Media Production for a Growing Yurt Business
Scotland Lodge Farm, offering holiday yurts near Stonehenge, sought high-quality photos and videos to promote their accommodations. Our task was to capture the essence of their yurts and enhance their online presence to increase inquiries.
Scotland Lodge FarmBeing Seen in a Highly Competitive Market
The challenge was to create visual content that showcased the unique appeal of Scotland Lodge Farm’s yurts and set them apart from other holiday accommodations in the area.
Lack of Professional Media Assets
Up until this project, Scotland Lodge Farm did not have professionally captured photography or videography. This made it difficult for prospective visitors to get a clear idea of what to expect when they arrived.
Competitive Market
Competing against other holiday accommodations with better visual representation was challenging. The lack of quality media assets meant they were not able to effectively showcase the quality of their services.
Visual Appeal
They needed to highlight the unique aspects and benefits of staying in their yurts, such as the scenic location, cozy interiors, and additional amenities like hot tubs.
Capturing High-Quality Photos and Videos to Enhance Promotion
We provided professional photography and videography services, capturing the scenic beauty and unique features of the yurts at different times of day. This included shots of the interiors, exteriors, and surrounding landscapes to create a comprehensive visual representation.
Comprehensive Media Capture
Provided both photography and videography, featuring models to showcase the experience of staying at the yurts. Captured a variety of shots at different times of the day, including morning, afternoon, and evening.
Versatile Shots
Included both people-focused and empty-yurt shots to future-proof the media library. This allowed Scotland Lodge Farm to use the assets in various contexts.
High-Quality Production
Produced high-quality visuals and transitions that set Scotland Lodge Farm apart from their competitors. This included shots of families enjoying the amenities, such as gathering around the fire and using the hot tub.
Increasing Inquiries and Strengthening Social Media Presence
The high-quality visual content led to a significant increase in inquiries and improved their social media presence, attracting more visitors and boosting bookings.
Increased Inquiries
The new media assets led to a 57% increase in inquiries through the holiday lettings website within two months. The professional visuals helped attract more attention and interest.
Enhanced Social Media Presence
The media library allowed Scotland Lodge Farm to consistently promote their services across all social media domains. The high-quality visuals improved their online presence and engagement.
Improved Ratings
The enhanced visual representation contributed to higher ratings on letting websites, improving their competitiveness and appeal to potential visitors.
