“Child’s Play” Marketing with Immersive Walkthroughs

Making your nursery marketing child’s play

It all began with a chance phone call last April…

‘Can you help us? We need a way to showcase and market our nursery to parents as they aren’t allowed in anymore and we think you can help’...

Little did we know then the impact of that call which has resulted in us travelling throughout the UK, from our base in St Albans and Harpenden, over the last 12 months to help a wide range of businesses create a unique way to showcase and market their businesses in a fully immersive and unique way.

We’re Immersive Walkthroughs - a local family business and provider of unique 3D Virtual Tours - and it’s been fascinating over the last 12 months to see how technology has been fast tracked into all areas of our life.

One such industry that’s really benefi ted from our unique technology and 3D virtual tours has been the nursery and childcare sector. For so many childcare settings, providing parents with the opportunity to come in and have a look around is a critical part of their marketing so not being able to welcome people in with open arms was a real problem.

These unique virtual tours have provided them with a superb way to showcase their premises and market them to parents without the need for people to actually visit.

And they are continuing to be a big hit too!

But will the trend continue?

As we slowly start coming out of the pandemic, we thought that the demand for these may reduce but it’s not showing any signs of slowing down at this point. Indeed forward-thinking owners/managers of nurseries have recognised that their 3D virtual tours are giving them a marketing ‘edge’ over other nurseries that haven’t adopted this unique technology.

In addition, it’s helping nurseries improve their conversion rate with new parents as the virtual tour is acting like a ‘fi rst showing’ meaning that those that do then want to chat further are better qualifi ed leads. And that’s giving them a ‘head start’ over other providers when it comes to parents short listing potential options for their children.

But what do nursery owners say?

We asked three owners of nurseries that have adopted our 3D virtual tours what impact they had and here’s what they said…

Samantha Devoti - Owner of Apple Trees Nursery in Hertfordshire said... ‘We’re delighted with the 3D virtual tour for our Nursery & Pre-School. It not only provides us with a great way to take parents and carers on a ‘virtual show around’ of our facilities, but it gives us a unique way of marketing our nursery too. We’d defi nitely recommend this service to other childcare providers.’

Laura Causley - Owner of Over the Rainbow Day Nursery, in Essex, goes a step further suggesting that ‘this is a must have resource for all nursery owners.’ Samantha Rennie, Managing Director Nurture in Nature Education, also tells us that ‘Our 3D Virtual Tour has transformed the way we showcase our nursery and it’s a superb way for parents and supporters to take a tour and see what we have to offer our children and families. Highly recommend it!’
