Hotel Video Production – Your Three Best Options

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Looking to add video to your hotel’s marketing mix? Don’t know how to get started?

There are three production options you could take:

1) Hire a video production company

Professionally produced hotel videos typically costs somewhere between £500 to £2000 to produce. They usually take one day of on-site filming and about 10 days of editing time to complete.

Advantages: Production quality, control over video content
Disadvantages: Production time & fee

2) Ask your guests to film their stay

Encourage your guests to shoot videos of their stay and your hotel for campaign use. You might need to lend them a camera during their stay.

Advantages: Authentic content shot from your guest’s perspective.
Disadvantages: No control over video content filmed, logistics & time involved with managing the campaign

3) Shooting the video yourself

If you only have a small budget, you may be forced to shoot the video yourself. You can buy half decent video cameras for a few hundred pounds.

Advantages: You are in complete control. You can film at the best time, place, and re-shoot if needed.
Disadvantages: Video quality will depend on your filming ability.

In our opinion, the more video content you have to work with, the better. You may eventually want to try all three of these hotel video production methods.

Dental Practice Website Video – Top Tips

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Prospective customers are influenced by a number of factors online. Dental practice website videos stand head and shoulders above the rest. They are now perceived as the most effective way to communicate and move a viewer to action.

Your practice’s videos should address the very reason that prospective customers go online: to get as much information as they can about their dental problem and how you can solve it. The greater the quantity and quality of answers to their questions your web-marketing videos can provide, the greater the chance for conversion to a customer.

Your video should contain the following:

- Relevant information on what prospective customers can expect from your dental practice. This information (and the way it is presented) is the key to getting the prospect to call your dental practice or fill out your contact form.

- Rather than touting your own credentials, the best way to demonstrate your capabilities to a viewer is to use testimonial videos of clients who had significant cases and whose lives were changed through your efforts.

- Project the personality of your dental practice to prospective customers. These days, the web is a much more social web browsing experience. You can capitalise on this new sense of community by using video to personalise your dental marketing.

Video marketing has a unique ability to resonate with the emotions of prospective customers. They encourage them to take action. Dental Practice Website Videos produce a much higher conversion rate than just text content. They could be the key to making your practice grow.
