Take this as a sign that it is TIME to invest in YOURSELF! And the best way to do this is through video to grow your brand. ⠀

🎥 Video is proven to be the best form of marketing to reach consumers. It comes in many different forms and can be an investment in both TIME⏰ and MONEY💵. You can invest in professional video or in DIY video: one is more money and one is way more time! There is a time and a place for both kinds!⠀

Professional videos: video business cards, how-to/explainer videos, testimonials, video tours of a space, website branding videos, etc.⠀
DIY videos: behind the scenes, q&as, Instagram Reels, Tik Toks, short introduction videos, tour of your work space, a day in the life videos, etc. ⠀

Both types of video will help your brand grow, but you need to know when to invest your TIME⏰ vs your MONEY💵. DIY video is GREAT when you are just starting out, or as an interim between larger projects, but make sure you understand the importance of investing money into your business through video. ⠀

Message us if you are ready to take that leap, if you want to learn what type of video you need for your business, or if you want help planning and executing your DIY video, in the interim of your larger projects! ⠀

It's Monday, so we wanted to drop some inspiration for your week! You're doing a great job at growing your business/brand with video - keep up the amazing work!

Here are video content ideas for Instagram (or Facebook!) for each day of the week!

Monday: Introduce yourself! It's probably been a while since you've said hello to your followers, so make a short video about who you are and what you do and post it right to your feed!

Tuesday: Give a tip! People love insider secrets - make a Reel for Instagram showcasing something that someone outside your industry might not know!

Wednesday: A day in the life! Take your followers behind-the-scenes of your business on your Instagram stories. Then, compile all the stories into one long post for IGTV!

Thursday: Go live! Instagram live and Facebook live are GREAT marketing tools because they are FREE and they notify all your followers that you are going live. Grab someone in or outside your industry, do a quick chat, and then save the whole video to post to your feed!

Friday: Answer questions! It's been a long week, so lets have your followers do the work. Put a Q&A box in your Instagram stories, have your followers ask you questions, and then answer them on video in your stories. They'll love seeing and hearing directly from you!

Good luck with your tasks!

Here at 11 O'Clock Creative, we pride ourselves on being very eco-friendly - we only have one earth to live on and we need to do our best to take care of it, in this moment that we have. That is why we especially enjoy working with businesses that share in that mindset, to help spread their message through visual content. As a sustainable business, video is your best marketing tool because guess what? It is sustainable! ⠀

So lets break this down then: how IS video sustainable?⠀
1) Video content involves ZERO use of paper. We can plan, script, film and edit with no paper products. And the final product is shared online (on your website, social media, Youtube, LinkedIn, etc.), so you are not printing promotional materials, such as flyers or newsletters, or even photographs from a photo session. We are keeping the planet clean by making your company a video business card instead of a physical business card, or an animated video ad instead of a printed promotional flyer. ⠀
2) Video is *virtual* so it can be changed on a dime with zero risk and high reward. Lets say you print a stack of 1,000 business cards to pass out to potential customers in the store. And then you notice a spelling error. Think of all the paper that was wasted. When you make a video, that spelling error can be changed so quickly, you won't even remember it was there in the first place.⠀

Think about additional ways in which your company can practice sustainability through video. What tasks can we automate for you, so that your company can take steps to a cleaner world? Maybe you have a memo that is printed every morning for your coworkers to read: can we make that into a video? Maybe you have a training booklet for new hires that you have to update every so often with new pages: can we make that into a video? Perhaps it's simply a training video to teach your employees about how they can be more mindful of sustainability in the office! The possibilities are endless and we cannot wait to embark on this journey with you!

Here’s the thing:
The opportunities for video for your business are ENDLESS 🎥 You might think you know what you want when you contact us, but it might not be what you NEED.

The difference between a video technician & a video strategist is this: a video technician can come to set and film what you ask them to film. A video strategist will work with you in tandem to figure out the best strategy for planning, filming and implementing your video content to help your business grow.

➡️ Swipe through to read about SOME of the types of videos we offer, but the sky is the limit. We want to tailor your video experience to YOU.

We offer all video services as in-person or virtual, and in addition to ⬆️ these examples, we offer social media video, event videography, behind the scenes, educational videos, origin story videos, etc.

so what are you waiting for? dm us and grab a free 30-minute consultation to chat about how we can grow your business through video today!

Do you know what you probably need?

A BRANDING VIDEO🎉

The best part is that the footage is timeless and can be repurposed into a video business card or social media content down the line!

💡GOOGLE KNOWS BEST!

Do you have a Google Business profile? First of all, we highly recommend signing up, even if you are service-based and do not have a location. If you sell a SERVICE and are looking for clients, it’s a great form of organic SEO.

Aside from your business credentials, guess what Google suggests you upload to your profile. A VIDEO 🎥

Google understands, just as we do at 11 O’Clock Creative, that video is the BEST way to show what makes your business unique, whether it’s service-based or product-based. You can TELL your story through words, you can SHOW through pictures, or you can do BOTH through video. Keep reading to find out our recommendation of what KIND of video to upload⬇️

The most stream-lined type of video we can suggest is a Video Business Card (swipe to slide 3 for more info if you still don’t know what that is). As a business owner, you NEED to show your face and you NEED to tell you story to get potential clients and customers invested in your business. As consumers, we are way more likely to buy from someone we trust. So instead of repeating your story a million times, why not embed it once in a beautiful video?

📷 Picture this: you create a Google Business profile, a potential customer searches an SEO keyword that lands them on your page, they click to your website. But who are you? What do you look like? Why should they invest in your services? They send an email that leads to a back and forth, which leads to a consultation, which leads to an eventual sales call and then they ghost you.

Now imagine you had a Video Business Card on your welcome page. They spend TWO MINUTES watching your story and they immediately know they want to work with you because they love your origin story and your energy. They go straight to your calendar and book an appointment (or consultation) with absolutely no time spent on your end to reel them in.

🎥 Being a videographer during a pandemic is NOT EASY! A majority of my work (75%) usually involves sales meetings, client chats over coffee, and in person shoot days in studios. Filming is a CLIENT-FACING job and nobody can contest that.

⏰Over the past few months, I’ve had to pivot into VIRTUAL PROJECTS and an extensive amount of creative editing. In January alone, we’ve edited three large scale projects and have been working on a series of “explainer videos” with a client as ongoing work. This is all done •through a computer screen• I get on Zoom with the talent and direct them through their tech set-up and script, then they transfer the footage and my team edits it together for the final product.

This is all to say, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! If you have an idea for your business that could benefit with video, or you have a problem that needs solving, don’t let the pandemic stop you! We all have to pivot to adapt to this new normal. And 11 O’Clock Creative is right there with you to figure out what works best.

✨ Bonus: we are booking LIMITED IN PERSON video & photo shoots starting February 15th. We have ONE more slot for February and TWO slots for March (depending on the scale of your project). Let’s chat about how we can work together! The sky is the limit!
