I know personally, that I like to see what I am in for before I book a hotel or make a reservation at a restaurant. Yes, word of mouth is also a good way to go about things, but quickly searching for a video on YouTube to see the inside and outside of a hotel can help make my decision easier and more reassuring; it sets up less disappointment in the end. Lastly, another good point you make is that video can combine both tools of text and audio, which makes video even that more powerful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060662599915240719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1416908237131288078.post-65702012765167234982012-02-20T16:40:11.223-05:002012-02-20T16:40:11.223-05:00It is amazing to think of these YouTube sensations...It is amazing to think of these YouTube sensations and how their careers started over one video on the internet, but the reality is that it can happen! I agree that video will eventually be the norm for our society, already considering how fast it has grown over these past years. YouTube is the second largest search engine on the Internet, which clearly shows that people rather see something their searching, rather than just hear it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060662599915240719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1416908237131288078.post-86798935840271534222012-02-20T16:37:55.068-05:002012-02-20T16:37:55.068-05:00Sandy, I completely agree with you that when compa...Sandy, I completely agree with you that when companies use video it helps the consumer visualize the atmosphere, which can be a deciding factor especially for hotels, catering halls, etc. Also, video does help you better understand what you can expect because it literally shows you rather than just hearing it and imagining what to expect. Lastly, your point about properties updating means that videos need to be updated is extremely important and valuable. You want the consumer to be able to research the company and see for real exactly what the company looks like at that very moment, not from a few years or months back. Keeping current is critical, and I am glad you bring up this point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060662599915240719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1416908237131288078.post-36210630909198386922012-02-20T02:43:17.124-05:002012-02-20T02:43:17.124-05:00With YouTube becoming one of the fastest growing v...With YouTube becoming one of the fastest growing vlog and video sharing websites in the world, it is important for hospitality companies to become a part of this latest trend. Creating videos that promote the services offered at your establishment allows viewers and potential customers to be immersed into destination without physically being there. As stated in the video, 70% of people remember what they see and hear, and with YouTube having the features to allow companies to utilize both sight and sound it comes as a top marketing tool for hospitality companies. If restaurants and hotels create clips of their establishments, it then allows the potential customer to get an intimate view as if they were there. This will eventually make video the number one communication tool because people want to be able to hear and see something before they experience it. Video is also capable of including text and audio, so that is another plus in using it.Dominique Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412521448826900409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1416908237131288078.post-39010157477283520002012-02-19T18:26:58.049-05:002012-02-19T18:26:58.049-05:00It is really incredible how fast a “nobody” can be...It is really incredible how fast a “nobody” can become a “somebody” so quickly due to just posting a video. It is pretty funny if you compare Justin Bieber’s career with Rebecca Black’s. Only thing it take is one video to be posted and it could take you off on a road you never knew. In the professional business video can be very useful. While words can take you very far, images can take you even further. It is one thing to write words about a gourmet restaurant it is another to show you it in video. With how fast technology has been rising recently it is not going to be long before 3D videos are going to be the normality for the video world.Adam Gottdienerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703715771220405121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1416908237131288078.post-23228175831199684072012-02-18T23:15:11.793-05:002012-02-18T23:15:11.793-05:00As a potential customer, I flavor those hotels or ...As a potential customer, I flavor those hotels or restaurants that provide video clips of the property. Through video, I receive more insights about the company such as room, facility, overall space and atmosphere. I often make decision base on video because I know what to expect. The beauty of video is customers get to know you better. They have a stronger attach to the brand. Through social media, video can be spread out easily and fast. If the video is good, it stays in people’s mind longer. However, properties can be changed, so you have to make sure the video is updated. Customers will be disappointed if they find out they saw a false video. A bad video stays in people’s mind more than ten good video. I think the biggest challenge that the hospitality industry face is how to stay current with the video and how to use video effectively to promote the brand.Ying-Tsen (Sandy) Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857154381700623532noreply@blogger.com
