7 Reasons You Must Have Online Video On Your Website
You can do a lot better with your website. Paramount Video
Productions, a leading Brisbane Video Production company, shows you how.
Video is becoming a must-have on the Internet. How can you benefit?
Bear in mind we are walking through a revolution in communication - the
digital revolution. We are time-poor: computers give us increasingly
more work to do. We need information delivered fast - video achieves
this. But, just as with the spoken word, with writing and with any
communication we want the message delivered with style - style that
engages, entertains and educates. Style that grabs our attention, gets
us hooked and makes us hang in there to the end.
In this two-part article we explore how you can get ongoing, affordable
video to increase profits, communicate better and build your brand. By
keeping your website fresh with new video content, you can make it
dynamic and interactive - a magnet that attracts attention.
Alternatively, you may just want to keep your staff and customers better
informed.
Here are the questions you ask: how can I use online video effectively;
which companies offer the best web video production; besides using on
my website what added value can I get; should I make a corporate video
for my website or another type of video and what companies should I
hire?
Please think of this series of articles as a workshop. At any time go
to the Paramount Video Productions website to discover and explore. Use
the menu. Go to Marketing or Training or Events. In Marketing, choose a
section such as Web Videos. Bear in mind this company is a leader in

Before we look at the seven points, in Part 2, some observations for you.
Why is video so popular? It is more interactive than text and
viewers relate better to video. Video is social, mobile, interactive,
profitable, trackable, brandable and the list goes on. Did you know that
in September 2012 US Internet users engaged in over 39.8 BILLION video
views? If you have not incorporated effective video on your site it is
time to seriously start considering it. If not, you are behind the times
- your competitors will overtake you.
Note the words effective video: don't make the mistake of thinking
just any video will do. The topic must be well researched, well scripted
and carefully constructed to appeal to the target market in style and
form; it must entertain and educate. It must have rhythm and pace that
compels the viewer's brain to lock in. In summary, an effective video is
a complex combination of many different elements. Only expert can
achieve this.
Key Insight: After twenty years in Video Production in Brisbane we
know that what your customer wants in your video is TV quality. Your
target market probably views TV from four to ten hours each week. TV has
become the standard, the norm for your customer. You know that TV is a
multi-billion dollar industry with highly skilled experts. TV Producers,
after ten years of training, are able to combine all the complex
elements needed to compel the viewer to watch. TV Producers are skilled
in using content and style to capture the attention of specific,
segmented, target markets such as: children 5 to 12, teenagers male
12-19, female 20-30, families, and many more audience categories.
What's the lesson here for you? Top quality camerawork, interesting
angles, good presenters, and good scripts with compelling words,
exciting music, rhythm and pace - all these TV qualities need to be in
your video if you are to succeed.
Further, your video needs to be aimed specifically, in content and style, at your target.
Besides TV Producers, Advertising Agencies also follow all of the above
to create compelling TV Commercials. What is the lesson here for you? Do
not underestimate the complexity of video. You need an expert in mass
communication. Do not go for the cheap and nasty - it will not work and
it will make your brand look cheap. Hire top professionals, preferably
with TV experience, who use all the elements to aim a message directly
at your target market.
Keep in mind the keywords of the Canadian media guru Marshall
McLuhan: "The Medium is the Massage" or "the medium is the message".
This great man is telling you that the style - the "look" of your video
IS the sales message. If your video is well produced your target market
assumes your product is well produced. That's why good TV Commercials of
thirty seconds take three days to produce: the lighting, the sets, the
locations, the camera angles, the camera lenses, the look of the actors,
the costumes, the words spoken, the music, the pace of the editing -
all these elements massage the brain of the viewer. The medium is the
massage. The massage is what will sell your product. Put as much money
as you can into making the best "massage", the best production possible.

However, let me say, the budgets we have been given so far, except for
Health work with Universities, have been, sadly, quite small, leading to
good, but rushed, work.
Thank you for sharing this time with me. I hope these ideas help you
prosper and grow your business. We've been looking at: the current
explosion of online video and why your target market wants your message
in video, the complexity of video, the need to get TV-style quality. In
section two we go on to seven reasons you must have video on your
website. If you want this now, please contact me.
