Do you want to make better use of that website you paid a web designer a little too much to create for you? Are you afraid that over time your website has begun to look outdated and possibly even work against you when potential customers visit it? Are you wondering if your competition is beginning to outpace you in their online marketing campaigns?
If your answer to any of these questions is in the affirmative I can suggest a way to address them all, a method that should not cost you more than a couple of hundred dollars to implement. Hiring a freelance video editor to make a short promotional video for your business is an excellent way to reach more people who come to your website and even to attract visitors who might not have found it at all.
A competent editor can simply take photographs, your company logo, and the sales copy that you worked so hard to create for your site, and essentially recycle all these elements into a gorgeous short video that probably would be suitable for television if you had the advertising budget to buy TV time.
In 2011 however, you have what amounts to a broadcasting network at your disposal that costs you absolutely nothing to use. I am talking about YouTube, which will be the place that this promotional video of yours is hosted. YouTube videos that are properly tagged are indexed in search engines so that people looking for information on a given subject are just as likely to end up watching a video promoting your business as they are your webpage. Naturally the video itself will direct people watching it to your website.
At the same time your freelance video editor will embed the video in a prominent position of your site so that visitors won’t miss it. This gives people who wouldn’t read more than a sentence a different way to engage with your site, and by extension your company.
