Another in-expensive social media promotional video Produced

Mark — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:33:46 +0000

I have to say this was great fun to make too. A gun Cartridge retailer based in oxon that I have produced video work for in the past contacted me with a brief to promote a brand new product that is going to take the clay pigeon competition shooting market by storm. The product is called “Starburst” watch the video to find out why! If you are interested to have a promotional video made for your company or maybe you also have a new product you would like to promote, get in touch, you will be shocked at how little this costs.

“Reset” your social media strategy regularly

Mark — Sat, 29 May 2010 13:45:54 +0000

One of the dangers of using too much automation in your social media strategy is the risk of just becoming stagnant and falling into the background “noise”. You have to understand that there is no real easy ride when it comes to managing a social media strategy effectively as the whole thing revolves around the generation of good quality content, hence the need for a regular reset.

This involves you taking a step back from the content you already have out there and asking the questions “whats big at the moment?, what are people talking about and how does my product relate to that ?” It might be that there are topical events that are happening right now that you can use by riding on the wave of interest and pushing traffic to your target landing page. A good example is the “world cup anxiety” story that you can see a few blog posts ago. You cant get away from the world cup at the moment the story is huge, the excitement is constant and is only going to increase now into the competition so use it to your advantage.

Example of an in-expensive promotional video for social media use

Mark — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:21:38 +0000

Whether you’re a large corporation, small business or tradesman, you probably could use a little more business.

The question is how to get the word out about your products or services to the people who need them. One of the quickest and most efficient ways, that has a reputation for getting the most eyeballs on your website and quickly generating new business is to use short videos like the one below.

If you’re not convinced that video can help your business, consider the viral marketing success of the incredibly successful “Will It Blend?” videos created by Tom Dickson, founder of Blendtec. The videos became an overnight sensation on YouTube, and according to some sources, sales increased by 600 percent and subsequent hits to the Will It Blend website surpassed all expectations, which is a massive return for spending only a few minutes in front of a video camera and a little editing effort.

Here’s an example of a video promotion campaign that I recently produced:

It’s true that time is most businesses greatest commodity, and many have so little to spare, particularly when it comes to managing the creation of video content, editing it, and the most important part of “Getting it out there” across multiple social networks.

Most people are surprised at just how little a fully managed video service can cost and particularly how quickly it can be implemented and spread across the top 40 social networks. To find out more about how I can help your business achieve this, please give me a call: 07743 471 676
