Is video production something your business should be thinking about?
For many businesses, videos can be a powerful tool. They can help explain your products or services, articulate what your brand is about, and grow your audience. You’re not likely to have the resources to produce a professional quality video in-house, but a specialist video production company will be able to offer something tailored to your budget.
Few businesses can get away without having a website nowadays, and most will have some for of social media presence as well. But there is a risk that this is all a waste of time if your business doesn’t offer any content that will genuinely interest your audience.
On the web, people like rich media – audio, photos and videos can rarely replace well written content, but when used to augment it, the results can be impressive. If you’re producing a video for the web, think about what aspect of your company you want to showcase, but also think about what your audience will find interesting or entertaining to watch, and what they are likely to want to share with their network. If you want your video to go ‘viral’, keep it short. Being funny usually helps, but the main thing is to communicate something in a clear and engaging way. Depending on how ambitious you’re feeling, this could be something you could do internally, but if you want it to look professional, it may be best to leave it to the pros.
If you’ve got the budget for it, TV advertising can give a massive boost to your brand. It doesn’t come with any guarantees, however, so this is only something you should enter into if you’re confident in the idea and the ability of the producers to deliver results you’ll be happy with. A video production company might have a better idea than the one your team came up with, so be open to suggestions – they have experience working in this format, so take advantage of their know-how.
There are many situations where all a business needs to do is invest in a decent semi-professional HD camera and a tripod and some basic video editing training. They can then record client testimonials, basic product overviews etc. If you want to do anything more ambitious, however, it’s best to leave it to the pros.
