The Problems with Online Video
If you’ve toyed with the idea of online video before, there are a few problems that you will probably have run into. The first is the cost; many companies charge thousands of pounds for video production alone which most small to medium sized businesses simply don’t have lying around. The second is quality; although there are plenty of video production companies out there, to be brutally honest, many of them have lost their way and offer boring, low quality, cheesy video productions that are seriously behind the times. The third problem is that you will probably wonder what you would do with a super expensive video production anyway. Most video production companies will do their bit and leave you to promote it on your own which often means that without dedicating a lot of time to promoting your video, your money will be mostly wasted.
We think that all of this is a huge problem as we know that online video is the most powerful way to communicate with your customers and market your business. So, here’s our solution…

Video Production from just £299
Because we think that every business should have an online video, we are proud to offer a video production for just £299! For this price you get a 60 – 90 professionally produced, engaging promotional video for your business but we haven’t stopped there; we actually promote your video online and get you customers too! Here’s exactly what we do for you:
The Video
We’ll give you a call or meet with you an discuss what message you’d like to send out with your video. You don’t have to work on a script or anything like that, just tell us what you would like to talk about and we’ll figure it all out. We will then shoot and edit your 60 – 90 second promo video. Our videography team will visit your business (at an arranged time) and record an interview with yourself and anyone else you’d like to have featured in your video. Your video will be in full HD and will look stunning!
The Marketing
Having a video is useless if you don’t do anything with it so we’ve solved this problem too. Basically, we will manage your videos online presence so you don’t have to lift a finger! Here’s what we’ll do with your video:

Add your video to VidLocal Sheffield (our Sheffield business directory)
Your video plus tonnes of details about your business will be added to our website (the VidLocal Sheffield business directory). Your page will include a description, video, photos, reviews, map, social media links, website link, address and more. Your page will be optimised for search engines so your video is found and get tonnes of views!

Host your video professionally
We use a professional video hosting service to host your video which gives you tonnes of benefits. You can embed your video in HD and there will be no YouTube (or any other site) branding on the video either.

Allow you to put your video on your website
We supply every customer with an embed code for their video which you can copy and paste into your website/blog or anywhere else on the web and show off your video. You can embed in full HD too!
Upload your video to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and other sites.
We want to maximise the impact of your video on the web so we will upload your video to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, TwitVid and more. This ensures that your video has a huge online presence and is anywhere your customers might be looking. It also ensures your video can be found on a Google Video search!
Share your video on Facebook and Twitter
We’re connected with 1000′s of people in the Sheffield/Chesterfield area on Facebook and Twitter and we’ll share your video with all of them. You can share your video too and we’ve optimised the pages on VidLocal so your video will be playable right from the Facebook news feed whenever it is shared. Social sharing alone led to over 700 views for the video we produced for a bar in Chesterfield in just a few days!
As you can see, we really get your video out there and we’ve plenty more tricks up our sleeve too!

How can we offer all of this for such a low price?
There’s no doubt that all of this would be fantastic when it comes to marketing your business and there’s also no doubt that this would usually cost ££££’s! So how are we able to offer it for such a low cost?
The reason we can do this is because we combine professional video production with marketing. We therefore work on the same kind of business model as well known sites like Yell.com or TouchLocal etc.
This means that we require an upfront payment of £299; this covers the initial costs to produce your video. After this, we will charge a small monthly fee to cover professional hosting and all of our other online marketing efforts. We sign you up for 12 months and if you find that our marketing is serving you well (which we know it will!) then you can continue paying for our services after that period. If not, you can keep your video production and do with it whatever you like! We won’t take a penny more from you!
The monthly fee that we charge varies slightly from business to business (depending on online competition etc) but never goes into triple figures! This makes our marketing equal or less than the cost of a small newspaper ad each month which in this day and age is often pointless!
