Gold Coast video production and online marketing services company, Soul Arch Media and Marketing, is initiating a service across South East Queensland and Northern NSW to provide tourism and holiday booking vendors and hoteliers with quality flash property video tours and online content at affordable prices.

With more and more holidaymakers turning to the Internet to research and book a place to stay while they?re away, online marketing for holiday accommodation plays a crucial role in securing bookings.

Google’s Australian travel and tourism statistics reveal that 95% of people holidaying in Australia use the Internet to research their holiday and globally, a quarter of all travel bookings were made online. With this many potential clients going online to find their accommodation, the challenge for may tourism operators is trying to reach customers through online channels and stand out from the crowd without blowing their marketing budget. One emerging solution is online tourism video tours. “Online video creates instant visual appeal just like a TV ad. It?s more engaging than a stagnant virtual photo tour, and allows customers to take a guided tour of hotel and resort facilities online, giving them far greater confidence to book,” said Carolyn Ridings Emge, Marketing Manager at Soul Arch Media and Marketing.

Soul Arch Media and Marketing professionally film each property video tour on-location and format it for online viewing. It is then added to each client’s website, online listings or social media pages, and used to promote extensively online, driving traffic to the client’s site while helping to convert more bookings. Unlike a print ad, clients only pay for the online video tour production once, then it keeps on paying for itself. Online video allows tourism operators to grab the attention of customers while they are looking for the services they offer.

Popular tourist spots such as Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Tweed Coast, Byron Bay and Ballina are covered in the initial product rollout, with other areas Australia-wide and world-wide available on request. To view a range of recent video examples, visit http://www.soularchmedia.com
