WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A SHOWCASE VIDEO
Here are some things a business video on your website can do for YOU:
* Video can influence your audience far better than text can. * Through video you can convey body language and tone, and break the barrier between you and a potential customer or client, relaying passion for what you do. * A video can help when you’re not there. There’s always a way for a potential customer to learn about your business, even when you’re closed, on vacation, or really busy. * Most people are on smart phones and video works great in that capacity; your video can be watched anywhere, anytime. * A video can help you keep your message consistent, rather than relying on an employee that might not be at their best that day. One bad call could lose a potential customer to your competition. * A video can help you educate your potential customer so they come to you more targeted and prepared. * A video can save you time in the long run. Rather than spend your time giving the same “pitch” to every shopper who inquires, you can let your video bring them to a further understanding of what you can do for them, and therefore spend your time with more qualified leads. * A video is a more engaging, entertaining way to introduce yourself to potential customers, who may be learning about you via an email or even a referral. * A video builds a more personal relationship between you and your customers. * A video will increase lead conversion and purchases. * Video has the power to convey emotion and heart, whereas reading text mostly calls the analytical brain. It is the heart that usually motivates people to act on something. |
