You're not inventing the wheel here. In considering video production for your company, many have traveled down the same path. We share with you what kinds of videos have succeeded. Each company is unique, has a unique story to tell, which can be told in a company overview. Do you tell your story through interviews? Do you need a sales pitch? Will a product overview be more appropriate." You'll learn about all these types of videos and more, then apply them to the questions you answered in Chapter 1 to develop a plan for your business.
Chapter 3: A Discussion of Where and How to Use Business Video
Finding the right platforms to connect these videos with your target audience is the next step in the planning process. Do you need to share information with your stockholders?
