Last year, we launched Big Shot which, in addition to being a full-service marketing and advertising firm, has a primary focus on providing businesses with short-format (2-3 minute) videos, for online marketing, sales, communications, training and recruiting. Since then, organizations have found a variety of different ways to integrate our video ‘product’ into their plans:
- Single-location franchisees of larger retail brands are using short-format videos to differentiate their local franchises. We are working with three (3) separate owners to develop branded videos that blend the story of their unique benefits and features with their overall corporate story and brand.
- Large, sales-driven companies are using short-format video to showcase dramatic sales stories. Two (2) separate organizations are developing an ongoing series of key customer stories — told by the customers and sales people who were actually involved — to demonstrate how their products benefit customers. These are being developed both to gain new customers and to train new sales people.
- Large and mid-sized not-for-profit organizations are building short-format video ‘libraries’ as a way to describe and showcase benefits to staff, members and prospective members.
- Small, independent, local businesses are using short-format video to replace inefficient marketing and advertising efforts. Dozens of businesses are building 2-3 minute videos that tell the story of their respective businesses — giving potential customers a way to ‘see’ the brand before they buy.
- Multi-Location organizations with hourly employees are using short-format video to strengthen communications, training and operations standards. One major service organization is developing a series of training videos that will be distributed online to employees in its many regional operations facilities.
The applications for Big Shot’s short-format videos are endless. Using high-quality production and story development, viewers describe the exciting look and feel of Big Shot videos as something closer to a ‘national TV show’ than traditional advertising, or lengthy and boring business video.
