Frequently Asked Questions

We have an OTA presence already. Why do we need social media?+
OTAs get you visibility but at a cost—typically 15–25% commission per booking. Social media gives you a direct channel to build guest relationships, retarget past guests, and drive bookings without paying a cut. Hotels that invest in social direct booking strategies consistently reduce OTA dependency and improve margin.
What types of Instagram content work best for hotels?+
In order of performance: guest experience Reels and Stories, room reveals and renovation content, local area guides, staff and personality content, and seasonal package announcements. Professional photography is important but authenticity matters more—our UGC programme builds a constant supply of both.
How do we get guests to create and share content about us?+
We build what we call 'Instagram moments'—designated photogenic spots in your property with lighting and framing guidance. Combined with subtle in-room prompts, a clear hashtag, and a post-stay email that asks for a tag, most properties see organic UGC volume increase by 200–400% within three months.
Can social media help during our off-season when bookings are low?+
Off-season is actually your best content investment period. We use low-occupancy months to build content volume, promote shoulder-season packages with 'locals love it in autumn' messaging, and run lead generation campaigns for early next-season bookings. Properties that plan this correctly turn what was dead space into 30–40% occupancy improvement.
