Video is the best way you can promote your business online: nothing beats the power of moving pictures to tell a story, and an online video that can be easily sent around the web, embedded on your profile, picked up by bloggers and posted onto Facebook and other social media sites can send your profile skyrocketing.
The problem has been getting the video content produced: until now the options were taking the DIY approach, which usually results in a poorly lit ramble that doesn’t do you any favours, or getting the pros in, which won’t leave you much change out of $5-10 grand.
So over the last couple of months we’ve been pretty busy here at Made From New Zealand HQ figuring out the solution, and we think we’ve cracked it.
What we’ve done is put together a mobile video production team, all graduates from Wellington Institute of Technology’s Department of Creative Technologies, and set up a post-production studio at our office in central Wellington. These guys are good, keen and hungry, and really know hwo to make content for the web.
Then we created an online video request form which allows Made From New Zealand members to enter all the details that you’d want covered in a 90 second video profile. The form helps you to focus on your story, make sure all relevant messages are covered, and gives our crew a heads up on what to expect when they turn up to interview you.
The interview takes no more than an hour (we’ve completed a couple in 40 minutes), and our two-camera plus director crew have all the skills to make you look like a star.
Then the footage is sent back to the studio in Wellington, edited down to 90 seconds, and can be live on youtube, on your Made From New Zealand profile, and anywhere else you want to see it on the web (or in your trade show presentation, powerpoint sales pitches, wherever) within a few days.
Here’s a great example of what we can do for you: it’s the Epic Brewing Company video profile, which we shot at the Epic brewery in Auckland.
And what does all of this cost? For an hour with the crew and and 3-4 hours in the edit suite, it’s only $499 plus gst! If you want more time, added effects or multiple cuts we charge a bit more: but it’s still usually no more than $1000 plus gst. We can do epic productions as well, free have a chat to us about that.
A quality video profile for less than a grand is exceptional value, and it’s a must-have if you’re serious about promoting your business online. Video profiles are the new ‘bold listing’ on the web, and will give your business a serious boost in traffic and enquiries.
Don’t put it off any longer: the crew is only a click away. If you’re a member of Made From New Zealand, just go to any video and click on the “request business video profile” button. Do it now. And if you’re not a member yet, then join up, or just send an email to moviemakers@madefromnewzealand.com and we’ll step you through the process. Action!
