Fitness Trainer Discusses How She’s Using Video In Her Business

Deanne, founder and visionary of Liberation Spirit Wellness/Studio 13 Fitness Studio in New Orleans talks about her use of video on her website. Deanne’s share alot and we are thankful for her.

“I love using video on my site. It’s a teaching modality.  People are more visual.In the past 3 weeks I’ve gotten three calls from people searching Youtube for cycling and wellness.

What has attracted them to my services is the video. It’s been very helpful in answering the questions that they have. It also gives them an insight into the person their going to be working with.

I’m so excited about using video. It does the work for you before the client meets with you. The videos are wonderful. They’re on Youtube. They’re all over. People are looking for them and people are calling.”

Deanne has been using video on her site and in her OFFLINE business for the past year.  Remember, you don’t have to have an on-line business to use videos in the offline world.

The first thing most people do when they hear about you and your services or they want to find someone who has a service you want to provide is search in Google.

Ask yourself what you typically do when you’re looking for a new service provider. Do you seek references and what others are saying about the potential business on the web in Google or Yahoo.  Your clients are doing the same thing.

Video can enhance and literally quadruple your web presence in just a few easy steps. We can help.  Contact this New Orleans Web Site Designer and Marketer here and we’ll get started right away.

Who can use video for their business?  I would venture to say everyone. It doesn’t matter what your business or service or message is.  Everyone can find a way to use video inexpensively and simply. You don’t have to use Oscar winning video equipment or have access to excellent sound.  The internet audience and your potential clients are very forgiving.

Perhaps you are promoting an upcoming performance.  Why not use video to get the word out.  Have some of the cast talk about their roles in the performance.  Get your potential audience involved and engaged with the cast of the show before it even hits the stage. Get testimonials from the last show perhaps in a different city or get some folks to attend a dress rehearsal.

There are so many things you can do with video.  Check out the video below just to get some more ideas.

How much should you be paying for video production in your business?

It doesn’t have to cost alot, but you can spend a pretty penny depending on the amount of resources you use and your own skill set.

Here are just a few idea:

At a very minimum, you can simply take pictures of your business in action – you, your staff, your office, you consulting, happy clients, etc. You name it.

Then, create a slideshow of these pictures and add text to give potential clients information about your business.  This is a very inexpensive yet effective way to market your business with video.

Additionally, you probably have all the tools you need right now on our laptop or desktop computer whether you have a Mac or PC.

If you’ve got a little more cash to invest, grab a Flip camera and start shooting. It CAN be that easy. The Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder is the latest in the Flip camera series and does HD.  I have the original Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder and it has served me well.

The Flip is great for customer and client testimonials, on the fly video messages and even recording activities out and about.  You can really push the limits of the flip and use it for anything.

Depending on your message, you may want to edit the footage for the flip, but that’s for a discussion on another day. Editing can be a fairly easy task as long as we remember to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sweetie)

Lastly, you can always hire someone to do a professional shoot of you and your business. Refer back to our other Video Your Business Series post here on What You Should Video.
This will require planning and coordination, but if the video person knows what their doing, you can really do a lot with just an hours worth of video footage.

I personally shoot video for businesses quite often and it’s becoming a hallmark service. Check out our services here and grab our free case study series on video marketing for your business.

It’s important to not only shoot good video but know how to edit it for your short attention spanned internet audience and  potential clients and properly distribute your finished videos across the internet for the maximum amount of exposure.
