Personally, I like most of the videos I've seen on innvideos.tv more so that these from bedandbreakfast.com. These seem to be more "sales" focused and too short. The ones from Inn videos are warmer and more personable. I think our guests would respond better to something like that.
 
Says the salesperson for innvideos.tv.
Hi, this is Chris the Innkeeper and co-owner of InnVideos.tv. Video is certainly on the minds of many and this includes innkeepers. The video that innkeepers post on their website is for the guest not the innkeeper. So regardless of who the inn chooses to produce the video is should bridge this gap between the innkeeper and the guest. Only a small percentage of travelers stay at B & B's and if video can encourage a guest to stay at your inn then that is a very good thing.

It is a good thing only if it is done well. There are too many boring ones out there with the guest or innkeeper with long boring spiels such as the one listed about with some stranger gushing. It goes with the auto dealer using his shrilly-voiced kids on his tv ads. Shudder.
A quiet artistic video showing the inn and things to do in the area, yes. But I for one can do without any talking. Just show me the inn and what I can do in the area.

Those are nice - short and sweet. But if I did it I don't know if I would want any sound. Maybe off-camera explaination of what they are seeing.
Are these the ones that have been advertised for $450? I don't see how they are done for that.

Says the salesperson for innvideos.tv
I'm inclined to agree with your interpretation Little Blue. I appreciate that Chriso operates out in the open as a vendor on this forum, but the arrival of Foxxycat to respond directly on a very specific topic always raises my radar. Perhaps it is only coincidental that Chriso and Foxxycat are only located 34 miles apart. It is possible that a fan of innvideos would reside in the same state they did a lot of their work. ;)
Vendors are reminded to operate in plain view on this forum or risk tar and feathering.

It is up to the innkeeper what type of sound/voice-over/participation that they want to have. I think it is nice to have the innkeeper do the talking, but it is not necessary to appear in the video at all. It also could be an option to have someone else do the voice-over. I'd certainly do music if there is no voice. On any videos we've made for BedandBreakfast.com itself, we don't have myself or Eric speaking - we have Janice do the talking since she has a much nicer voice! Ultimately it is up to each innkeeper.
And yes, these are the videos that we are doing for $499 (not $450 actually). When we started getting into simply posting videos last summer, we realized it was pretty expensive and innkeepers said primarily cost was holding them back from making them. We spent the fall and winter figuring out how we could change the game with a really affordable solution. By putting a lot of BedandBreakfast.com exposure together, we were able to structure a good product and offer with a vendor. We had a lot of motivation - the innkeepers own the videos themselves, and as they make the innkeepers sites more appealing, and their listings more appealing, they make BedandBreakfast.com a better site. So we wanted to find a format and price-point that would appeal to thousands of innkeepers.
Not to take anything away from Innvideos - from what I've seen it looks like a great product and they seem to have some really happy customers. We just wanted to do something we thought would have mass appeal at a price where people would say "I don't see how they are done for that..."

I'm still not sure how it's done for that price - how does the photographer travel to these inns and get the film to do it? We're all over the place. I'm in Virginia and are you not all based out of Texas, I think?

They have a large network of local videographers, so there is generally someone within an hour or two of any property. I believe Innvideos does it the same way utilizing folks across the country, although I'm not certain. Here is an article about Turnhere in CNN that tells a lot about them:

Okay that makes sense! You would for sure have someone here then. This is something that would possibly work for my tours. Would you do it for me if I was to put it on my tour website, not the B&B.com website page? Or could I put it on both?

I'm still not sure how it's done for that price - how does the photographer travel to these inns and get the film to do it? We're all over the place. I'm in Virginia and are you not all based out of Texas, I think?

They have a large network of local videographers, so there is generally someone within an hour or two of any property. I believe Innvideos does it the same way utilizing folks across the country, although I'm not certain. Here is an article about Turnhere in CNN that tells a lot about them:

Okay that makes sense! You would for sure have someone here then. This is something that would possibly work for my tours. Would you do it for me if I was to put it on my tour website, not the B&B.com website page? Or could I put it on both?

You can put it wherever you want, although I'm not sure what you mean for your tours? You can feel free to email me offline to discuss. There are no requirements to post it anywhere or host it anywhere - once you get the video it is yours. Of course most people want it on BB.com, Youtube, etc., and there is no extra charge, but no requirement either.

