Storyline for Marketing Real Estate

Hi, 

I posted this in the Storyline forum, but someone mentioned I might get a better response here. 

I was wondering if anyone has heard of Storyline being used to market properties. I would think that its ability to create interactive maps and use video for virtual tours would make it ideal for that purpose. I'm not a real estate agent, but I will be selling my condo next year, so that's what got me thinking. I'd love to see some samples if anyone knows of any, or if you have any suggestions, they'd be most appreciated.

    While I certainly think this would be interesting, I think it's important to make sure you're using it for only the correct pieces of information.

    For example, I would never create an entire site in Storyline because you lose the ability for users to copy/paste text and a lot of general SEO advantages of having a normal site. I also liked linking images to family/friends so they could see the apartments I was looking at - this is a feature you lose in Storyline.

    However, I might create a little virtual tour in it as a single piece of the entire marketing set up. That said - It would need to be well done and really thought out for mobile. Half of my apartment searching right now is being done on mobile.

  • Hi Kima,

    I've seen a few examples that were set up as "virtual tours" so I thought I'd share them here:

    It's a Free Virtual Tour Storyline Template

    Virtual Tours in Online training

    Storyline: Virtual tour of Paris

    Virtual Office Security Tour

    You may also want to look in the Building Better Courses forum, as that side tends to have more examples, ideas, and a focus on design/how to questions vs. the Product forums where more questions are asked about technical or support issues.

      Thanks, this is helpful. 

      Humm, I see you're point. I've run a search on all forums, but maybe I should repost my question on the other forum.
