Frequently Asked Questions
From Pre-production to Online Posting
- Why do I need a video on my website?
Video is powerful. It grabs attention and engages potential customers by letting them meet the staff, see the equipment and get a first hand look at your operation. It's much more dynamic than still pictures and written text. Some marketing studies show websites with video entice people to "take action" 50% more than websites without video.
