Helpful Hints For Hotel Video Production And Internet Marketing Success

By Angela Allen


No business can really afford to skimp on marketing in today's competitive world. Most companies understand a website is a necessity and that it must have as professional an appearance as possible. When people are planning an annual vacation or a business trip, they go online to get information about air lines, attractions, and accommodations. While price is usually an important consideration, the way a hotel video production presents the establishment and influences its audience is critical.

It is imperative that your site have professional photography, graphics, and copy in order to compete with the large chain companies that budget millions of dollars a year for targeted marketing and cutting edge advertising. You may not have those financial resources, but you can mount a very aggressive marketing campaign by following a few steps.

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.

Maybe you want to expand your customer base or your brand. You may want to keep in touch with guests who have enjoyed your accommodations in the past. You will have to decide what your target is and make certain everyone on your team is focused on just those goals. Anything that doesn't further your message, no matter how original or interesting it may be, should be avoided.

It might be a good idea to tie your business in with attractions that bring tourists to the area. You can do that on your own site or arrange with local government agencies and tourist bureaus to add your links and ads to their websites. If you reciprocate, all of you will benefit by the added exposure.

Once you get someone to your site, you will only have a few seconds to draw them in. If you fail to do this, they will click off your site and probably not be back. Your graphics must be professional, interesting and interactive. Potential guests will want to know what the accommodations look like, and you can provide this information with a good virtual tour. Be sure to include visitors enjoying themselves in your video.

You can appeal to visitors to your website with special package deals that might include discounted tickets to area attractions or coupons for local restaurants. You might also have special rates during certain parts of the year that would interest the public.

Every dollar you spend on marketing should be working for you. Getting feedback from guests is a great way to find out if your advertising is effective or needs some rethinking.
