How much does it cost to make a virtual tour?
Making a virtual tour of a property, venue or location can be an effective way of marketing your business, but how much will it cost?
People ask how much it costs to make a virtual tour. Cost is important so it’s no surprise that this is one of the most frequently asked questions!
The truth is, it depends on what you need!
If you just need a basic virtual tour to showcase your venue, restaurant or property to show on your website, the cost can be relatively low.
If you want a full-blown, fully interactive 360 degree photosphere tour of your venue, property, or building as a promotional tool, then the cost will be higher depending on the size and features required to showcase your business.
What do you want to do with your virtual tour?
You could create a simple virtual tour to showcase your property, restaurant or venue on your website.
But, if you are looking to make a more impactful virtual tour, you will need to consider the following factors:
- What is your budget for the virtual tour?
- How many scenes do you need to include?
- Do you want to include videos?
- Are you going to have any interactive elements eg POIs (points of interest)?
- How many optional features from the list below will be needed to effectively showcase the property or venue?
- What is your preferred format?
- Where do you want to use your tour eg website, YouTube…
Options available when it comes to pricing your 360 virtual tour
The main factor involved in how your 360 virtual tours is priced is the number of panoramic scenes needed to take in order to effectively showcase the areas of the business you want your customers to discover and learn more about.
The base price is based on the total number of panoramic images needed to create an effective tour to highlight and differentiate your business or venue!
The number of panoramic images that you need to create depends on the size of the space and the areas you are shooting. The larger the space, the more panoramic images you will need.
You will also need more panoramic images to show customers the entire layout.
This means that the more 3D photospheres needed, the more expensive the 360 tour will be. If you are looking to create a unique virtual tour, it’s important to think about what kind of panoramic scenes you need.
The most important thing to remember is that a virtual tour is like a map of your business.
It can show the customers & clients the entire area and facilities offered by your business.
So, the more panoramic scenes you take, the more places you can show your customers. This will help you to make the most of your virtual tour.
If you want to get the most out of your 360 virtual tours, you should only include panoramic scenes that are relevant to your business.
If you have a small space, you won’t need as many panoramic images.
