How can hotels repurpose video content?

Hotels can get more mileage from their videos by using them in different ways. For example, a promotional video on your website can be turned into shorter clips for social media. Event videos can be condensed into highlight reels, instructional videos can become part of an on-demand series for guests, and testimonials can be included in email marketing or online ads. Reusing videos in various forms and across different platforms helps them reach more people and serve different purposes.

How should scripts be written for a hotel video?

When scripting a hotel video, keep it short, interesting, and focused around what guests want to know. Try and start the video with something that grabs attention, and use a tone that matches the vibe of your brand or hotel. Don’t forget a clear call-to-action, like booking a room or checking out your website. Keep it brief and get to the point – because people online don’t have a lot of patience.

How can hotels measure the impact of their video marketing?

Hotels can gauge the effectiveness of their video marketing efforts by analysing various metrics. They should track the number of video views, likes, shares, and comments on platforms like YouTube and social media. Keeping an eye on things like website traffic, bounce rates, and conversion rates linked to video content can reveal its impact on bookings. Monitoring email click-through rates and customer feedback can also provide valuable insights. Surveys and feedback forms can help assess the emotional and informational value of videos in the guest experience, ultimately offering a comprehensive understanding of their impact.

When is animation the best choice for hotel videos?

Animation shines when you want much more control over visual storytelling. It’s great for crafting a polished, imaginative portrayal of your hotel’s amenities, services, and ambience, which matches your hotel’s brand and overall vibe. Animation can be welcoming, fun and makes a great first impression. It’s also a great solution for when live-action filming can’t quite capture the mood you’re going for or when you have filming limitations – for example, if your hotel is undergoing renovations or you have a busy hotel desk you struggle to close down for filming.

When is live action the best choice for hotels?

Choose live action for hotel videos when you want to show the real deal – the hotel’s actual physical attributes, genuine guest experiences, and the beauty of its surroundings. It’s perfect for capturing the authentic, unscripted moments and the unique vibe of your resort.
