German travellers book early and check a lot. Together that means your video has to remove doubts, not create desire. The desire already exists, otherwise nobody would be on the page.

The four doubts that block a booking

  1. The actual location. Not the address, the route: how far on foot to the station, the beach, the centre, and how long it takes.
  2. The real room. Size, street noise, the view from the window, not from the roof terrace.
  3. The surroundings in the evening. An open restaurant, a supermarket, parking.
  4. The final price. What is included, what costs extra, tourist tax, cleaning fee.

What German properties get wrong

They buy drone footage. It confirms a wish, it answers no question. The first video to buy is the walk from the station to the door, uncut, with the time stated.

When to run it

Summer travel is booked in Germany from January, peaking between February and April. City breaks book shorter, often four to six weeks ahead. Summer holidays are staggered by federal state, so demand migrates across six weeks: a single campaign week never reaches the whole country.

The format that converts

The stay in the first person, from arrival to breakfast, in eighty seconds. People book when they can see themselves there, and that needs sequence, not the prettiest images.

What to buy

One route video, one room video, one surroundings video, two hook variants. For an international audience, three creators in different languages.
