Online advertising is supposed to be a great leveller. But what if you cant afford a big budget internet video advertising production? No problem. Make your own video ad instead!
DIY video advertising
Youll be surprised how many tools you already have that can easily be turned into an internet video. If youve got some time or an in-house resource, try some of these ideas:
1. Presentations
Even if you arent a regular public speaker, most businesses have at least one sales presentation. You might not think of them like this, but each page is actually a slide. This process is super easy for Powerpoint users. All you need do is open your presentation, SAVE AS *.jpg and ... presto ... youve got images to import into Movie Maker. From there, its as simple as pie to make a video ad from your very own presentation.
2. Stock shots
Unless youve got the dullest website on earth (in which case you probably arent considering internet video marketing anyway) youll have some images. You might even have a product image library, or at least photos of your business, staff, logo images etc. Any or all of these are fodder for creating an online video. In exactly the same way as you can with presentation images, just import to Movie Maker and away you go.
3. Online video maker
If you prefer to end up with a more professional looking video, try visiting a video maker site. Theres a few of these around that can take your image files or video grabs and turn them into an internet video for you. For example, Vuitlive is an online video advertising centre that provides the features youd find in a professionally produced TV commercial.
If you make your own video ad at Vuitlive, youll also be able to run a multi-media campaign. These ads come with mobile marketing add-ons like an IV barcode and SMS ready short URL.
