Marketing in 2010 has changed dramatically. Most business owners by now realize consumers search for everything online. Does your website excite, invite and motivate your visitors?
Today it’s not enough just to have a website. It’s all about first impressions. You would be better having no website than project a poor image of your company.
Imagine personally greeting every visitor 24/7/365, now that’s customer service! How about a video depicting the highlights of your product or service? Potential customers will no longer have to imagine what you offer but will get a true visual experience of your product or service.
It’s easy and affordable to have the power of video working for you. Video can enhance SEO, drive sales, engage your visitors and showcase your business. With website videos you can present exactly what you wish to convey to your audience without the constraints of time and broadcast technicalities
Interested? There’s more – with a video business card you can send your personal message in your e-mail. 
Your “About Us” will come alive when your personnel introduce themselves and explain how they will benefit the visitor. How about a tour or training? Video takes you there and engages viewers in a way that text simply cannot.
Today – video means business.

GREEN SCREEN TECHNOLOGY
- Green screen allows the background (green screen) to be removed or made transparent and add b-roll to support the message (video).
- There is nothing special that the individual has to do to prepare for a green screen video, except NOT to wear anything green or shades of green. It will become transparent and the background will show through.
- Green screen production also allows products or services to be displayed in the foreground (with voice over) or in the background.

PRACTICING YOUR DIALOGUE
- After creating your dialogue put it away and review it later. Does it get the right message across?
- Practice reading it out loud and time it for approximately 1 minute.
- For DIY, if you don’t have a teleprompter, print the dialogue in large text that you can read from a distance.
- The best way to do a video (dialogue) is to be yourself, practice it until you feel comfortable, but don’t agonize over it. Be yourself! See yourself in front of your customer.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
- Every visitor to your website has either come there by accident (search) or on purpose (entered your domain name). You have this opportunity to capture their attention, no matter how they arrived there.
- When the visitor arrives at your website, your video needs to grab their attention – thought provoking, (ie. “tell me more ” or “I didn’t know that” or “what’s this about”)
- If the viewer is senses a sales pitch they will generally click away, the same as they would hit the mute on TV.

KEEP THE VIEWER IN MIND
- The audience on the internet is looking for information and video is the most engaging way to grab their attention. The days of long text in a website are over… nobody reads it. They want information fast.
- Unlike TV – ads are an interruption, on the internet people are looking for information.
- Statistic prove that people viewer remember 20% of what they read, 30% of what they hear, but 70% of what they see and hear. That’s what makes video so powerful.
