Red Coach Donuts Sweetens Experience with a Virtual Tour

Founded in 2018, Red Coach Donuts has quickly become a local favorite in Stevensville, MI. It is known for its scratch-made donuts that come in whimsical flavors and inventive combinations. In fact, the shop prides itself on not just the quality of its products but also its welcoming, cozy atmosphere. In addition to donuts, Red Coach Donuts serves exceptional coffee, delicious pastries, and refreshing beverages—a must-visit for all!

From Scratch-Made Donuts to Digital Innovation

In November 2023, Red Coach Donuts enhanced its customer experience by investing in a Google Street View Trusted virtual tour. Published in January 2024, the tour quickly became a valuable asset for the business. Third-party research shows nearly half of adults use virtual tours to explore a company’s products and services. Additionally, Google Street View Trusted virtual tours and imagery boost engagement across websites, listings, and social media, driving traffic and attracting more customers. Red Coach Donuts has experienced this impact firsthand, with 1,642 clicks for directions and 430 clicks to call from their Google listing since May 2024. They also remain the only listing to appear when searching for donut shops in Stevensville, MI. This growing online visibility signals a bright future for Red Coach Donuts as they continue to leverage digital tools to connect with more customers and strengthen their brand.

Sweet Sentiment from Red Coach Donuts

Owner Sam Ring shared their excitement about the impact of the virtual tour:

“I would like to take a moment to thank the Google Street View Trusted virtual tour team. From the beginning, their punctuality and efficiency was most impressive. Also, their amazing photos and presentation allowed for us to not only show off our product but our store decor which we take great pride in. With over 2,100 views in only three short months, I am so happy with the results. Everyone gets an opportunity to experience Red Coach Donuts with just the click of a button. The virtual tour allows an opportunity from street view all the way in the front door and a 360 view of the restaurant. I would strongly recommend this for any company who would like to showcase what they are doing!”
