Commercial Hotel & Tourism Photographer Ruth Lawton

Good quality photography plays a very important role in online booking conversions.

It is said that a great picture is worth a thousand words and there should be not any confusion between a cool Instagram pic and a professionally taken photograph that shows the space in its best light, with a well crafted and informative composition. The right angles, the correct colours, the balanced exposure and finally but not ultimately the use of professionally grade wide angle lenses combined with full frame cameras, sturdy tripods and fill in flash can just not be rivalled by the most updated smartphone or the latest consumer grade camera.

Potential customers base much of their decision on the photography your website presents and most likely the first thing people will see when they enter your site and first impressions count! So why not showcase the excellence of your accommodation through professional visuals that will inspire your potential customers to  CLICK & BOOK.

 

Make Your Accommodation Bookings Happen

In most cases you only have a short amount of time to “make the sale” online and usually the traffic that comes to your website are people who have never been to your property before and have no understanding of how it looks, these people are going to decide whether or not to book with you based on the quality of the photos that they see on your site.

Photos show people what to expect. It’s also important to see the hotel or resort’s exterior, its lobby, guest rooms, and other amenities. The potential guest needs to be reassured that their hard earned dollar will get them what they’re looking for and encourage them to book your accommodation with confidence.

The Importance Of Your Accommodation Photography

How do people decide which hotel or resort to stay in? The decision can be a crucial one for the duration of their trip away from home.  People go online, search, and look at the photos to gauge how comfortable or appealing their stay will be. If the photos are well-lit, sharp, and visually appealing, they’ll be more inclined to book their reservation than if they see mediocre photos.  A balance of impact and information is crucial.

Our society is increasingly visual. People base their opinions of where to spend their travel dollar almost exclusively on how the property is presented visually on the internet and in marketing materials.  Aside from online reviews, photography is the mitigating factor as to whether those dollars will be spent with you, or move along to the competition.

Photos of hotels and resorts provide a person with their first impression of the place. In addition, photos show people what to expect. It’s important to see the hotel or resort’s exterior, its lobby, guest rooms, and other amenities. The potential guest needs to be reassured that their hard earned dollar will get them what they’re looking for.

When a person visits a website to investigate a hotel or resort, they need to feel like they’re there.  In an era where competition for guests is at an all-time high, the hotel with the best pictures gets the most guests, and in turn, the most revenue.

Internet speeds are getting faster, screen sizes keep getting larger and online video is looking better than ever. Videos demand more consumer attention than any other medium, but it is also incredibly easy to consume. With so much content available, capturing attention has become the key, and visual content is the key to great engagement. Video marketing can capture a wide audience, and it works on many levels.

If hoteliers are looking to increase engagement and traffic to their websites, then video must be a part of the marketing plan. Video is the most sought-after form of content on the internet. Most of the people on the internet are viewing videos and in a few years, the majority of content online will be video.
