I’m in the process of finding a solution of uploading the WHOLE of the presentation on the web right now, but as you can imagine, at 48 minutes, its a fairly hefty file size!

Its a no brainer – video content can enhance your website, and keep your viewers engaged for longer.

But which “type” of video is right for YOUR business?

I have put together the top ten ideas for the different types of online video for business websites. All the videos in this post have been filmed and produced by Me!

1.  A Personal Introduction

People engage with real people. Your personality is now crucial for your busines succeess, so consider a short “introduction” video of yourself.

2. Professional Website Presenter

In the corporate world where professionalism is crucial, then use a trained actor to deliver your message.

3.  Product Demonstration

If you sell products in your business, then a simple demonstration video is far more effective than photos and text descriptions.

4.  Client Testimonial/Client Case Study

Your satisfied customers or clients can sell your products or services far more effectively than you can ever do!

5. Deliver A Presentation

A video of your  presentation will encourage more people to book you. You could train and educate people by hosting your “whole presentation”, or create a “teaser” video to use a promotional tool.

6. Business Premises Tour

Moved into a new and improved business premises? then a Business Premises video tour is an excellent choice for a website video.

7. 3D Motion Graphics

Bring your 2D images into the world of 3D and you will have a whole new refreshing way of showcasing your services or deliver your message.

8. Recording an Event

A video of an event, captures the moment in motion.  It can record peoples thoughts and feelings much more than a photo can ever do and give you a lasting memory to share with your viewers forever.

9. E-Learning/Online Training

Screencasting is the term used for recording of your computer screen. If you have a complex software package, or some killer tips and tricks to show people, then this type of video is a MUST for your business.

10. Tourism/Holiday Destination Video

You’ve seen them littered all over the web.. scathing holiday reports on false promises from holiday companies, hotels, caravan parks or B&Bs. With video, your visitors will SEE the real deal.

Last night found me filming at the lovely venue of Cooks Barn in Bottisham for Ann Hawkins monthly Inspired group meeting. Andy Gibney was in the building and he certainly made his “mark” with his own unique style of presentation. Im sure this video is part of the evening that most people will remember, but Andy had the whole group involved in lots of audience participation and also shared some great nuggets of advice of self help in the business world. I will be working on another “hight lights” clip of Andys full presentation in the next few days so subscribe to this blog if you want to be kept up to date!
