Even though 2016 is underway, it’s never too late for travel marketers to optimize their budgets to respond to the trends of the times. MDG Advertising has produced a video infographic that displays the top travel marketing budget trends. This insightful video infographic, Travel Marketing Budgets 2016: 5 Must-Watch Trends, highlights the most important trends of the year in the travel industry. Take a look at these highlights, along with the valuable video, to discover where travel marketing budgets are headed throughout 2016.

Pack Greater Investment into Your Website
Did you know that investing in your website is one of the best business decisions a travel brand can make? That’s because the Internet has become the first stop for many people planning travel experiences. While the rise of third-party travel sites has presented travel brands with some competition, the video shows that 67% of travelers believe it’s much simpler to book directly on a travel brand’s website than on a third-party site. In addition, 64% of travelers say it also costs less to book through a travel brand website than on a third-party site.

Mobile Optimize Everything
Mobile has become mainstream today, especially in the lives in of travelers who rely on this technology throughout their travel experience. The video highlights the 49% increase in mobile search for hotels and cruises, as well as the 47% jump in mobile search for car rentals, attractions, and travel tours.

Plan to Welcome More Millennials
Millennials have only recently come of age, but they already represent 40% of leisure travelers who book travel online. And their share of both personal and business travel will increase even more in 2016. But it’s important for marketers to realize that Millennials differ from all other travel markets in many important ways. Understanding these distinctions can ensure proper segment targeting. The video shares some of these significant differences, including how Millennials are more likely to book travel and share their travel experiences on mobile devices and digital platforms. It also shows how many of these young adults also research sharing economy options like Airbnb and HomeAway when planning their trips.

Realize That Travelers Visit Online Review Sites
Online reviews really matter to travelers, with research showing that positive reviews are the second-most important factor in travel decisions. In fact, two-thirds of travelers visit travel review sites like TripAdvisor for trip-planning ideas. And 46% of travelers have been inspired to write an online review about their travel experiences.

Discover Digital Video for Travel
Digital video is very valuable to travelers, especially videos posted on social networks. Consider how Facebook currently sees 8 billion video streams each day and Snapchat earns 6 billion views per day. Travel marketers can leverage the popularity of digital video very easily because the format is ideal for letting travelers virtually experience a hotel property or other aspect of travel.

Video Content Marketing – Tips for Creating Content Your Audience Cares About

http://www.carlkwan.com In this week’s video for Edutige’s video marketing, it’s a test of the Edutige Action Bundle for GoPro to record live jazz. This video happened quite randomly, to be honest. I was out with my family for a picnic down at the seawall and the art studio behind us was hosting a live jazz concert. I usually have my GoPro and microphone handy, so I quickly shot some video about a topic that I know the Edutige and GoPro audience are interested in… recording live music with a GoPro.

Keep your audience in mind

There are always opportunities to create video marketing content, as long as you’re well aware of who your audience is and their needs. It seems very basic, but it’s a mistake I see over and over again when it comes to producing video content.

Keep it short and to the point

Another mistake I often see is making videos that are too long. Cut out fluff by being focused on your audience’s needs. Get to the point and edit without mercy. Cut out anything that doesn’t contribute to your audience’s understanding/knowledge.

Keep a notebook of ideas

I’m always writing down ideas for videos because I’m always coming up with topics I think my audience will like. So I use a Moleskine notebook and jot stuff down. Those notes then go up onto Trello, where I have a content calendar set up so I know what to do next and what I’ve already done.
