It’s definitely a channel that you should use in 2021! Just imagine how people get even more addicted to their phones in 2021! Perhaps after so long time trapped in 4 walls because of the pandemic.

How to make your business instagramable ?

Let’s start by the definition of this adjective by the Cambridge Dictionary:

Instagrammable: Attractive or interesting enough to be suitable for photographing and posting on the social media service Instagram.

The right aesthetics, with few creative focal points, good lighting and attentive service can get your holiday villa or hotel on the ladder to becoming Insta-Famous. The great part of it is, that your guests will promote you, often better than any advertisement that you have carefully targeted.

Find these easy tips to start:

Firstly, be sure all your social media accounts are online, and there’s a possibility to check in at the villa/hôtel.

Then be sure, to have great lighting for the nighttime. And a few recognisable signature photo shoot spaces, if you could have your logo appear in these spaces it’s a plus. And to have the name of your social media accounts on in-house communications.

Amenities! Offer branded bathrobes, and slippers. There’s a reason why it’s standard in luxury hotels.

Make the regular extraordinary. Most people travel to escape the ordinary. Give them an extraordinary experience so they’re inclined to talk about you. Add an outdoor bath maybe? Or create a floral feature in your garden.

Add in a wow factor. If you want to be the talking point, give people something to talk about.

Friends with nature. We all love to travel, but we’re increasingly conscious of the environment. Especially after so much time blocked in four walls during the pandemic. Many escape city pads to find tranquillity amidst nature. Make sure your property respects this growing sentiment and makes nature easily accessible. What could be better that a photo shoot in a lush tropical garden? or with a floral centrepiece?

Don’t forget to talk about it!

Is your villa or hotel located by the beach or somewhere in a tropical Forest with a jaw-dropping view across a whole island? Do you have an infinity pool or a rooftop terrace that shows of a picturesque view of the horizon? If you’ve got a view, a special space, design, or location that’s worth talking about, make sure you talk about it across your social media, especially Instagram.
