Leading Video Production Company Introduces Affordable Online Video for Small Businesses

Online, November 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Promo Video Production, an industry leader in multimedia production and duplication services since 1979, announces the launch of a new division specializing in the production of promotional online videos for small business websites.

Company founder and owner, Dave Price, says, "The demand is growing fast. Most businesses today--even solo entrepreneurs--have websites and engage their customers through social media like Facebook. And now they also realize just how important video is in the online market place. People love video."

Traditionally and historically, businesses have poured huge marketing budgets into paid advertising with a short shelf life. This means spending money on the same thing over and over again. By contrast, a well-made video costing as little as $300 to produce can be posted and widely distributed on the Internet for free, reaching millions of prospective customers.

Two popular formats for online video are "voice-over-slides" and "shot-on-location." In the former, the business owner (typically) provides images and the production team creates a script and edits the still shots together with narration, music, and text to tell an effective story or convey a compelling message. For the shot-on-location format, a Promo Video crew goes to a company's place of business and shoots a video on location often showcasing the owner and the staff. Once edited into a finish product, the online viewer gets a "look-inside" a business before they ever pick up the phone or walk through the door. Promo Video also offers Green Screen and other in-studio options.

Promo Video and its award-winning team of videographers and video editors, are the production ninjas behind such famous and iconic figures as the Scrubbing Bubbles. Corporate clients over the years have included ING Direct, SC Johnson, Aircell, Gino's Pizza, The Girl Scouts of America, and many more.

"This new service is designed to be affordable and accessible for any small business," says Price. "We will always take good care of our large corporate clients--of course--but the online world is ripe and ready now for the kind of video that showcases what small businesses and solo entrepreneurs are doing in this country. This new venture is all about giving small and medium-sized businesses a way to grow and reach new markets cost effectively."

Price adds, "The stats tell the story...62% of Americans are watching videos online, and YouTube is reporting 1 billion hits per day." He continues- "The benefits of a web video are huge; from adding depth to a company's image to positioning the owner as an expert in his or her field. People mine the Internet every minute, to find what they are looking for. Online video is 'gold' for a business today."

In addition to video production, Promo Video provides top-quality duplication and transfer service from film, audio tape, and CD to digital media formats. Clients for these services range from families and individuals wanting to preserve heirloom memories, to non-profit organizations, educational institutions, corporations and government offices.
