Setting up B2B Media Barter with a hotel partner

Trade a monthly pack of editorial photos for a rent discount from partner hotels. Zero new production cost — just a delivery process.

The deal

You already have photographers on site. Once a month, short-list your best 30 editorial-quality shots (with signed release forms) and let the hotel marketing team pick 10. In exchange, they discount your monthly rent by 10 to 15 percent.

Setting up a partner

Go to **Admin > B2B Barter**.
Click **Record Delivery** and enter the hotel location ID, the month (YYYY-MM), and 10 photo IDs.

What to deliver

- Horizontal and vertical crops of each photo. - Color correction and light retouching. - Guest release forms attached (generated from the gallery checkout). - License grant: perpetual marketing use by the property, not resellable.

Typical ROI

- 10 photos × €50 to €80 each = €500 to €800 of market-rate content. - Discount on €5,000 monthly rent at 12 percent = €600/month saved. - Both sides come out ahead.

FAQ

Q: Who signs release forms?

Every guest who appears in a deliverable must have signed the release at checkout. The gallery store automatically collects this.

Q: Can one photographer shoot dedicated editorial sessions?

Yes, but most properties are happy with what's captured during normal guest-facing work. Adds zero marginal cost.
