What videos you can make
Videos can be used to replace anything from recruitment advertisements to testimonials to anything else that may assist your business which would normally consist of text.
Take recruitment advertisements for example. Instead of having something published in a paper, using a video will put a face to your company, and it’ll be much easier to convey how welcoming and professional your company is than it would be just typing something out.
As well as this, you can also use video for customer testimonials. Although you may already have a section dedicated to this on your website, an actual video could be more effective – it’s much easier to fake a written testimonial than it is a voice or facial expression, after all. Also bear in mind that these can be animated as opposed to using shots of real people.
Remember that people are more likely to trust your brand if they can put a face to it instead of just endless text. The same goes with any reviews or testimonials, as aforementioned.
