A promotional video is not the same as daily content. Rather, it\u2019s something of a \u2018teaser\u2019 for your business, drawing people in. It could be used to introduce your business or to bolster a specific marketing initiative, event, or sale. It\u2019s not a product video, and it\u2019s not really a brand video either. It\u2019s what makes them want to seek those out, instead, like a good movie trailer.<\/p>\n<p>Promo videos are best used to attract new eyes and create awareness of events and promotions. They can also powerfully \u2018remind\u2019 existing customers of what you have to offer them. Video content is <a href=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/how-can-animation-and-visual-effects-improve-your-marketing-strategy\/\">easy to consume<\/a>, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescommunicationscouncil\/2019\/12\/19\/why-marketers-should-integrate-video-marketing-into-their-content-strategy\/\">it\u2019s powerful<\/a>. This makes them fun and effective ways to convey information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Makes a Good Promo Video?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So a promo video is something simple that does a powerful job. This means you need to meet some key goals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tease, don\u2019t lecture<\/strong>: This isn\u2019t a deep dive, it\u2019s a quick attention-grabber. Think catchy sound bites, fast cuts, and smart use of <a href=\"https:\/\/motionarray.com\/learn\/video-effects\/video-overlay-effects\/\">video overlay<\/a> to entice customers. Remember, this is a graphic, visual call to action, so make sure that video overlay focuses on what you want them to remember.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay focused<\/strong>: Keep the details on the event, not your whole brand<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shake it up<\/strong>: Create multiple versions using it on social media. People get bored of seeing the same thing. Luckily, smart edits mean you don\u2019t need whole new content, just fresh presentations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm\"><strong><span lang=\"EN\">How To Make A Promo Video (That Works)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19129\" src=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/two.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/two.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/two-1280x1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/two-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/two-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1)\u00a0 Script it<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the utter basics. What are you promoting? What playful angle will you take? What keywords and concepts will be central to the video? Remember, keep it short and sweet- we want our promo video under 90 seconds at a minimum, but under thirty ideally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2)\u00a0 Storyboard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Storyboarding is where you take your basic script and \u2018apply\u2019 the images to go with it. And yes, it\u2019s worth doing this step! This helps you make a coherent, flowing project from start to finish. It also helps you keep your budget tight and make sure you don\u2019t waste a cent on content that won\u2019t go into the video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3)\u00a0 Produce<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Exactly what it says on the jar. Time to take your script and storyboard, and create the actual visuals. This will still be raw film, so don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s done in separate batches or there are glitches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4)\u00a0 Assemble<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now you\u2019re going to \u2018post-produce\u2019, or edit, the video to its final form. Double-check you haven\u2019t missed key information like deadlines, dates, discount codes, addresses, and other pertinent facts. Make creative use of graphics to highlight what you need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5)\u00a0 Promote<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to put the \u2018promote\u2019 in promotional! Your baby is ready to take its first steps in the world, so send it out there on your email, social feeds, paid ads, and website.<\/p>\n<p>While promotional videos can seem a straightforward concept, they\u2019re a powerful tool in the right hands. Make sure you take the time and effort to ensure your promo video really speaks to the heart of your brand, and maintain high production standards. You can (and will) be judged on the content you create, after all. Keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/animasmarketing.com\/5-simple-tips-for-building-a-successful-online-brand\/\">strong brand identity<\/a>, and have fun, too, so that people see the human side of your brand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve probably heard that your business should have a promo video.
