TORONTO, ON – Aside from the many rational reasons for booking a hotel -location, price and amenities, travel shoppers want to know how a hotel stay will enhance their travel experience... or the emotional benefits. Online video has proven to be a powerful medium to engage and interact with shoppers and extol a hotel's emotional benefits and convert a travel shopper to a buyer. But many hoteliers don't know where to start in order to incorporate video into their online marketing activities.

VFM Leonardo is hosting a complimentary one hour webinar on September 23rd at 2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific, during which, Chief Marketing Officer John McAuliffe, will share several examples of how successful hoteliers are leveraging the power of online video to increase bookings. Through these success stories, attendees will learn the keys to using video to convert shoppers into buyers, including:

  • Best practices for producing, displaying and syndicating hotel videos online
  • How other hoteliers are producing quality videos for nominal budgets
  • How they deliver relevant messages through seasonal, special occasion and niche topic videos
  • How they display video on their websites and landing pages for optimal conversions
  • How they syndicate their videos to thousands of traditional travel and social media websites
