A website is a necessary part of any business, big or small. But what many business owners don’t realize is that website videos can be a powerful tool to help promote their business and increase traffic. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of website videos, the different types of videos you can create, and how to make sure you are getting the most out of your content.
Videos for your website are incredibly important because that is how you are being judged as a business owner now. Most millennials make their judgement of where to spend money based off reviews and visual media. So, if your website does not have any videos, you are more likely to lose business.
Videos for your Website...
What types of videos should you create for your website? The answer is: it depends on what type of business you have. If you are a restaurant, then having a video that showcases your food and atmosphere is key. If you are a service-based business, then having a testimonial style video is important. And finally, if you are selling products, then creating product videos is essential.
Once you have decided what type of videos to create for your website, the next step is to make sure you are maximizing their potential. The first way to do this is by ensuring that the videos are high quality and professionally done.
Our Suggested Videos for your Website...
We use our website to lead by example on whatever we recommend. We have a banner video, a video addressing our audience, a testimonial video, and a promo video. As a video production company we’re expected to showcase more media than the pizza restaurant down the street, but these videos are specific for creating conversions.
The area of opportunity most businesses are not using are testimonial pieces, which is a glorified 5 star review, with visuals and sounds that align with your brand. A good testimonial video might be all need to convince people to give you their money.
How Much are Videos for your Website?
We recommend at least 1 testimonial, 1 banner video, and 1 video talking to your audience. These videos if planned in advance can be shot in a half a day’s time. The equipment we’d suggest would be 2 cameras for testimonials and about us, professional lighting setup, clear crisp audio. I’d recommend having a production assistant to speed up the work flow and to have dedicated focus on the second camera. Most people want the drone for their business, whether it be the sign, the sunrise, the sunset. The editing time would be estimated to take 20 hours in this package, that comes from our experience and knowledge knowing how long it takes.
This would be $3,139 .
These videos will provide an easier decision making process for the generation that uses their phone all day.
