4 benefits of social media for hotels and ryokan

  1. 01

    Get discovered outside the booking sites

    Vertical videos reach people who have never heard of you through recommendation feeds, and send them straight to your official site.

  2. 02

    Track the path from video to booking

    Tie profile visits and link clicks to tracking on your site, and you can see which video drove bookings.

  3. 03

    Show the job before people apply

    A job ad can't show housekeeping or front desk work, but videos from the staff's point of view show the work itself.

  4. 04

    Keep posting without the manager filming

    Hand off planning, filming, editing and posting, and you can keep a steady pace even in peak season.

Four reasons hotels and ryokan choose TripClear for social media

  1. 3.8×

    More saves, more branded search, longer viewing

    POV episodes pack scenes guests never see, like room cleaning and breakfast prep, into shots of 1 to 2 seconds. POV Studio

  2. Fully handled

    One-stop management

    TikTok for discovery, Instagram for consideration, your official site for the booking, with direct bookings reported every month.

  3. Japan's first

    A professional POV team

    One camera operator from an official Insta360 partner follows the guest's route and captures 12 videos' worth in two hours. POV Studio

  4. 10M+views/month

    An organic track record that speaks for itself

    For your property too, we check drop-off and completion rate on every video, and carry the angles that work into the next plan.

Creative that moves people

Now that social media has become the main battleground for business, what it takes is strategy and memorable content, together. Delivering both is what TripClear does best.

By focusing on the experience people get through a product or service, and on the process of how things are actually made, we turn that content into brand recall, sales, and hiring.

Process

From account design to posting and analysis: how it actually runs at a hotel or ryokan

Design, concept, filming, editing, posting and analysis, all from one partner and shaped to how the property runs

  1. 1Inquiry and quote

    We learn where your account stands and what you want from it, then quote based on shooting frequency and content plans.

  2. 2Account strategy

    It starts with which rooms, when, and filled by whom.

  3. 3Concept (script and storyboard)

    What guests never normally see gets mapped out first.

  4. 4Filming

    The material collects from a camera added to the normal working day.

  5. 5Editing

    Editing tightens it to a pace people watch to the end.

  6. 6Posting and analysis

    We put into words why something grew, and why something didn't.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked by hotels and ryokan

Do our staff need to appear on camera?

No faces needed. POV filming holds the camera at eye level and shows the hands, and it works without anyone playing a part. Where people do appear, the purpose and the platforms are agreed in writing. There is a fuller explanation on POV video for hotels and ryokan.

How is pricing decided?

Social media management and POV video production come as a single plan, from JPY 300,000 a month. Pricing moves with the number of videos and the ideas behind them, so we quote individually once we know how often you want to film and what the concepts are. Secondary use is allowed, and recommendations for linking with ads are included. There is no charge for filming equipment (as an official Insta360 partner, we lend it). If ads are run, media spend is charged separately at cost.

Can we hire you for Instagram management or TikTok management?

Our SNS account management is built around Instagram management and TikTok management. We handle the whole package, from concept and profile planning through ideas, filming and editing for Reels and vertical videos, to posting and reporting.

Which company runs this service?

TripClear Inc., based in Shinsen-cho, Shibuya, Tokyo. Our core is social media management and vertical short-form video production, and we support hotels and ryokan. For the company profile, see Company.

Can you keep the volume up through the busy season?

The volume holds. Filming is one or two batch shoots a month, and two hours gives twelve videos' worth. It gets spread across one or two months of posting, so a month without a shoot doesn't stop the posts.

Our rooms are full through the OTAs. Is there any point in managed social media?

There is. Filling the rooms and keeping the margin are two different things. Keep the OTAs as a channel, and every one of those rooms sold through your own site instead is revenue with no commission taken out.

How do we confirm bookings grew, rather than views?

The first things we touch are the measurement tags on the official site and booking engine, and the rate plan pages. After that we report profile visits, booking page arrivals and direct bookings monthly.

We already run an account ourselves. Can you take it over?

We take existing accounts over as they are. Followers and past posts stay; the profile, pinned posts and content formats get rebuilt. If you want to bring it back in-house later, we're happy to discuss that too.

How long until we see results?

It depends on the property and the platform, but in our experience the format that grows starts to show at around three months. We share the early numbers per post from month one, and report the working format and the next moves in month three.

Do you have case studies or a track record with hotels and ryokan?

Yes. The results section on this page introduces our work with hotels and ryokan. Our track record across other industries is collected in Works.
