Tips For Hotel Video Production And Internet Marketing Success

By Angela Allen


In today's world almost all businesses, no matter how small, have to have an internet presence. When someone decides to buy something, find the best vacation spot, or book accommodations, they automatically go online to research the options. If you are in the midst of a hotel video production, you must put your best foot forward in the most professional way possible. You will need to work efficiently in order to maximize the final product at the most affordable price.

Large, chain hotels have millions of dollars to spend on marketing each year. Smaller, independent hotel and inn owners and managers may think they cannot challenge their corporate competition, but that is not true at all. There is a strong market for the smaller companies if they are smart enough to focus on who their customers are.

As you begin your marketing strategy, you and your team need to think long and hard about what kind of image you want the public to have of you. You need to decide on a target market and center your advertising around them. Your business might cater to young adults with children or single adults who expect upscale accommodations for instance.

You will also need to concentrate on what you want your advertising to do for you. Are you trying to exposure your business to international clients or do you want to keep the clients you have coming back again and again? Whatever your goals, you should keep them in mind at all times and avoid diluting the message with trendy graphics or smart copy that does not actually move your product.

If you want to appeal to tourists who might be interested in visiting your community, you could begin your video with a broad overview of the attractions in the area and then narrow the focus to spotlight your particular property. You can also work with the local Chamber of Commerce or Tourist Bureau to link your sites for mutual benefit and advertise on other websites to draw traffic to you.

You should always track the traffic to your website. You will want to know how long visitors stay and which pages are most popular. This way you can make any necessary adjustments and maximize what is working well. Most viewers like virtual tours that give them a good idea of what they can expect if they book accommodations at your establishment. You should show as much of your property as possible utilizing friends, family, or willing guests in the videos having a great time.

It is always a good idea to spotlight any specials or package deals you have available. There may be something you can tease your viewers with it to get them to come back to your website on a regular basis. A good marketing team will have a lot of creative ideas.

Tech savvy and highly professional marketing tools are critical for a service business. You are not just selling brick and mortar. You are selling a one of a kind experience and a comfortable, welcoming environment.
