Video Production Is The Millennial Way Of Marketing

Santiago Sanches

- CTO

If you’re like me and you spend most of your time online, you will know that the Internet, or more specifically social media, has a ton of promotional, informational, or even funny videos of pets doing funny things. We live in a world where people are more attracted to videos than text when they visit a website. The average internet user spends 88 percent more time in a website watching videos. This means that companies want to grab the attention of customers by providing videos to market their products.

GOT THE SAUCE?

If you’re creative and not afraid to try something new when it comes to videos, understand the technology behind video production, or enjoy the process of taking raw video footage, this could be a great small business idea for you. Some considerations before going further are…

  • KNOWING HOW TO NETWORK

When it comes to video production, networking is key. You need to go out there and shake a lot of hands, meet up with a lot of potential clients face to face and introduce yourself because this is the only way to get your portfolio out there. A lot of production companies are stacked up on work and could always release some work your way. This is a common practice when starting early on. But don’t stop there, along the way create connections with clients and make them feel special. This could go a long way in your career as a videographer.

  • REQUEST REFERRALS

In this industry, it’s all about who you know and who will vouch for you. When it comes to video production the balls rolls down by word of mouth. This is where referrals come into play, if you have established a great relationship with all your clients and they’re happy with the work you have provided them with, ask them to provide a few words about their experience working with you. Being able to have this in your marketing website or social media is a huge start!

  • PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY WORK

Well, this is a no brainer; If you really want to be successful in anything, you have to give it your best, right? Producing high quality product will get you high quality paid. Clients will choose you to work for them if they know that you work with professionalism and craftsmanship. Remember, this business is already saturated. In order to make great work, always communicate clearly with your client. Plan and develop accordingly, making your client happy is the ultimate goal.
