VIDEO: To Merchandise or Not
VFM Leonardo, the leader in online visual content distribution for hotels, has launched a new episode on VTV Channel: To Merchandise or Not. Felix Laboy, President and General Manager at Sabre Hospitality Solutions, discusses how hotels are doing a better job of merchandising online they have been in the past. However, there is still room for improvement.
Hoteliers need to ensure their hotel information is not just out on the channels, but presented in the best way possible because better merchandised hotels are better positioned against their competitive set, have better exposure and higher revenues.
In this episode, you will learn tips on how to merchandise your hotel online:
- Optimize your website with relevant content
- Keep images, videos and rich media current
- Develop and execute a social media action plan
