Virtual Tour
• Creating a virtual experience without
actually being there
• Picture, video, audio
Interactive Map vs Virtual Tour
Interactive Map
• Interacting with a user
• Providing a means to give input and
get results

So an interactive map is always a virtual tour, but a virtual tour isn’t always an
interactive map.

3. Tangible Return on Investment
![Page 20: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Establishing ROI
If we can work backwards from the value of a student we can establish the value of
an Interactive Campus Map.
*All numbers are created as examples
![Page 21: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Let’s Do Some Math
• Average Years = 3• Cost Per Year = $20,000• Average Yearly Discount = $10,000
• Student Value = 3 * ($20,000 - $10,000)• So a Student is worth
$30,000!
![Page 22: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Let’s Do Some Math
• Student Value = $30,000• Conversion Rate in Applicant = 20%
• App Value = $30,000 * .2• So an Applicant is worth
$6,000!
![Page 23: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Value Of Campus Tour
![Page 24: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Let’s Do Some Math
• Application Value = $6,000• Conversion Rate of Visits to Applicant = 20%
• Value of Visit = $6,000 * .2• So Each Student Visit is Worth
$1,200!
![Page 25: The benefits of an interactive campus map](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/545942e1b1af9fba5d8b4fc3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Let’s Do Some Math
• Visit Value = $1,200• Conversion of Map to Visit = 5%
• Value of a Map View = $1,200 * .05• So Each Map View is Worth
$60!

Then Having A Map Is Worth $60,000!
Per Month!

• Use Flash – it’s inaccessible and creates a maintenance nightmare
• Only images – Include more content than just a map with some photo galleries. Tours need context.
• Ignore updates – Keep building information and imagery fresh. You virtual tour needs the power to entice real visits.
