Three Critical Videos Every Business Must Have – A Tech With Heart Episode with Michelle Calloway
Consumer reports show that buying decisions are often made after the customer has had a chance to research and experience a brand or business.
One of the most effective ways to provide an online experience with potential customers is through video storytelling.
Business owners have stories that will compel potential customers to want to invest in their product or service, however, an alarming number of small businesses and nonprofits are not utilizing video as a connective tool online.
The reasons for their lack of video content vary by company, however, the reasons I hear most often are as follows:
- They don’t know how to create video
- They are incredibly uncomfortable getting on camera
- They don’t know what to say
- They cannot afford a professional video production
“THE TRUTH IS…
Business owners cannot afford NOT to use video to connect with online customers.”
Stories Sell!
Videos allow that story to be seen and heard 24/7 across the globe.
Watch this Tech With Heart episode with Media Technology Strategist, Michelle Calloway, as she discusses the three critical videos that every business must have
There are three critical videos that every business and nonprofit must have:
- Welcome or Intro video – the problem you solve, how you uniquely solve it, and your credibility or purpose (your why)
- Explainer video – visually demonstrate your product or service while focusing on the value proposition
- Testimonial video – build up authority and credibility by getting a client or referral partner to elevate you through video testimonial (who do you want to attract?)
When it comes to producing a video, there are various choices on how to tell the story:
- Montage videos – use images or stock photos, video clips, text on screen, voiceover, and music to set the mood. Completed video ranges from 15 sec to 60 seconds.
- Full Motion videos – video crew films on location – capture interviews or testimonials – can include drone footage. Completed video ranges from 15 sec to 3 minutes in length.
- Character animation – cartoon characters help visually tell the story along with text on screen and voiceover. Completed video ranges from 15 sec to 60 seconds.
- Whiteboard animation – scenes are drawn out as the story is told using 2-dimensional sketches that help visually tell the story along with the voiceover. Completed video ranges from 15 sec to 60 seconds.
All videos need to be short, concise and have a goal. People’s attention spans are short. Knowing the goal of the video, ie to raise awareness, increase opt-ins, etc., will direct the script, and the visual elements used to tell the story.
