[icon name=”check”] having plenty of photos can dramatically enhance the number of bookings you receive

[icon name=”check”] don’t necessarily try to capture your whole room in a single photo, several nice photos that focus on a small areas can oftentimes be better; for example a photo of a nightstand and just a small part of the bed and pillow linens can convey a lot of information (the photos to the right or below, depending upon which type of device you’re on, illustrate this concept)

[icon name=”check”] your hotel or B&B website photos/images should be as large and the highest resolution as you can provide to us, we’ll optimize them for you depending upon where on the site they are being displayed

[icon name=”check”] for featured areas of your site such as the homepage, use the best photos of your best exterior shots plus room(s), views and whatever else you think deserves a “frontpage” display

[icon name=”check”] be sure to capture the the style and feel of your property with some of your most prominent images

[icon name=”check”] experiment with different lighting, angles and focus area; it’s not as if taking tons of photos with a digital camera is going to cost you anything, you never know which of those many photos might just capture something you didn’t even see through the lens

[icon name=”check”] you should supply photos that highlight unique and desirable aspects of your hotel, motel and B&B such as the views, the architecture, the breakfasts, the rooms, etc.

[icon name=”check”] the more you tell your story with images, the less people have to read

[icon name=”check”] for exterior photos, you may wish to experiment with bright sunshiny day photography as well as images taken at dusk

[icon name=”check”] try to spice up your photos with colorful items such as orange juice, a glass of wine, a fruit tray, etc

[icon name=”check”] make sure your room hotel, motel and B&B room photos look exactly like you want your guests to see them in person: no out of place furniture, laundry or other unattractive items and appropriate lighting

[icon name=”check”] if you have any “not so great”  B&B rooms, you may wish to omit any images of them from the site other than on the pages (if any) that are dedicated to those specific room(s)
