Digital Brand Overhaul for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels & Resorts
London, UK – PhotoWeb the best-in-class hotel photography, video production & syndication company has overhauled the digital brand imagery for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels and Resorts in Asia and North America. The project has significantly enhanced all the hotel pages across two important continents, giving travellers around the world the best first impression and accurate depiction of its hotel and facilities by using virtual tours, video and high quality still images by PhotoWeb.
Millennium & Copthorne Hotels and Resorts operates high quality branded hotels in diverse locations, with a particular focus on significant gateway cities and Asian emerging markets. Its challenge, as with many hotel company websites, is to portray a consistent brand image, which reflects the hotel, its facilities and the anticipated customer experience to take site lookers to room bookers. And with occupancy rates at hotels in China reducing and hotel outlets expanding, the pressure of filling rooms continues to remain a high priority in Asia and other emerging markets.
"We continuously seek new ways to convert visitors to our websites into paying guests. PhotoWeb's imagery is incredibly persuasive, as it gives visitors a realistic and rich perspective of what it would be like to stay at our hotels, making the hotel selection a simpler one," said Samantha Loh, Director, Global E-Commerce for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels and Resorts.
In addition to the websites, Millennium & Copthorne's images and video are also syndicated to over 30,000 travel and hotel booking websites including Expedia, Kayak, Priceline, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Wotif and StarCite. "One of the reasons for partnering with PhotoWeb was the breadth of their web content syndication service. Our images are working day and night to attract bookings and enquiries from potential guests, meeting & wedding planners and events organizers from around the world. While the websites are crucial, so are the 3rd party sites. We need our content on all these sites."
PhotoWeb CEO, Andrew Meli says, "We are proud of the imagery we have developed for Millennium & Copthorne Hotels and Resorts. They have fantastic hotels and with their new website and our images and videos, they are well positioned to capitalize on the emerging market opportunities and gain a significant return on their investment."
