\"I<\/a>
\nOne of my website partners referred a longtime client to me. Of course, he wanted a video, BUT he was having a friend put something together for his business.<\/p>\n

Then, he sent that to me.<\/p>\n

In the entire video, his business name wasn’t even mentioned. There was also no call to action – the video simply ended. To top it off, his friend had found some stock footage of a man searching for something on his laptop. In that piece of stock footage, you could see – reflected in the man’s glasses – what he was searching for. It had nothing to do with the client’s business.<\/p>\n

One of my products, #NoContact Video<\/a>, Uses stock footage along with client-supplied photos to create a compelling 60 second video. The price is ultra affordable, so I sell a lot of those to companies where I can’t travel to shoot.<\/p>\n

While my client had sent me some photos, I used those in a montage instead of inserting them directly into the video. Then, after a couple of hours searching for other footage I could use for his very specific industry, I rolled that in with some animated graphics that spoke to his features and benefits. Finally, I added a directed call to action.<\/p>\n

My small business client loved it, and wanted to use it immediately. We’ll keep track of the number of views it gets and the amount of business it generates. <\/p>\n

So just because you “know a guy”, it always pays to check in with a professional. The savings in time and hassles could be worth it.<\/p>\n

–That’s a wrap.
