Opportunities for Hotel Chains
We have produced 360-images and high resolution still images for over 350 Hilton brand properties for the Hilton brand websites with one single contract.
We have had similar contracts with many other hotel chains and City Tourist & Convention Bureaus but, as of February, 2017 all old contracts are now replaced with our new contract as our new policy is to have one single contract for all our clients and partners.
The new contract for all clients is better than any of our previous Large Volume Contracts in all aspects. The image quality is better, the all inclusive prices are lower, the Terms & Conditions are better and the web hosting services are better.
These improvements are possible due to our own 360CityGuide and 360GolfGuide projects as we can coordinate productions more efficiently.
The new contract is also much easier to use as the hotel chain don't have to do anything at all. No contracts to sign and no project agreement to set up and no administration at all as we take care of everything.
For all hotels with a Expedia ESR partnership we also load our 360-images automatically.
The only thing the hotel chain has to do if they want to use our new prices is to let the hotels know about our services, specify in what file format they want the 360-images and how to send the images to their central marketing office.
The production is not limited to the cities we have productions in today. We can produce everywhere in the world. We will always try to coordinate with other productions. If coordination is not possible we will charge for airfare and increase the number of extra images to minimum total of 20 images.
It is also possible to specify a chain unique quality standard for their "look & feel" if they want something deviating slightly from our own standards.
For our own websites we only publish a very short list of max 20 partners in each category from each city we produce. As soon as we have enough partners in a city we will invest our own money in global marketing of that city. That is the core of our business concept and our premier source of revenue is from booking commissions via Expedia and advertising.
Our focus is on fine design, unique architecture and exciting locations in a city or destination and this is usually max 3-10 % of all partners in a city.
There is no cost to participate on 360CityGuide or 360GolfGuide except for the cost of the production of images and a performance based fees via Expedia. This is a key element in the nomination process as we want small business with focus on fine design and architecture to have an equal opportunity with major brands to participate.
When we start up a city or destination production we will stay there for a very long time. Our photographers will fly in 4 - 6 times per year to each location and they usually stay for a few weeks each time. We produce many properties at each destination and the images can be used on their own website, on Expedia, on the city official website and many other websites. Our images can be used forever and wherever at no extra cost.
