What is the usual pattern your guests follow when they arrive at your hotel? It probably goes something like this: check in, go to room, unpack, nap, then head downstairs to check out the bar and restaurant. ?????? Are the images on your website and social media reflecting the experience they’re going to have? That means as well as the usual room photography you need to add details - so-called hero images to show them what each stage of that pattern looks like. ???? Things like soft or firm pillows, rainfall showers, complimentary items, set dinner tables and a well stocked bar. ???????? Lots of these features won't be visible in your wide room images so get in close to capture the details they'll love and let them live that journey online before they arrive!

'The only constant is change' - Heraclitus If you are the manager of a 4 or 5 star hotel then you know that with the passage of time some of your spaces can start to look a little tired. ?? At some point the time will come for a cosmetic refresh or perhaps a complete revamp. Whatever the extent of the redecoration, you will need to let existing and new customers know about the changes. ?? A popular tactic is to invite a select set of clientele to "a come and see the new rooms" wine and nibbles party. ?? And the absolute best way to tempt them in is to show the new décor at its best by having the images professionally shot. A pro photographer will compose the pictures to fit the format of your preferred medium, be that social media, website, or both. ???? If your hotel now looks even better than ever, then it's time to tell the world and show it off with quality content!

What's the first thing guests see of your hotel? ?? Is it the beautiful wooden door with brass knocker, or the geometric tiled floor in reception, or perhaps the Edwardian coving on your ceilings? Features of which you're justly proud. ?? But wait. Is that REALLY their first sight? Rewind to a few weeks or months ago when your guests were looking for a place to stay and saw these features on your website or social media. ?? It was those digital representations of your spaces that convinced them to book in the first place! ?? Studies have found that there is a 15% increase in conversion rates when hotels use high-quality images, compared to when they use low quality or minimal photos on their website. So if your photos aren't doing the spaces justice, you could be losing bookings. ?? Investing in professional photography will ensure that more people are wowed by the look of your establishment and are therefore more likely to book a stay. Then it's over to you. Make them welcome and take care of them during their stay and chances are you'll see them again…and again! ?? Think that your spaces would benefit from professional photography? Then let’s chat.

Can you hear footsteps? That’s the competition overtaking you. ????♀??? If you are using generic images to represent your hospitality brand you could be doing more harm than good. It’s tempting to use stock images of beautiful models seemingly enjoying your facilities, but here's the thing. They still look like stock photos and the kind of guests that you want to attract will spot these from miles away. ?? Like artist's impressions of new town centre developments, they won't necessarily connect with clients or customers and might even instil a certain cynicism. Hospitality companies in the know are aware of how easy it is to tell a story with bespoke images; how powerfully those images will resonate with their clients; and how much ROI they will provide. ?? Why not wow your guests with a stunning introduction to your spaces? Set out your stall from the get-go and show arriving guests the kind of individual and special stay that awaits them. Your products and services are your brand. Do you really want to show them off with a bland ‘set price’ menu or do you want to give your guests the ‘a la carte’ experience? ???

Transforming visions into reality is my passion. Recently, I had the privilege of managing a beautiful summer wedding with a classic, elegant theme. From the initial consultation to the final debrief, I ensured every detail was flawlessly executed. After understanding my clients' vision, I meticulously developed a comprehensive project plan, timeline, and budget to keep everything on track. I then secured a charming garden venue and curated a team of top-tier vendors, including a reputable caterer, candid photographer, skilled florist, and talented band. Effective communication and meticulous planning were paramount. We finalized menus, coordinated floral deliveries, reviewed the shot list, organized guest transportation, and confirmed all details with vendors. On the big day, I was on-site early to oversee the setup. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and the reception transitions were smooth. I promptly handled minor issues, like unexpected guests and a brief rain shower, ensuring the celebration remained uninterrupted. Post-event, I managed the cleanup and received glowing feedback from my clients. This experience underscores the critical role of a project manager in bringing visions to life through detailed planning, clear communication, and agile problem-solving. #ProjectManagement #EventPlanning #ClientSuccess #Leadership #AttentionToDetail

Wade Bryant, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Americas was recently featured in HotelExecutive sharing his expertise on property photography and the impact it has on a hotel's brand identity. He says, "In an age of increasing technology and social media, there is an uptick in guests booking hotels based on reviews, aesthetic and presented imagery. With this in mind, there needs to be an emphasis on the role that photography and other multimedia tools play in crafting a hotel’s brand identity in addition to increasing booking rates and guest satisfaction."

How did you decide on your style for your hotel? ?? Was it total inspiration based on nothing more than the way the world looked one Autumn afternoon? Or was it researched and calculated and based on the type of customer you wanted to attract? However you came up with the concept, once you’ve turned it into a reality you will have realised that your particular look is appealing to a certain type of guest. You’ve found your particular market and they love you! ?? Now it's a good idea to connect with those fans on their preferred social media with news, updates and special offers. ?? So far, so good but now you face the problem of having images to accompany these posts. ?? You could of course shoot some images on your phone and if that’s the type of clientele that you’re aiming at then that’s OK. But for those establishments with more discerning visitors who appreciate quality, then only professional hospitality photography will do. ?? It’s easy enough to achieve. Have a discussion with the hotel photographer of your choice and arrange a day’s shoot where you can capture a whole range of images encapsulating your services from food and drink to bedrooms and outdoor spaces. ?????
