Your Future Guests Want Clarity – A Marketing Video Provides It
Video marketing is a must-have for businesses in the hospitality industry—especially hotel businesses, who must showcase their amazing amenities, dashing décor, and luscious location to truly wow future customers.
Today, vacationers want to know exactly what they can expect upon arrival—and hotel video marketing is the best way to satisfy that curiosity.
For hotels in the hottest vacation destinations—spots like Miami, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Naples—video marketing to your target audience is especially crucial.
Your competition is fierce—you need to really catch the eye and ear of a customer to reel them in. Video’s ability to engage customers makes it among the very top hotel marketing ideas and a key part of your hotel marketing strategy.

Here’s a closer look at the process we at Zip In Media follow to make a video that fits perfectly into your hotel marketing strategy.
Our Production Process
Pre-Production
The starting point for most videos is a script, a basic outline of the scenes, and narration of the video. You can write this script yourself, or we can provide a script based on your direction.
Some videos, such as testimonial videos, only require a list of interview questions. Whatever type of video you need, our team can help you through the planning process.
Production
With the schedule and shot list prepared, everything is set for a successful production. Our team will arrive with all of the equipment and people needed to get great footage for your project.
A video shoot can be a little intimidating, especially if you have never been part of one. We have experience in producing large and small, so you can be confident that everything will go smoothly.
Post-Production
Once we have all of the footage and other media for your video, we will start editing the piece. This process usually takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the length of the video and the level of animation needed.
We will send you three versions of the video to review: a rough cut, a fine cut, and a final cut. You will have an opportunity to provide feedback at every stage of the process.
After we complete the revisions, we will deliver the final video in any format you need.