By putting a lot of BedandBreakfast.com exposure together, we were able to structure a good product and offer with a vendor. We had a lot of motivation - the innkeepers own the videos themselves, and as they make the innkeepers sites more appealing, and their listings more appealing, they make BedandBreakfast.com a better site. So we wanted to find a format and price-point that would appeal to thousands of innkeepers.
Not to take anything away from Innvideos - from what I've seen it looks like a great product and they seem to have some really happy customers. We just wanted to do something we thought would have mass appeal at a price where people would say "I don't see how they are done for that..."

By putting a lot of BedandBreakfast.com exposure together, we were able to structure a good product and offer with a vendor. We had a lot of motivation - the innkeepers own the videos themselves, and as they make the innkeepers sites more appealing, and their listings more appealing, they make BedandBreakfast.com a better site. So we wanted to find a format and price-point that would appeal to thousands of innkeepers.
Not to take anything away from Innvideos - from what I've seen it looks like a great product and they seem to have some really happy customers. We just wanted to do something we thought would have mass appeal at a price where people would say "I don't see how they are done for that..."

I'm still not sure how it's done for that price - how does the photographer travel to these inns and get the film to do it? We're all over the place. I'm in Virginia and are you not all based out of Texas, I think?

They have a large network of local videographers, so there is generally someone within an hour or two of any property. I believe Innvideos does it the same way utilizing folks across the country, although I'm not certain. Here is an article about Turnhere in CNN that tells a lot about them:

Okay that makes sense! You would for sure have someone here then. This is something that would possibly work for my tours. Would you do it for me if I was to put it on my tour website, not the B&B.com website page? Or could I put it on both?

You can put it wherever you want, although I'm not sure what you mean for your tours? You can feel free to email me offline to discuss. There are no requirements to post it anywhere or host it anywhere - once you get the video it is yours. Of course most people want it on BB.com, Youtube, etc., and there is no extra charge, but no requirement either.

We run personalized wine tasting tours which is difficult for some to comprehend as the regular tour is a driver in a limo and the guest tells them where they want to go and that's it. Everything is an additional cost from the tasting fee to the required "driver tip"
Ours are owner driven and we escort them in and through the tasting, serve an elegant cheese plate, pay all expenses and it is quoted in full up front, no suprises.
To do a video that would reflect our tours would entail the photographer to ride along with us to a couple of wineries and film the service rather than just a building.
I don't know if that would entail more cost as I don't know how portable the equipment is.

Are these the ones that have been advertised for $450? I don't see how they are done for that.

It is up to the innkeeper what type of sound/voice-over/participation that they want to have. I think it is nice to have the innkeeper do the talking, but it is not necessary to appear in the video at all. It also could be an option to have someone else do the voice-over. I'd certainly do music if there is no voice. On any videos we've made for BedandBreakfast.com itself, we don't have myself or Eric speaking - we have Janice do the talking since she has a much nicer voice! Ultimately it is up to each innkeeper.
And yes, these are the videos that we are doing for $499 (not $450 actually). When we started getting into simply posting videos last summer, we realized it was pretty expensive and innkeepers said primarily cost was holding them back from making them.

Okay that makes sense! You would for sure have someone here then. This is something that would possibly work for my tours. Would you do it for me if I was to put it on my tour website, not the B&B.com website page? Or could I put it on both?

You can put it wherever you want, although I'm not sure what you mean for your tours? You can feel free to email me offline to discuss. There are no requirements to post it anywhere or host it anywhere - once you get the video it is yours. Of course most people want it on BB.com, Youtube, etc., and there is no extra charge, but no requirement either.

We run personalized wine tasting tours which is difficult for some to comprehend as the regular tour is a driver in a limo and the guest tells them where they want to go and that's it. Everything is an additional cost from the tasting fee to the required "driver tip"
Ours are owner driven and we escort them in and through the tasting, serve an elegant cheese plate, pay all expenses and it is quoted in full up front, no suprises.
To do a video that would reflect our tours would entail the photographer to ride along with us to a couple of wineries and film the service rather than just a building.
I don't know if that would entail more cost as I don't know how portable the equipment is.
I would email you but your signature does not show your email address and my break is over so I gotta go work.

Hi Riki -
Talked to Turnhere, they said they would really need to talk to you directly to scope it out. You can email me directly - [email protected] - and I'll have them get in touch with you next week. Does that work?

Yes that's fine as there is no plans to do it immediately. I'll email you, thank you!

Here is one with ZERO narration just music which just showcases the Bed and Breakfast - and the main attraction - the lake. I am not opposed to this sort at all. A media company produced this.

If I have the option, I don't watch any videos, and when I get on a website with music and birdgs chirping or whatever, I turn the sound off. Just irritates me personally for some reason..

I am sure that for everyone who hates my birds, there's another who loves them ;)
