- Why do I need a video? You don’t, but your competitors will probably put one on their site.
- Is this just a fad? Absolutely not. Digital video delivery is the new wave in internet technology and is here to stay. Internet giants Yahoo, Google, Revver, Ask.com, Online Yellow Pages and many more are jumping on internet video as the new “must have,” for business, predicting astronomical growth over the next three years to five years. Don’ wait... act now.
- What will a video do for me? It depends on the video and what you want to say. Most of our business videos will focus on introducing you, your ideas, your services or your products in a short 1 to 5 minute format, that is proven to produce strong conversions (sales) averaging 10 to30%. No other medium (radio, TV or print) even comes close to these results!
- Can such a short video work? Absolutely and more than likely, if it is done professionally, will generate information, showcase unique products, ideas and staff and most important…evoke emotion…the necessary key to get people interested.
- Why not a 30 second commercial? Short commercials are typically photo slide shows, not videos at all...utterly lost in a sea of bigger ad budgets, and overshadowed by the largest corporate clients who have large annual ad campaign budgets. Interviews, details, showroom tours, testimonials? ...forget about it ! 30 second commercials cannot come close to telling a complete story, convey any depth, range, uniqueness or detail of your good idea, product offering(s) or cannot explain any process or detailed concept.
- What about the "Do It Yourself" video services: You get what you pay for. (See #5 above). $100 videos are usually generic photo slide shows or stock images that are reused, over and over, by many companies. They always require additional fees to run these "clips" on other sites usually on a cost per click basis...far exceeding costs of a BVO video. They are as quickly forgotten as they are to produce
- What can you say in a few minutes? A heck of a lot more than a 30 second commercial. It is the difference between a float on a green canoe and a cruise on a luxury liner. With a tight script, an interview subject who knows their company, good product shots and details and some simple graphics…we can make anyone look interesting and compelling and explain the most complex product, idea, concept or service.
- How long does it take once we say "GO"? That depends on you. If you are motivated, we can shoot within days and have a rough cut ready for review within 10 days. A final cut will be ready 2 days later for upload to your site.
- How much does it cost? It depends on the length and choice of package, but standard fees range from $1,500 to $2,500 for a 90sec to 2.5minute video. Additional minutes average $1,000 up to a maximum of 5 or 6 minutes. Of course, we offer specials and packages!
- Will it play quickly on my web site? Yes. New streaming software on our servers will load and start playing almost immediately.
- How is the resolution and quality high definition? Streaming video is very high quality these days. You will see rich colors, close-up details and warm/rich skin tones. It is high resolution, using the highest quality professional digital cameras available on the market.
- Do we actually own the video? No, we host it and control it on our servers, but you will have complete access to the final video on your website. For a small monthly hosting fee, (usually included in our basic packages) we will even upload and distribute it to some of the favorite video web sites such as Google Video or Yahoo video. Once complete, we provide you a link so your video will stream, trouble free and On-Demand from your company website.
- Do we need a website to view the videos? Yes. If you need help, we can even design new websites around the video, revamp your existing site and give you a backend database (standard for all BVO sites) which will help you launch sucessfulll video and webmarketing campaigns as your SEO/SEM online strategy.
- What is SEO/SEM? Search Engine Optimization is part of a sucessfull Search Engine Marketing plan, which allows video and websites to be ranked and found on the most popular search engines (Google, Yahoo) and social networking sites (Facebook, YouTube, Revver). By uploading video to these sites, you can create countless inbound links to your site, boosting your rankings, visability and results...and making it easier for people to find you!
- What if we have a website and don’t need help redesigning it? You don’t need anything from us, other than the code to embed on your website. Your webmaster or our technical team can place this code for you and you will be up and running in minutes.
- Will the video work on any website? Yes, as long as you have a high speed internet connection with basic DSL or better. (74%+ of the population does).
- What makes your websites unique? We have partnered with some digital artisians who can create beautiful template sites, to custom sites that will rival any other studio in the country. Scan some of our samples for ideas. Prices vary based on designs, page length and complexity, ranging from $500 for a basic to $10,000 for a custom branded site. Our most complex sites feature a robust and bulletproof CMS database engine, which can track your data, manages your mailing lists, organizes outbound marketing email and video blog campaigns, tracks new members and even automatically downloads the latest news and articles for your particular niche business. All you have to do is review and post and your web site rises like a bullet to the top of the search engines.
