Show Me the Numbers

Every hotel marketer knows video works emotionally. But CFOs, owners, and GMs want numbers. They want ROI. So what’s the true return on investment for adding video to your hotel website?

Why ROI on Video Is Hard to Measure (Traditionally)

  • Social media videos drive awareness but rarely track back to bookings.
  • Embeds on your website look nice but don’t show conversions.
  • Without data, video feels like a cost center, not a revenue driver.

That’s why Hovr built ROI tracking directly into interactive video overlays.

Measuring ROI With Hovr

Hotels see ROI because Hovr tracks:

  • CTR: How many visitors click into booking flows.
  • Engagement rate: How many interact with video.
  • Influenced revenue: Bookings that happen after video interactions.
