Imagine holding a small beacon in your pocket, which you have programmed with a powerful strategic message perfect for the environment you find yourself in – perhaps a trade show floor or a festival event.
With a single click, anyone within a 400 meter range of you receives your message on their phone, offering them something they can’t resist. Your message delights the audience and they appreciate the instant gratification of your offer.
Perhaps you’ve already experienced “proximity marketing.” Most likely if you’re a Starbucks fan, you’ve received a free drink for more than one happy hour occasion. Or perhaps you’ve walked into a store and been pinged about the 10% offer made just for you.
Proximity marketing is incredibly effective, and we are very close to being able to offer this technology to our members! Continue Reading…
Perhaps the most challenging part of our job each day is opening a conversation with a person who has never heard of TrueTour®, and doing our best to induce such enthusiasm and inspired curiosity that we successfully live through the first 2 minutes. If we can survive the initial skepticism and natural tendency to say no for no reason, then we are pretty much golden. Once a person sees what TrueTour is, and what it can do for any sales and marketing team, then the fun begins and the conversation is a bit like telling a child he will literally be meeting Santa any minute and can actually have every toy he wants. Really. Continue Reading…
It is thrilling when a member embraces the potential of TrueTour in an exciting way. It’s even more thrilling when they are acknowledged by their community, by their peers, and recognized globally for their innovation.
We’d like to congratulate COHO Services and Southpark Seafood for receiving an Adrian Award from Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) for Digital Marketing Innovation. Specifically, Southpark is recognized for their use of TrueTour in the strengthening of their brand.
We are thrilled to announce that Matterport has selected Visiting Media for a Matty Award! Our Evergreen Air & Space Museum is in the running for “ Best Transportation Space”. Visiting Media is honored to be selected alongside so many impressive 3D models.
If you haven’t yet explored this trending phenomenon, Matterport is a powerful tool used to present your venue as a glorious 3D model. It is perfect for exploring virtual spaces on any digital devices, and provides unique context and perspective, as well as a fun interactive component to engage the viewer. Once we’ve captured our members’ content with our unique 3D camera, we use Matterport’s technology in conjunction with ours to create the 3D dollhouse models and aerial floor plans found within TrueTour®.
Needless to say, the Matterport 3D model feature is one of our most popular member benefits. Matterport by itself is pretty exciting. But, Matterport as an added component within TrueTour transforms the 3D Model into an uber powerful selling tool, connecting the dots for the viewer and making the buying decision seamless and significantly easier.

We understand how important it is to stand out from the crowd at a trade show. With so many booths, often filled with colleagues and competitors within your shared industry, customers and consumers can get overwhelmed by sensory overload.
