“We wanted to show the facilities and locations of our Speke head office to our staff and visitors, Engage enabled us to achieve this.”
Jane ShawThe Very Group
For any event space, getting the layout, ambience and facilities just right is absolutely vital, it's what sets you apart for your competition. This can cost tens of thousands or more to achieve and with an Engage tour you can open up your venue to the world, let potential customers see why you are different and get a return for that investment.
With an Engage tour, your customers can walk around your space like they are there in person, in a 3D fully immersive experience. There is no better way to showcase your space.
Connect With Your Customers
Customer Engagement is what makes the Engage system special by allowing you to reach new customers, show them your space and make a booking there and then. Imagine having a Zoom call with a potential customer and showing them round your space, in real time, face to face, but remotely. In addition, any part of your premises, room, office, dining area or event space can be booked directly from the Engage tour.
Book a Space
The Engage system can provide the ability for customers to book offices, conference venues and other spaces directly from within the tour by literally clicking on the space they want to book. This can then interface with your booking/reservation system or simply send you an email with the client’s credentials.
Live Guided Tour
Selling event space to remote customers can be challenging. With Engage, your Events Manager can connect with potential customers, talk to them face to face and guide them through the space as if they were there in person.
Keep Them In The Know
Engage offers a multitude of ways for you to provide up to date information to your clients directly within the tour. A list of upcoming events taking place in your spaces, a showcase of different layouts that displays uses for the space, even video footage of the recent events showing directly in the space they took place in. Anything is possible with Engage.
Event Booking
Being able to show a customer around the ideal space available to them, and then allowing them to book it there and then, is a compelling sales tool.
Video and Media
Any part of your space can become interactive, a video feed of a successful past event, a slideshow of photographs showing room layouts, or a welcome video from the Sales Manager. The possibilities are endless.
Get Insights On Your Visitors
The Engage system includes the powerful Engage BI interface that offers a wealth of features for you to manage and control your tour. Key to the system is the business intelligence it offers through analytics. Understanding where your customers are located, how long they spend in the tour, where they go and even what they look at, can all be tracked. These analytics offer a unique insight into your client base and allows you to make informed business decisions.

Interactive Features
A hotspot is a clickable element that can be positioned anywhere in your Engage tour that can display text, images and videos. You could click on the kitchen area to show a meal being prepared in a video, or a table menu to show the various meals on offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of an Engage tour depends on a couple of factors, the size of the space being shot, and the feature set implemented. An average sized event space can cost as low as £1,250 which includes the photography shoot, custom branding, Google Streetview version, Engage BI and expert deployment.
Yes, an annual fee of £300 is applied that includes fast, reliable hosting along full support from our expert team. This fee only applies from the second year and is included in the initial cost in the first year.
Of course! We can work with you to arrange the appropriate date and time to shoot the tour. Our team of experts can advise on some best practices on when and how to shoot the tour at the time of the survey.
Absolutely. Over time, you will want to make changes to your décor, the layout, or even add more space or rooms. We keep a digital 3D model from your original tour and can revisit to shoot the areas that have been updated. The cost for the reshoot will typically be less than the original shoot allowing you to keep your tour up to date without a huge outlay each time.
The duration of the shoot largely depends on the size and complexity of the space. After we have conducted the initial survey, we can confirm how long the tour will take. An average sized event space can be shot within 3 - 4 hours and does not require your business to be closed.
