In 2010 we started our online video marketing service and it was an immediate success for our clients. They started getting phone calls from people who had seen a video we made of them talking about an aspect of their business. Calls from people they would have never heard from otherwise.
What are Online Video Marketing Services?
Great question!
Video takes online marketing the final step and puts the face and voice of your company on your website, social media, email, and anywhere you want. Clients & potential clients, employees & potential employees, even Mom & Dad can see and hear what your company is doing in the best way possible short of being there in person.
Work with you in any number of capacities. If you have us handle everything end to end this would be an approximation of the process:
- Planning and Strategy
- Graphic Design
- Shooting
- Editing
- Review
- Optimize
- Distribute/Promote
- Analyse & Repeat
What about Youtube?
Another great question!
We think that Youtube is the most underutilized and underappreciated business marketing tool on the planet. We create and manage Youtube Channels for all of our clients. We upload all of their videos to Youtube by default. If you also want to be on Vimeo or another platform we can handle that as well, but Youtube is the king in this arena.
Here are some numbers from Youtube:
