Key Points To A Service Business’s 2-3 Minute Introductory Video
Why Are People Visiting Your Service Business Website? Depending on what your company specializes in, it is either to avoid some sort of problem or loss, like a roof leak or to gain pleasure such as installing a pool in the backyard.
Most Service Businesses Exist To Solve Some Sort Of A Problem: Your firm’s video should start by identifying the problem the potential customer may have as it relates to your business services and the solution to the problem. For example: Is your roof leaking? Or, do you need windows replaced?
Now That You Have Identified The Problem, You Must Provide The Solution. Your solution is not about your business, your solution is the way you solve the customer’s problem. The more unique your solution the better.
Add A Testimonial Or Success Story To Add Credibility: Having someone else say how great your company is, has much more impact on a viewer than if you said it. If a real customer says it, it sounds natural and more important, believable.
The Final Step And The Most Important, A Call To Action: You need to tell the customers what to do next, they may not do it at that very moment, however, you have educated them to know what they need to do when they are ready.
Focus On The Needs Of Your Customer And Know That People Do Not Care About Your Service Business: What clients care about is solving their problem. It is also important to make sure the video features real people. You also need to humanize your firm because people want to do business with real people.
