Weekly Tip: Start Incorporating Video into your Content

 

63% of leisure and business travelers use travel videos of all forms when looking for activities to do in a particular destination. If you're not using video. You are missing out on valuable customers!

 

Feeling intimidated by video? Keep in mind - we all start somewhere and it takes practice. Start by simply posting a pan of your business or yourself talking to camera about a new service.
