Using Video To Promote Brick And Mortar Business
ByThe world is online. People Google you, Yelp you, and review you
before they ever step foot in your business. Honestly, why shouldn’t
they. Time is money, money is time these days and if they can find a
pizza shop, internet service, plumber, accountant, pediatrician close
by that is using media to tell their customers a little more about
what to expect, they will find it, read it or watch it. If you have a
video on your website or video submission site that allows your
customers to see your mouth watering pizzas or learn more about your
Chiropractic business they will be more likely to call you or stop by.
They already feel like they “know” you.
Zero search results equals zero credibility.
As i mentioned before, people are online. If they type your business
name in their favorite search engine and nothing pops up they think
it’s possible you don’t exist or are out of business. I am sure you
understand that this means you just lost a potential customer.
If you have a website you have a fighting chance, but what if you also
had a video? What if you could reach out and grab customers off the
street, pull them into your business and force them to listen to your
presentation. Would you do it? I bet! This is kind of how video
marketing works. Putting a video on your site or publishing to social
video sites allows you to present potential clients with a snapshot of
who you are and what you have to offer. It not only saves them time,
but allows them to determine if you are worth another look.
Creating a video doesn’t have to be time consuming. Most companies
outsource video creation in order to save time and money. And, the
fact that video creation software is expensive also tends to encourage
hiring it done. A professional video creation expert will know what to
include in your video, how long it should be in terms of time and
other elements to include like sounds and visual effects. They will
also be able to tell you how to market your video, a step you must
take if you are going to have a video created.
Now you know you need a video and you need to make it visible. It is
the best virtual business card you can offer to your potential
clients. It’s worth the time, money and effort.
