Use Videos for Your Small Business

Videos are a necessary part of doing business in NYC. You're business is competing with so many other businesses. It's important to employ video production to produce quality films that will garner the attention of busy New Yorkers.



Here are steps on how you can use cinematic business videos to boost your business:

Introduce yourself as the owner 


Some of the best videos can be a simple "hi, hello." Try the friendly approach and gain your audience trust and attention. When you've got their attention, then discuss what your business is about and what problem your product is solving. Keep it under 2 minutes because most strangers will not have the time to watch a 10 minute video about you.

Provide Social Proof


To gain the trust of your audience, it's best to use social proof. Instead of the owner providing info about the business, use existing customers instead. Just like Yelp and Google reviews help create trust around a brand, video testimonials are just as good. You can post these videos on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Post them on your website. People trust brands that have a lot of likes and have super fans.

Inform your audience


Sometimes the soft sell is the best approach. Display expertise in your field by providing a quick how-to on solving a common problem faced by your customers. You're not selling, but you're showing you know your stuff. This creates trust, which eventually leads to sales.

Videos are powerful. Use them in your business maketing.
