““Our data shows that hotels globally are achieving 1.8 times more, on average, for accommodation booked via their own direct website than via OTAs and other third-party channels. While we can’t forget the reach these third-party sites provide to hotels, it’s important to note that direct bookings are not only achieving higher value overall but there is no commission payable on them so they are very much more profitable,” says Mr Ford.” of SiteMinder

Shift to video: Pinterest Starts Selling Video Advertising, Seeking to Catch Up – Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-17/pinterest-starts-selling-video-advertising-seeking-to-catch-up
“Pinterest’s site and app let people browse and save inspirational images of things they want to buy, make or do in the future. The company tracks a person’s activity to create personalized feeds of photos they think will appeal to that user. Within those feeds, more video has started to pop up — with YouTube now the top source of pinned items and video use up 60 percent from a year ago, Pinterest said. The company is also working on a tool to let people post and view original video on Pinterest. The new video ads will be interspersed with those personalized feeds, catering to the interests of whoever is browsing. If clicked, the ads will start to play with sound. The advertiser can choose to show as many as six related “pins” of items to pair with the ad. For example, if the ad shows video of a fashion model, the pins might be of items the user can buy to get the look. “Our video ads are going to be tailored to your interests,””We’ve added in additional features that allow the user to take action.” U.S. digital video-ad spending will reach $9.9 billion this year, and is set to almost triple by 2020, according to research firm EMarketer. Pinterest, which has more than 100 million users, was last valued at $11 billion in a funding round in March 2015
