If Pictures, they say, speak louder than a thousand words, then a virtual tour speaks ten thousand words. Of course, our brain relates and connects easily to what it sees more than what it hears. Ever wondered why you find it much easier to recollect people’s faces more than their names? Nature at work!
As a business owner looking to expand your business, you can exploit the brain’s affinity for visuals to attract more customers, and hence shorten the sales cycle.
Before the clouds of doubt of this possibility swoops over you, consider this typical scenario.
A couple, Chris and Juliet (fictional names) are looking to buy a 3-bedroom apartment, and so contacts a realtor or real estate agent for available listings. He then sends them a link to a virtual tour of some available apartments. The couple opens the link to a walk-through virtual tour of the apartment from the outside to the inside, from the sitting room to the bathroom and kitchen.
Chris and Juliet walked through the whole 8 available apartments from the comfort of their phone/computer and selected house number 3 for outright purchase without stepping an inch.
A smart thing the Realtor / real estate agent did to get Chris and Juliet to buy the house was to contract Opinow Media to create a virtual tour for all his available house.
Though fictional, the scenario above is typical and can happen every day. So, if you could figure out a way of letting potential customers see your products, real estate listing, hotel room, cars etc, making a sale is very close to certain. And there is no better way to show off your stuff than using virtual tours.

What is a Virtual Tour?
As the name implies, virtual tour means taking a tour of a place – virtually through your smartphone, computer or V. R headset, that’s to say without physically being present there. Say you owned a real estate business and wished to show a client living far away from a property. Ordinarily taking pictures of every part of the property and sending them to the client might suffice.
The problem, however, is that this client won’t have a feel of the pictures he’s seeing. But with a virtual tour, the client would feel as though he or she is in the property. He could even move around even though being miles away from it.

There are many benefits of a virtual tour
• Unlike pictures which, at best, look flat to the viewer, a virtual tour has depth which gives it realism. Pictures are like watching a movie in black and white, a virtual tour is like watching a movie in colours. So, with a virtual tour, a prospective client will most likely make a purchase because can feel what he’s seeing.
• A virtual tour clears doubt off the mind of a prospective customer. Pictures can be manipulated, and an unsuspecting victim can be easily swindled. Customers know this, and so are always wary of the pictures they see. But a virtual tour can’t – what you see is exactly what is there. If there is a dent on that car, a customer would see it. If there is a crack in the wall of a building, the customer would see it. So, giving your customers a virtual tour of your product is a way of saying “I have confidence in my products, you can check them out”
Is a virtual tour ideal for my business?
Truth be told, not every business would need to invest money in a virtual tour. If you offer bulk SMS services, for instance, a virtual tour isn’t for you. Basically, if your business is one that requires a customer to first see before deciding whether to buy or not, a virtual tour is a must-have. Ideal businesses that need a virtual tour include:
• Hotels
• Automobile dealers
• Property managers
• Realtors
• Furniture sellers
• Art galleries
• Clubs and Casinos
• Restaurants

5. A superb reputation takes years to build–and minutes to lose.
6. There’s no point in being rich but sick.
7. Adore your parents. You’ll miss them when
they’re gone.
8. If you’re not making things better you’re making things worse.
9. Being optimistic and enthusiastic never goes out of style.

22. Love your family like there’s no tomorrow because one day there won’t be.

This is so true...., I live in the north and an old yoruba man once told my dad that "when U travel to any new land and cannot find an Igbo man in the area, it will be wise not to spend more than 1 night there." And also, "when U travel to a new country and cannot find a Nigerian there, it will be wise to also leave the place"

rudedough: [b]Bro i will never in my life have a Child in Nigeria. Never!!! Nigerians mentality sucks big time and if my Child should have this barbaric hating attitude, i'll regret it for the rest of my life.

Travel and see how people appreciates little things, smile, say thank you, call to say hello and reduce prices of goods during festive seasons so that everyone including the poor can celebrate.

But Nigerians are the opposite. A customer will call a sales girl "Hey where you?". A doctor will treat a patient and she just walks away because she's paying no thank you, no appreciation. A cab driver drops you off at your house, no thank you, you just get down and walk away cos of course you paid. Farming and Taxi driving are considered as a poor man's job and during festive seasons, they increase the prices of goods so that only the rich will celebrate.

Anyone who gives birth to a child in Nigeria should be stoned to death as prescribed by the Mosaic law cos there is nothing as wicked as giving birth to a child into an irresponsible society.

Just look at NL as an example and see people who are going to be your next door neighbor. [/b]

U started well, but ended in a disappointing way...SMH, every change you anticipate should start with you. *Fresh air till 2019*
