The first type of video many companies start with is a testimonial video.
Testimonial videos are a great way to speak directly to your customers. They provide you with a shameless opportunity to promote your business and its mission, and allow you to get your message across in a clear and concise way. When you create a testimonial video, remember to not make it too long; two to three minutes is long enough. Humans have a short attention span, and you need to work to reach people in the shortest time possible.
Testimonial videos help build trust, exposure, and credibility for your company. These types of videos allow you to easily explain the features and benefits of your company and its products or services in detail.
When creating your testimonial video, remember these 5 best practices…
- Be clear and concise
- Make sure the video scene has the proper light, not too dark and not too bright – soft light is always best
- Sound – ambient sound can wreck even the best video. Speaker should be heard over, clear and strong
- No camera shake. Using a tripod is very helpful to provide a professional looking video
- Practice the message. Be confident in your delivery
