Increase Brand Value With Hotel Video Marketing

By Joyce Sullivan


These days, people are using videos to show off many things, from their furry friends to a tutorial for cooking or home construction project. In short, these can help a business reach a new audience for a fraction of using a traditional agency. Hotel video marketing can expose a brand to the right audience and demonstrate how hospitality has changed over the years.

When one is viewing ads online or on television, it can be hard to distinguish one from the other when they do not show off their unique features. In the eyes of the consumer, getting the best quality for less is what is important. Creating an effective video ad should demonstrate more than a sterile space with staff doing ordinary things, as this is not a unique feature worthy of showing online.

The most popular videos are the ones with action that serves a purpose, such as creating a fabulous scenario that may draw in the vicarious viewer. Most people know the traditional uses for a hotel but when they can see something new or different, all they want is how can they get in on the action. Events held in unusual settings can have this effect.

Hotels can show off things like outdoor or poolside weddings, special events held at the bar or themed restaurants located inside. Other ideas can be to show off things to do within the vicinity and the complimentary shuttle will take guests around town. Another idea would be to create a concept targeted to working people or those with limited funds.

Videos can also help create a profitable idea for a particular demographic. For instance, parents that work every day may want a break from the house but do not want to break the bank. Regular people being treated like royalty is something that other hard working adults can relate to, especially if the experience does not break the bank.

Sometimes TV commercials do not always share what is different about staying at a particular hotel, just that it is nice or clean. Unless a guest had a particularly unpleasant experience, they may not be aware of the various features before making a reservation. Video ads can target their ads to reach the intended demographic.

Of course the affordability factor does not relate to all audiences. Other angles are convenience or what is suitable for kids to be kids, or where adults can act like kids. There are some people willing to pay for something that is spectacular and will have guests talking for years to come.

Putting together a viral marketing plan should emphasize what the guest can look forward to during their stay. Many make the mistake of adding the essentials but in order to sell more services and create buzz, other entities should be shared on video. This holds especially true for companies that sell packages for less but the low price may be a sacrifice of the overall quality. By promoting what is exciting, guests can look forward to more than having a place to sleep and grabbing a bite.
