If you’re looking to spice up your property’s online presence, you’ve come to the right place. Short-form videos are not just a trend; they’re a powerful way to draw in potential guests and give them a real taste of what staying with you is like. Wondering how to get started and really make these quick clips work for your property? Dive in as we explore the perks and strategies of using short-form videos.

Capture Interest in a Snap

In the fast-paced world of social media, short-form videos are your best bet for catching the eye of potential guests scrolling through their feeds. Platforms like Facebook / Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts are perfect for showcasing the best bits of your property in just seconds. 

Picture this: a quick clip that sweeps through a sunlit room, a panoramic view from the balcony, or the inviting waters of your pool. These snapshots can make viewers feel like they’re already there, giving them a sense of what they can expect during their stay.

Keep It Real and Relatable

People crave genuine experiences, especially when they travel. Let your property’s unique character shine through in your videos. Is there a cozy corner where guests love to read? A buzzing cocktail hour they shouldn’t miss? Show off these moments in your clips. By focusing on what makes your property special, you not only attract attention but also build an emotional connection with potential guests, which is often what pulls them in the door.

Film With Ease Using Your Phone

Believe it or not, your smartphone is all you need to start creating compelling video content. Most modern smartphones can shoot in high definition, or even 4K, so you could capture your property’s charm without any fancy equipment. A simple video shot on your phone can act like a virtual tour that makes potential guests feel familiar with your space before they even arrive. And if you’re not confident in your filming skills, consider enlisting a friend or hiring a professional to capture your property’s best angles.
