It's the question businesses should be asking. Is it time to care about a promo video? I'm a firm believer in the power of video. It's a powerful tool to get your message heard, your products seen and the problems your business solves.
Let's take a look at three things a promo video does very well.
One: A promo video gives you a chance to make your message clear both verbally and visually. A promo video helps you focus in on what you offer and the problems you or your products solve. It adds huge value to all your hard work. To provides you with a platform to showcase people you have impacted by your products and services. That's in itself rewarding.
Two: Words are lonely without the faces that form them. People notice when your eyes light up and they experience the twinkle in your eyes. Those moments can't be replaced with a billboard on the highway. When we see and hear others who are satisfied clients it moves us to become clients.
Three: It is more than one tool. You can pull still images that reflect moments in the promo video for social media. These stills as well as short video moments provide great conversion tools on your web page and help to convert clients. A single video becomes a tool box and a building block for the future. I have clients that are motivated by listening to the stories. I get get molved as well as I create these videos together with them.
