Case Study: Preserve Louisiana keeps the Old Governor’s Mansion open virtually with STQRY

Preserve Louisiana at the Old Governor’s Mansion

Preserve Louisiana, a cultural institution, faced the challenge of maintaining public engagement and revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the closure of its Old Governor's Mansion. The organization had previously used the STQRY app to offer self-guided tours, but the crisis required a solution to operate virtually.

The STQRY solution involved expanding the app's features to include virtual tours, quizzes, and badges, creating an interactive experience for remote visitors and students. This allowed Preserve Louisiana to charge digital admission and generate revenue during lockdown, making it one of the few institutions to do so. The STQRY app also ensured visitor and staff safety by becoming the sole method for tours upon reopening.
