Stand out from the competition by offering your clients an immersive way to explore your self-storage facility. With a virtual tour, they can navigate through your site at their convenience, gaining a true sense of the space, layout, and features before they visit in person.
By providing a realistic and engaging experience, you can build trust, improve customer confidence, and make it easier for potential renters to choose your facility over others. Give your clients the ability to see your space like never before and make their decision with confidence.
Showcase both interior and exterior areas, including parking, reception, multiple floors of storage units, rental offices, and even on-site amenities like a shop or cafe. There are no limits-highlight everything that makes your facility exceptional.
ENRICH THE TOUR WITH MATTERTAGS
Unlimited Mattertags can be created throughout the tour to provide valuable information for the user.
Each room can have a Mattertag providing information such as room number, room size, door type and lock type. Whatever information you want to provide can be added.
Extra media can be added to each tag such as a link to a video of how to lock the room. Links can also be added to give direct access to your website pages such as a booking page or T&C's.
Mattertags can be filtered by the viewer to allow them to focus on what is important to them. For example if they want to see where all of the 50 sq/ft units are in you facility a quick filter will immediately showcase their locations. Or a search for a specific room number will instantly show where the room is within the facility.
Improve your Sales efficiency. Your site manager can email a link of the Mattertag so that the potential client can click to see their proposed unit, look around, see the dimensions and make a decision without needing to visit the site. Try a link
All of this extra information keeps the user engaged and helps empower them to rent one of your spaces.





LIVE DIMENSIONS
With one of our Virtual Tours the whole site is dimensionally captured. This means that the user can see the length and width of the room using the measure tool in the Plan View. However, for some users the height of the room is also important for the items they are looking to store. This is not a problem, if the user switches to walk-around view and turns on the measure tool the length, width and height of the room is instantly displayed.

Virtual Tours have been shown to significantly increase user engagement on a website. Studies show that websites with virtual tours tend to have higher conversion rates, as users feel more confident in their decisions after visually experiencing a space. The tour can be embedded into your website, added to Google Maps and used in your social media marketing.
