360 Viewshed is more than 360 photographers. We are your marketing partners.
The 360 Viewshed team starts with communication before the camera. Whether you need 5 photographs or 500, we begin by establishing your goals so we know how our virtual tours can support your needs. It isn’t enough anymore to simply have 360 photographs. They need to be planned and targets to your audience. A few of the concepts we work with are listed below.
- For a restaurant wanting to attract diners: We showcase the food rather than just empty tables and chairs by setting up a table with an attractive meal that people want to sit down and enjoy.
- A small town wanting to showcase Mainstreet businesses: Make the photographs memorable by adding interest. Examples include putting some classic cars in the street, or a couple of horses tied up in front of the café.
- Businesses do not exist in isolation: Coordinate with neighbors to bring people to your community through 360 photographs that show multiple attractions in the area.
Once the concept is developed, we plan the photograph location and shoot the images with a professional DSLR or an Insta360 Pro six-lens camera. The 360 photographs are then edited to remove the tripod and other distractions. Each 360 package includes one reshoot if the client requests that.
These images are a section of photographs from a Google Streetview project. The business, Reins of Love, in Minnesota, offers horseback riding lessons and equine therapy for special needs riders. The satellite imagery on Google Maps was taken before the indoor arena was built and the customer needed to let potential clients know that she had a facility where services are offered year-round by getting updated imagery on Google Streetview.
We deliberately chose a day in which there was an event at the stable. Showing many people and cars at the location sends the message that the business if popular and busy, which implies that they offer a quality product. There are people interacting with friendly horses. a barbeque going. This lets viewers know that this is not just a horseback riding business, but a place where horse lovers can find a fun, and welcoming community.
