One of the most promising tools: video content
No matter how perfect a photo is – when conveying meanings and feelings, it quickly reaches its limits. The limits of photo format is just the starting point for opportunities with moving images. Not only does the dynamic of a film attract more attention than a still image, but a film is also the simplest method of portraying complicated, dry or hard-to-grasp topics in an entertaining, quick and attractive way. In addition, professional online videos offer customers and partners the opportunity to have a look behind the scenes. How are my products manufactured? Which materials are used? And who is actually behind the brands? Online movies provide the answer in various ways, whether it be as an image film, product visualisation or in the form of video business cards. The possibilities are virtually endless when using online videos as a means of communication. At the end of the day, the success of advertising says a lot about the quality of the film. In order to produce a good online video and broadcast it successfully, the following must be observed:
1. Make your company logo the first image of your film! In doing so, visitors from online video portals will immediately know who is behind the video.
2. Choose an eye-catching thumbnail! Search engines, such as Google, show thumbnails (preview images) along with the search results. Choose wisely in order to draw in as many viewers as possible.
3. Think about using keywords! Strong titles, teasers, tags and URLs give you a better chance with search engines.
4. Be authentic! Show the people behind the your brand. Speak to your viewers as you would to friend you bumped into on the street. The days of cliché-ridden slogans are over.
5. Short and snappy is the key! Use your film to arouse interest – it is not to be a detailed documentary.
6. Don't overload your film! Your film should adequately convey information, but also not lead to visual sensory overload. Bear in mind that less is often more and it also has a more serious effect.
7. Ensure your film is available in convenient formats! Customer-friendly movies can be viewed on all devices.
