Virtual tours for supermarkets
Layout, accessibility and the parts people miss.
Supermarkets are not really discovered through search, but a tour still earns its place for two reasons that have nothing to do with marketing: accessibility and operations.
- Support customers with accessibility requirements
- Let head office review layouts remotely
- Promote in-store services customers overlook
- Capture an estate to one consistent standard
Why it works for this sector
For customers with mobility needs, anxiety or accessibility requirements, being able to see the layout, the aisle widths and the entrance before visiting removes a genuine barrier. That is a real service, and it is increasingly expected.
Operationally, head office teams can review layout, merchandising and standards across an estate without travelling, which is the same benefit that made the Richer Sounds campaign valuable beyond marketing.
How big a tour do you need?
Individual stores usually fit our Medium tier at £825; estates are quoted as one campaign.
Every tour is priced on scenes, not square footage.
See what each tier includes, or answer five questions and we will size it for you.
Supermarkets virtual tours - your questions answered
Is a tour really worth it for a supermarket?
For accessibility and internal operations more than marketing. Customers with mobility needs value it, and head office reviewing layouts remotely is a real saving.
Can you shoot during trading?
We would normally capture before opening for a clear result, though we can shoot during quiet trading periods with customer consent managed.
How much does a supermarket tour cost?
From £825 per store, with the per-site rate improving across an estate. All prices are plus VAT.
How long does it take from shoot to live?
Between 4 and 10 working days from shoot to live, depending on the size of the job.
What are your payment terms?
A 50% deposit secures your date and is due no later than two weeks before the shoot. 25% is payable once the shoot is complete, and the final 25% on delivery and sign-off, at which point the tour and any photography or video assets are sent to you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included free within London Zones 1 to 4. Anywhere else is priced by mileage or by mode of transport, and it is set out in your quote before you commit.
Are your prices inclusive of VAT?
All prices are plus VAT. Your written quote always shows the VAT separately, so there are no surprises at invoice.
Who owns the finished tour and images?
We retain copyright of the finished work, and you receive a lifetime licence to use it however you like: your website, listings, social channels, print and advertising.

Call, email or send a floor plan and we will count the scenes and tell you which tier you fall into. We respond to every enquiry within 15 minutes during business hours, with a tailored written quote rather than a figure plucked out of the sky.

Book your date
A 50% deposit secures the date, due no later than two weeks before the shoot. Travel is free within London Zones 1 to 4; anywhere else is priced by mileage or transport mode and shown in your quote.
- 032 to 8 hours
Shoot day
Between 2 and 8 hours on site depending on the size of the space, planned around your opening and trading hours. We have shot entire retail estates without costing a single trading hour, so working around you is normal rather than exceptional.
- 0425% on completion
Stitching and post-production
Every panorama is stitched, levelled and colour corrected, then built into a tour that matches the layout of your space. If you have commissioned an enhanced tour, this is where the hotspots, menus and calls to action are added.

Live and signed off
Between 4 and 10 working days from shoot to live, depending on the size of the job. Google tours then go through Google's own quality control, which usually takes 24 to 48 hours. Once you have signed off, the final payment is due and everything is sent over.
