Online hotel merchandising is much like retail merchandising. In the same way that interesting retail store displays generate interest in a product and drive sales, hotels that offer visually compelling content on travel websites are more likely to engage online travel shoppers and gain bookings.
VFM Leonardo helps hoteliers enhance their online listings by displaying their visual content, primarily photos, virtual tours and videos, in an easy viewing format on thousands of websites that travel shoppers use to research and book hotels.
As a Sales Consultant, your role will be to generate new business by engaging prospective customers through telephone meetings and web presentations and showing them how our online merchandising system can help them succeed in the competitive online travel market.

VFM Leonardo is a global technology and online media company with the largest visual content distribution network in the travel industry. We enable hotels to better merchandise online by ensuring their photos, virtual tours and videos are available to millions of travel shoppers as they shop for hotel accommodations online.
We needed a video to show the spacious features of our suites in addition to the entire property and VFM Leonardo offered us the package and distribution we were looking to achieve. Video is definitely the way to get your message across and the VBrochure is a great way to get it done.
