Web Video, Pieces of String & Common Sense

Posted by:

So, you’ve decided you need video.
Great!
That’s one of the things 4th Mesa Productions does well.

So you pick up the phone….

It happens a lot.
Don’t get me wrong; I love what I do and I love helping clients achieve results.
But this particular phone call drives me nuts.
It goes something like this.

My business wants a video made. How much are they?

Well, that depends on a number of factors, I say.

And then I launch into a spiel that’s part information, part Q&A about the client’s needs and, yes, part frustration.
Frustrating for me.
And for the client.

Look, I understand the question.
You’ve decided on video to help get your message out there and most of the time that’s a valid choice.
But how did you decide?
And why
did you decide on video?
And what, precisely, is it’s aim?
What, precisely, will it show?
And many more questions that should have been asked before the decision to go ahead.

Somewhere along the line, didn’t you consider that not all videos are created equal?

It’s the old how long is a piece of string? thing.

Let me put it this way.
If I rang a car yard and said, I want a new vehicle. How much are they?, most people would think I was naive at best.
Or that I hadn’t given the purchase much thought.
Or worse.
Yet that’s essentially the attitude this one simple question betrays.
What then does it say about your advertising/marketing strategy?
Shouldn’t it all work together, in synergy?
