62% of business travellers said that the quality of the in-room entertainment influences their perception of a hotel*
Research has shown that in-room entertainment is one of the most important factors when guests are selecting their hotel. There has never been a better time to use the biggest Hollywood movies as the lead for a promotion in your hotel in order to generate PR, occupancy and more importantly, increase in-room spend.
Filmbank can work with hoteliers by promoting hit movies and packaging them in a way that is attractive to regular as well as potential guests. Many movies are available in an ‘early window’ period, only 10-12 weeks after cinema and prior to DVD and Pay TV, meaning your hotel has a real marketing advantage.
Hotels with Filmbank content are able to make use of the following tools:
- Trailers
- Film poster artwork
- Film stills
- Potential 3rd party tie-ins (subject to studio approval)
There is an enormous window of opportunity for hotels to promote their entertainment to guests both prior to and during their stay. Consider the following:
Prior to booking
- Banner advertising on hotel websites promoting the latest movies on offer or even streaming trailers.
Following online booking
- Confirmation email including details of which films will be showing during their stay.
On check-in
- Branded room key wallets with the latest big release film showing in their room.
- Reception staff letting guests know exactly what is available to them.
During their stay
- 3rd party promotions
