• A common query that comes up is, “Why should I invest in professional video production with The Joy Collective when I could just hire someone on Fiverr to do it for $500?”
• My typical response is: “You're free to choose what works best for your video marketing strategy. However, could you share a bit about that strategy so I can tailor my advice to your needs?”
• More often than not, the room goes silent.
• While budget-friendly, low-quality video production has its place (which we'll explore later in this post), if you’re serious about long-term business growth in Birmingham and beyond, it shouldn’t be your go-to option.
• Are you offering a high-end product or service?
• Most entrepreneurs don't start a business intending to offer subpar service at rock-bottom prices. Like me, you probably aim to serve your clients effectively and provide the best service possible. To achieve this, every interaction a customer has with your business must reflect quality.
• Imagine dining at a restaurant where the food is mediocre at best, the staff is unfriendly, and the ambiance is lacking. Even if the food was decent and affordable, you likely wouldn't return.
• Similarly, low quality at any customer touchpoint, including videos, can harm your business's credibility. It gives customers the impression that you’re not invested in their success. Moreover, a low-quality video may fail to accurately convey your core values or services and lack the strategic approach required. If you're a premium provider, you need premium video content.
• When does budget video make sense?
• If you're looking to build a low-cost brand that might not last or generate significant profits, budget video might be your best bet. It will keep your costs down since you're not aiming for high profits. You'll get more video content, although at the cost of quality. But, if you're reading this, I suspect that's not your objective.
• The Value of High-Quality Video
• To put it briefly, here are some attributes a high-quality video produced by The Joy Collective will have that a low-quality video won't:
• A cohesive strategy that leads to clear ROI or brand recognition.
• Psychological techniques that encourage your Ideal Customer to invest.
• Clear and crisp HD or 4K video, shot and edited by professionals who know how to make your brand shine.
• Clear and crisp sound that draws in an audience.
• Carefully crafted storytelling that fosters an emotional connection with your audience, creating brand advocates.
• And much more!
• In many instances, video content is the first interaction potential clients have with your business. They've searched for your service, landed on your website, and watched the first video they see to decide whether to explore further. What's the value of having that lead call you immediately for a consultation because they were so impressed with your video? It's immeasurable.
• So, when considering video production in Birmingham, remember that quality matters. The Joy Collective is here to help you create impactful visual narratives that foster connection, build trust, and drive sales for your business.
