Recognizing the Power of Video Marketing

Video Marketing The use of online video as a marketing tool is a relatively new innovation but is one that is proving to be very popular with businesses. Video has been used for some time by the corporate sector, but online video has a shorter lifespan although that is changing. Businesses have recognized the power of this medium which enables their products or services to be demonstrated to audiences all around the world. This is what we mean by ‘global reach’. Visual Engagement Video is a highly visual medium for connecting with your customers. People enjoy watching video and in some cases would prefer to watch a video than read a book as they prefer the immediacy of this medium. Then there is the fact that attention spans are shorter than previously which means that people are less likely to spend time reading about a subject, e.g. product specifications. Product information can be condensed into a short video which appeals to an audience which may be cash rich but time poor.

Herding Cats with WordPress Plug-ins

Yippee! Open Source Software! We love it! Really? I’m not a tech guy nor do I play one on TV, but all the hype about how WordPress and other similar stuff makes your life easy is overestimated, at best.

5 Myths About Creating Video Content

Video is arguably the most powerful way to send your message across to an audience, yet it is surprising that such a small percentage of people use it both for their web content and marketing materials. This is perhaps due to a number of misconceptions that people have when it comes to creating video content, which are clarified below: 1. You Need To Spend A Lot: You may have seen or at least heard about companies that will produce your video for you, but charge an absolute fortune to do it (well, what the average person would consider a fortune). It’s not a necessity to get it professionally done – just take a look at the majority of videos on YouTube. Use your friend’s camera, or just record straight into the computer with a webcam. 2. It Needs To Be High Quality: The content of your video is what matters most – as long as this is helpful to somebody then there’s no reason it should look like it cost a million dollars. Don’t worry so much about your poor acting ability (or your friend’s poor acting ability), or whether the picture is too grainy – as long as the sound is okay then just about everything else is pretty trivial

How to Webcast Videos on the Internet

Webcasting, also known as live video streaming, is one of the fastest growing video production services. Companies are increasingly using webcasting as a means of communicating that is more engaging than a conference call. The reason that webcasting is so much more effective as a communication tool, as compared to a phone call, is that part of all messages is delivered in non-verbal communication that isn’t transmitted using audio alone. Webcasting also has the benefit of connecting groups that aren’t in the same physical location at the same time to the same presenter and is often used at conferences, both for incoming and outgoing video communications. Live video streaming saves both the time and expense of flying a speaker to several locations and is an effective way for companies to lower their carbon footprint. Single camera webcasts can be very simple to produce but multi-camera webcasts require professional equipment and a technical director to perform the live switching. For the most basic webcast, a single camera transmits both the audio and video feeds to a computer that is connected to the Internet and the video is uploaded to a streaming server
