Q: Tell us a bit more about why you started a company in the glamping industry.
We embarked on our journey by providing services that breathe life into outdoor spaces. The Glamping industry is known for its unique blend of outdoor and indoor spaces, and there's an ever-growing demand for content from campers eager to find their next camping spot. However, as we delved deeper into this world and started building virtual tours, we quickly discovered significant gaps in the existing tour builder software. Two major pain points emerged: the steep learning curve and the considerable time required to create these immersive 360-degree virtual tours.
After a year of grappling with the limitations of the existing software, we couldn't help but think: What if we could empower business operators to build these virtual tours on their own? What if we could minimize the learning curve and drastically reduce the time it takes to create these captivating outdoor experiences? This marked the inception of the next phase in our journey – the creation of TillerXR Virtual Tour Studio.
Q: Tell us a bit about where your glamping business is today? Where do you see your business in the future?
We are thrilled to unveil the upcoming MVP release of the TillerXR Virtual Tour Studio, scheduled to launch in January 2024. What sets our virtual tour studio apart is its exceptional usability, which is a game-changer for business owners and marketing teams. With our intuitive software, you can effortlessly create virtual tours while customizing and branding them to perfectly align with your business's identity.
Our cutting-edge software algorithm takes your marketing efforts to the next level. It allows you to seamlessly auto-connect panoramic images using GPS data, drastically reducing the time required to create captivating virtual tours. What once took days or even weeks can now be accomplished in mere seconds!
Hiring external professionals to produce virtual tours can be costly, with expenses quickly adding up. With our user-friendly software, you can eliminate the need for expensive outsourcing, saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on each project. To make this even more achievable, we've partnered with a leading camera company to offer exclusive 25% discounts on 360-degree camera rentals. We are thrilled about the future of immersive content, particularly the rising popularity of 360 virtual experiences. By adopting virtual tours as a key component of your marketing strategy, you can position your business ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving hospitality and tourism market. With TillerXR, you're not merely creating virtual tours; you're crafting compelling marketing experiences that connect with today's tech-savvy travelers and pave the way for engagement with the digital mediums of tomorrow.
Q: What are you most excited about within the glamping industry moving forward?
Virtual tours are rapidly becoming the new standard for showcasing accommodations, attractions, and destinations. In today's digital age, travelers and potential customers look for immersive experiences that go beyond the static images and brochures. Virtual tours offer that extra dimension, enabling your audience to explore and engage with your offerings right from the comfort of their own devices.
Meanwhile, glamping experiences are undergoing remarkable innovation and creativity like never before. It's truly exciting to witness the evolution of glamping spaces, with unique and innovative structures entering the market. What's equally thrilling is how technology is playing a pivotal role in empowering business owners to create world-class glamping experiences.
