a video for every occasion

There are five types of online video:

Video Sales Letters (a VSL)
A VSL is like a personal 1:1 conversation. Selling a product or service, it’s ‘show and tell’ which brings the message to life. Solving a need, a problem, or a desire, a VSL is able to provide an irrisistable offer leading to the call to action.

Explainer and Demo Videos
These show how a product or service can solve a problem. They are a very persuasive form of video that can run through all the benefits, show happy customers and end with a call to action.

How-To (Help) Videos
They give advice, show step-by-step instructions, cover major FAQ’s and, above all, help the prospect or new customer.

Case Study/Testimonial Videos
These are real stories of customer success using the client’s product or service. It’s the before and after story. Featuring comments from customers on camera, a case study or testimonial video is an extremely powerful and persuasive marketing tool.

Webinar Videos
These are live presentations that, once recorded, have long-lasting prospecting benefits. This service might also include help with assembling the presentation slides. Presented by experts, they must always end with a call to action.
