First, here’s a little bit more about how it works.

Statistics: What virtual tours can do for your business

• Video ads using 360-degree technology drive 7% higher purchase intent on smartphones and a 12% increase in the belief that a brand has a “unique story to tell” when compared to traditional video ads, according to a new study by IPG’s Magna and IPG Media Lab units done in conjunction with YuMe by RhythmOne.
• The 360° Effect: 69% of consumers expressed intent to interact with brand videos in the future. Consumers are also eager to experience 360-degree video, even in advertising, but they expect the content to be fun and exciting. To drive higher purchase intent with 360-degree video, marketers must balance entertainment with brand messaging, as 88% of users who found 360-degree video ads to be “entertaining” plan to interact with similar efforts in the future.
