Use Hotel Video Marketing For Better Targeting

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.

Videos can be used to create vivid imagery that will translate how guests can use available space for events, meetings and other gatherings. Most people do not think beyond its traditional use, which is staying for a night or two while on vacation or business trip. Helping the audience see beyond the old use is what will attract them beyond one or two general purposes.

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.

One nice visual could show someone who has been putting in long hours at work and long overdue for some relaxation, Action scenes that demonstrate how this person is treated like someone special or shows body language that is tranquil. The theme could be taking time out for self or how a local vacation can help relieve tension without spending a lot.

As the most effective video marketing campaigns are designed to deliver an objective in little time, content must say something quickly. Unless a business uses humor or some other unique delivery in their ads, showing off features is vital. Some franchises may not resonate with a person that does not regularly use hotels.

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.
