In this edition of Blueforest video production tips and tricks, let’s cut the filler. You need people to buy from your company. If you want to up your profits, video is the dominating format for converting content views into real sales. For starters, the rate of video consumption is going through the roof as it rises to a staggering 78% over the next few years. As that number rises, you’ll find that this 80% conversion increase stated by Unbounce clearly shows this media type should be a critical piece of your marketing. Let’s get the money flowing with tips on creating a phenomenal company video.

Call to action

You need your audience to take action if you want to make sales. First, you should decide which action you want them to take. Are they subscribing to your mailing list in exchange for a free ebook guide? Are they clicking through to your landing page? You’ll need to set up your message with a compelling reason to get them moving towards action.

Craft a great script

When is the last time you gave someone your money after they bored you? Have you paid for a product that wasn’t believable? Why would your weak video do any different? Be really smart about how you sell your message. You want your audience captivated by the plot because they will quickly tune out otherwise. That said, simple is the key to giving an easy-to-understand message. You’ll see the results in the bank account.

Focus on great storytelling

In the process of a great script, you should be putting your brand storytelling at the forefront. Your film will be a strong piece of your marketing campaign, but it will only be one small piece. The takeaway image in your audience’s minds should be consistent with your brand’s values and mission. This brings a deeper believability to your promotion, increasing your chances of making the all-mighty sale.

Chose the right video length

Still with us? Good! We’re not going to have you read an article all day. In the same mindset, you shouldn’t have your audience watching your video all day. Most locations for posting your video are going to be most effective with a 30-second format (give or take). Specifically for footage that’s going to boost your sales, a short video will make perfect use of your simple script.

Choose the right visual style

If the script, message, and length were the meat of your video, the visuals are the seasoning. You could have slightly bland visuals, but few people will want a taste. That’s no good for increasing your conversions. One major trend that’s been on the rise recently is animated video. Interestingly enough, it’s becoming a wonderful way to get people interested in your marketing. It’s not always the perfect style, as sometimes live-action footage may show deeper details your audience needs to make a purchase.

Keep your sales strong with a team that’s dedicated to video

Creating an awesome company video is a bit of a steep task to take on alone. You’ll find that it becomes much easier if you can share your vision with a team trained to execute it.
