Why should you care?
• Video is the most effective and powerful
communication tool for business today!
• For all sizes of business – not just the big
guys
• Ongoing market research demonstrates
the benefits continually
mach6media.co.uk
Why is video so effective?
• Generally, people like to do business with
people they know, like and trust
• Video reaches key parts of your customers’
and clients’ brains powerfully
• It helps to build trust, credibility and
rapport
mach6media.co.uk
Video and the brain
The FUSIFORM FACIAL
AREA makes us pay attention
to FACES.
This is an actual brain
function that hard-wires us to
use the human face as a
gathering point for
information and
believability.
People meeting you almost
always look at your face first.
Video lets people meet you
online.
EMOTIONS are contagious
Here’s a subtle but powerful aspect
that we may take for granted.
The body language of emotions
is appealing and we naturally love
to share.
Video is great at emotion!
VOICE conveys rich information.
The simple sound of a human voice speaking to us
has an amazing way of converting information into
meaningful content.
Words on a page are just not the same.
Video can deliver voice, music and more.
MOVEMENT grabs attention
Another trait that runs deep in
our collective anthropological
DNA is the power of peripheral
motion.
Video creates a moving
experience!
mach6media.co.uk
What you can use video for
• Homepage personal introduction
• Explaining your product or service
• Demonstrating what you do and
how you do it
• Customer/client testimonials
• Vlogging (Video blogging)
• Public relations
….and more
mach6media.co.uk
So what does ‘making it work’
mean?
• Gets the right message across
• Speaks the language of its target audience
• Gets seen by its target audience
• Produces an intended result
mach6media.co.uk
Also…
• Having relevant content
• Reflecting your brand
• Being attractive
• Being easy to watch
mach6media.co.uk
Content is key, so...
• What do you want it to do?
• Where are you going to use it?
• Who is the target audience?
• What are the key messages?
• How does it fit into your marketing?
• How does it reflect your brand?
Plan it!
mach6media.co.uk
Content is key...
• If your content is poor or inappropriate,
you won’t influence your viewers
• Well, you might – you could put them off!
Plan it!
mach6media.co.uk
A word about styling…
Another bunch of factors that
make a difference….
• Style
• Full face to camera
• Interview
• Demonstration
• Walk-and-talk
• Setting
• Where
• Background
• Angle and framing
• Personal appearance …yours
mach6media.co.uk
Also remember…
Information is interesting but
stories are powerful!
mach6media.co.uk
What about the technical stuff?
• Quality considerations
• Sound
• Light
• Image stability
• Image quality
Amateurish videos can
suggest your business is
the same!
mach6media.co.uk

smartphone…
