Video is a Powerful Tool part 2

For real impact, a web site needs to generate a response. How do you do that? With Video!

By using the power of video people retain 80% more of what they see and hear much better than written text. That's what gives your web site the impact you need. In addition a nicely produced video that tells your story will keep eyes on your site longer, allowing you to capture their attention…and their business.

Plus, in today’s media driven world, video is passed on to others, expanding your sales presence. Video provides a consistent message every time it is viewed. Internet Video sells 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Next time I'll share 11 ways you can use one video to market your business.

Marketing more... All the time

When to advertise and when to cut back was going to be the title on my post. Then I came across this article and went "I can not say it any better. The info below is take from http://www.eccomeecgo.blogspot.com/. Thank you Earl.

When looking at the idea of marketing those who market make it, those who don't... According to Earl Chessher's blog EC Come, EC Go, "The same applied to low store traffic: "Not too many coming in, we'd better advertise more," or "We're having huge traffic, let's advertise MORE!" Get the concept?"

Earl continues, "It is also a known fact that while marketing is important year round, in lean, mean or great times, it is even MORE important during times like the current national and world wide economic situation. Ironically this is when many of us cut back on our marketing - marketing budgets, insurance and subscriptions to associations, organizations and magazines are the first areas to cut back. This, when you need to be doing it the most. Marketing works folks, no doubt about it."

Thanks Earl for those oh so true words. There are some items you can do right now.
1) Dust off your marketing materials, update as necessary, the brochures, postcards, DVD's and get them out to your mailing list. 2) Follow through with a Facebook, Blog account and post information about your business on-line for all to follow - show that you are the expert in your field. 3) Use twitter to drive people to your facebook and blog accounts. 4) Put links on your website to your facebook and blog accounts. 5) In your print advertising invite people to follow you on facebook and your blog. 6) Post your videos on social network sites along with chamber sites, your site etc. See a tread appearing here.

One cannot sit back and wait for change.... you need to go out and drive people to you while making that change.

My job is to tell your story. I do this with video, website and social networks. Contact me and lets get your story back out there for all to see. Go to my website www.dwvideo.com or email me - put in the subject line "Tell My Story". God Bless and have a great day!

Did you know that the big box stores send out their home movie, video to dvd transfers to another state.

Did you know that at DW Video & Multimedia, LLC handles all the work in-house and at competitive prices to these box stores.

Since 1984 our job has been to preserve family memories. Today that is done by transferring home movies (8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm), Slides and Videotape to DVD. A service that is not offered by these box stores, DW Video also provide a service that allows you to narrate the home movies/slides. Actually tell your story to your family and future generations. We have had parents, grandparents, siblings all involved in the narration process. What better way to capture these memories than to have a loved on tell the family story.

In addition to transferring media to DVD, DW Video also transfers 8-tracks, Records, Cassettes and Reel to Reel Audio tapes to CD. This is a great way to share your audio memories with others.

At DW Video we belive in the personal touch. When it comes to the label on the CD or DVD we print direct to media. No need for peel & stick labels that could cause damage to your drive down the road. At no additional cost bring in a photo (print or digital) and we will add it to the label design. What better way to remember your home movies than a photo of the Great Grandparents on the label.

For more information please contact Duane at 231 937-5420.

All work and no play

This is the pot calling the kettle black. However we all need time to ourselves. Time with family, time to reflect and time for growth. My goal is to not be all work and no play. Good luck to the rest of you. God Bless

Hard Work and Practice

On my spare time I get the privilege to teach a multi-camera production class at Greenville High School. It amazes me when you set the bar high how students rise to the occasion. I was very impressed with my JVP Video Crew, they rocked the production last night. Just goes to show you what hard work and practice can do in the making of a great video.
