The Boilerhouse Gentleman is located within the suburbs of West Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne within a charming gatehouse, recently converted into a high end Barbers. The business is not visible from the main highstreet public traffic and therefore to increase client engagement they wanted to add a Virtual Tour to their website allowing for potential new customers to see their amazing space virtually to be enticed into booking an appointment.
Their 3D tour allowed for the business to increase their footfall virtually by providing more exposure for new clients to see the shop.
Virtual Tour
Showcase your business to the world 24/7 with a fully immersive virtual tour of your space/premises. Let existing and potential customers visit your business remotely, take them on a tour of your facilities, show them products you sell or equipment you use. Viewers are shown to be 300% more engaged with a Matterport 3D virtual tour than they are with 2D imagery.
Visual Record
This tour provides the client with a visual record and a perfect reference as to how the spaces should be maintained by the staff and colleagues. This can also be useful for training by showing staff where items are to be placed and your expectations on presentation allowing for consistency. If a colleague or maintenance personnel is not sure where an item goes or is located, you can easily send a link via text / email highlighting its position within the virtual tour.
Buildings & Contents Insurance
A fully scanned building premises captures the entire space and provides a record of contents. This model provides the owner with an easy way to catalogue all contents and the high quality and finish off the space which is useful if damages occur due to fire or thef, which can simplify making a claim by complimenting your inventory log with the virtual tour.
Training
Tour is useful for training and provides a virtual space for new team members to familiarize themselves with the space. Tags allow for annotations, labels and descriptions of items and spaces.
ADHD, Autism and Anxiety
The barbershop is set within a historic gatehouse with limited views into the space from the street. The tour allows for people with anxiety to explore the space before they make the journey so they know what to expect when they arrive. No more worrying about what is inside as you can see virtually every accessible space. A virtual tour is far more engaging for users meaning that they explore what you have to offer a lot longer than they would with conventional video or photographs.
New clients
Allows for potential clients to explore the space and be more informed on what they have to offer such as the bar and complimentary drink, a nice space to wait and socialize, the quality of the products they use and what the space looks and feels like. The tour allows for greater engagement than photos or video as the experience is more immersive and therefore the likelyhood of the tour increasing client engagement and booking an appointment is increased.
