What Video Production Do I Need for My Business?

If you know that your business needs a professional video, but aren’t sure where to start or how to go about getting a video production agency to bring your ideas to life, then this guide is for you.?

You may have creative ideas; however, you can’t just produce content without thinking about your video marketing objectives and how best to achieve them.

Depending on the nature of your business, you may have specific actions you want viewers to take when watching your videos, which could indicate how your video should be shot. Bearing all of this in mind, where do you start?

Establish Clear Video Marketing Goals

Before breaking down the types of services your company might be interested in, you have to consider your video advertising goals.?

Determining the video marketing campaign goals will help you choose the best video content needed for your target audience. The simplest way to do this is to look at your sales and marketing funnel and determine what you want to achieve with professional business videos , either on your website, landing pages or paid video ads with a supporting content strategy.?

Look at the four key stages of your funnel and what quality video production can help you achieve.

*Attract (Brand Awareness)

You can use video to introduce your brand to more people, encouraging them to interact with you in some capacity and rack up swathes of video views. These videos serve as your customers’ first touchpoint with your business.

*Engage (Educating Your Target Audience)

You’ll want to use video to encourage users to spend time digesting your content somehow, either on your site, exploring your services or in-person, enquiring about what you provide. Add value with online videos that help establish credibility and engage people.

*Nurture (Closing Sales)

This refers to a video designed to convince your audience that you’re better than the competition. Use video to provide your viewers with tangible benefits that’ll push them over the line, from consideration to conversion.

*Entertain (Adding Value)

Professional video marketing aimed at re-engaging your customers whilst reaffirming your brand as excellent is also worth considering. People watch videos that make them smile.

Where would your video production needs fall? Do you want to attract, engage, nurture or entertain your audience? Once you know the answer, you can choose the right video production services that your company needs.
