Driving Community Support for a $25.9M School Bond

The South O’Brien Community School District needed community support for a $25.935 million bond to upgrade its facilities. To boost awareness and understanding of need, the district partnered with Egents to create an immersive interactive Virtual Tour, showcasing areas needing improvement. The tour featured hotspots with detailed explanations, a Superintendent-led video overview, and a drop-down menu for easy navigation. Amplified by a QR code and a social media montage, the tour drew over 6,900 visits in its first week, with visitors averaging 11.5 interactions each. The community overwhelmingly voted to approve the bond proposal, paving the way for much-needed facility upgrades.

Boosting Visibility of Hospital and Attracting Patients

For hospitals like Cherokee Regional Medical Center, visibility and trust are essential for connecting with patients, especially in rural areas. To help them stand out, Egents created an immersive, interactive 720-degree virtual tour, allowing patients to explore the hospital’s modern facilities, skilled staff, and comprehensive services from the comfort of their homes. This helped build trust and confidence, giving patients a clear understanding of the hospital’s offerings before visiting in person. By enhancing visibility and fostering transparency, the tour showcased the hospital's commitment to quality care, deepened patient engagement, and expanded its reach, strengthening its connection with the community.

Showcasing City Development and Attracting Investment

The Sheldon Chamber & Development Corporation (SCDC) partnered with Egents to create an immersive virtual tour showcasing the city’s infrastructure development and future projects. This tour allowed potential investors to explore key developments at their own pace, resulting in increased visibility, deeper engagement, and significant new investments, driving Sheldon’s economic development forward.
