"Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined"

Video's the obvious choice when it comes to promotion - social media loves good video. You can use it to promote your events, a new product or service, the work of your charity or a new way of doing things. Video brings it to life with the full mystical powers of speech, music and picture.
Marketing through film? You really can!
What is a marketing video?
The aim of a marketing video is to sell and promote you, your team and/or your business.
Your film should capture what problems you solve or how you can make the viewer’s life better.
Your unique qualities
Then we have “the wonder of you”. Your film must highlight your unique qualities – why should the viewer buy from you?
Presume little, show a lot. They’ll be keen to get you know you better before they buy. Let them know about you or your company, what do you do and why do you do it?
Hook them in.
Before you let the cameras roll, think about the ‘hook’, how are you going to grab their attention and keep them watching?

Short Attention Spans
People have short attention spans and they are getting shorter…(still with me?). Videos say a lot in a short space of time.
Let me put the attention span thing another way… “One minute of video is worth 1.8 million words” (Forrester Research)
and “Almost 79% of people say they would rather watch a video than read text” (Wyzowl).
Let’s face it, people prefer watching to reading.
Your customers buy after watching
Your competition are making films and promoting their businesses through film. You mustn’t get left behind or you will learn to say “Arrrrghhh!” on a regular basis.
So here’s the rub: “84% of consumers have bought a product or service after watching a video” (Wyzowl).
Making it Count
Your Audience
First, who are making it for? It’s certainly not you; it’s for your target audience (there may be more than one audience, but we will sort that, promise).
Where will your audience see your video?
The web has opened up a world of opportunity. For instance, you may need a longer version for your website and shorts for social media.
What are you going to say?
Content, that’s the meaty bit. You can sit down with us and we can help tease out the themes and offer stunning ideas. Preparation is crucial; don’t underestimate its value. Get this right and the whole project is far more efficient.
Have a good opening
The opening is win or lose, grab the viewers early or they will go wandering off. Be brave, make it interesting, make it engaging. Welcome the viewer to get in touch, we all need a little encouragement
