Video productions are very important for hotel marketing, especially in Punta Cana. Professional hotel videos and photos give a particular point once a client enters a hotel's website. The "sale" begins here. From then on, it is up to the hotel website look and feels to keep the client there. Words, fonts, logos, and physical aspects of the website all decide if a client stays or leaves this space. Here is where compelling hotel video production does the difference.
Here are a few hotel video productions tips simplified:
1 - The hotel video quality depends mostly on the budget. Lights, crew, talents, video equipment, etc., all depend on the hotel's budget. If you want big results, you know you have to spend big. If the hotel does not have the budget but needs the video, it is a good idea to partner with other suppliers such as architects, interior designers, decorators, real estate, and construction companies that are or were part of the original project. All of them need good professional hotel videography and photography.
2- Search, it is searching online for a specific word that you will find it. Instead of "the best Caribbean hotel photography", search for "Dominican Republic hotel photographer", or "Dominican hotel video production" (if searching specifically for hotel video production in the Dominican Republic). With a quick Google search perhaps using incognito or private mode you will see very good results in the few first pages. Be very specific when searching. "Dominican Republic hotel video productions" will give you a very different result if you type "hotel video productions". Why? Well, there are many videographers that shoot for weddings and you are looking for one that does hotels, not weddings. These are 2 very different worlds.
4- Be respectful of prices. By looking into the photographer's or videographer's website, you can fairly make a professional decision. If it is really good, please pay that money. It is worth it. Professional video and photo productions will give you many years of marketing material and it has to be of good quality. Now, if it is not in your budget, state this, and negotiations will start from there. Just like any business, photographers and videographers have to pay taxes if they have a formal company. I suggest using only people that have done the work many times before and have a formal hotel photography and videography company. You can have an educated guess with this by how their website looks, and by how their email is set up when they respond.
