Create Impact Online with Website Video Production
Online video success depends on so much more than a funny script and high definition picture. If you want to create strong impact and earn good ROI on your web video assets, you need to make sure that quality remains at a certain standard in all aspects of production and deployment. This, however, isn't easy to do, especially when you have a marketing team that is inexperienced in video production and promotion. In-house training and strategic development is an ideal long-term solution, but if you want to reap the benefits of online video, recruiting the help of a specialized firm is the more practical route to take. With the help of a video production firm, you can get more out of your investment and avoid the pitfalls of trying to produce something out of your team's inexperience.
Professional firms know how to navigate all the ropes of online video production and will guide you through all the processes and the traps you should avoid as you venture into video marketing:
- Quality planning – Unlike a block of text on your landing page, videos are not as easy to alter. This is exactly why you should start every video project with a quality planning session. An experienced firm will help you determine the main objective for your campaign, plan its content, and ensure all critical elements are incorporated into the final output.
- Setting marketing objectives – This can be anything from creating brand recall through the emotional/entertainment value of your content or through your logo to lead generation by including incentives for sharing your information, and a combination of other marketing goals like advertisement, education, endorsement, or immediate sale.
- Writing the outline/script – A written transcript of your video will not only help you test the cohesiveness of your storyline but also help you evaluate its content, keeping in mind the way an average viewer will perceive your message.
- Rendering the script – Whether you choose animation or a live action commercial/presentation, the quality of the final video largely depends on the quality of the actual production. Professional production firms adhere only to the highest quality standards, saving you from wasting your time and money on poorly made videos that are hard to watch. It's time to break the myth that 'home video' quality promotions make your business seem more personal. If anything, they make you look unprofessional and unserious about your cause.
- Distribution – Proper distribution through your website and social channels is also an important aspect of a video campaign that professional firms can assist you with.
