Updating Your Brand? Don’t Forget Video Too

We recently had the pleasure of assisting one of our long-time clients in refreshing their brand. Included in that process was updating their staff photos and obtaining new video footage to be used for their website and various marketing materials.As marketers, we can’t stress it enough how important it is to keep your photos and video footage current. When someone views your website and marketing materials, they should get a true look into your company and know exactly what to expect.

The Dynamic Marketing Consultants team flew on site to Texas to meet with the team at Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock. We were there to advise and assist with their photoshoot and take the lead on capturing their new video footage.

We began working on the video strategy long before we flew to Texas. In order to properly strategize, we first had to understand how the videos would be used, who the audience is and in what formats the videos would be used. All of this helps our film team properly plan the perfect way to film; how long the videos should be, what angle to shoot, etc. With all of those particulars in mind, we were then able to create the storyboard sand write the scripts. With the help of everyone at Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock, we filled in the missing pieces of industry specific lingo and decided what call-to-action would be used. In this case, we also received full translations for the videos as we would be filming in Spanish as well.

The most exciting part of the process was filming. We arrived on set with our DSLR cameras, wireless microphones,and lighting equipment. Our team helped break down the script to make it as easy as possible for the person being filmed. The most beneficial part about being in person and on set during the film process is that we are able to provide immediate feedback to make sure we capture the best, highest quality footage. Once we capture that footage, our video experts finalize the video,making any edits, adding music, b-roll,and other finishing touches.

From start to finish, the film process is very detailed and catered exactly to what our client’s needed. Video is a great asset to have in your marketing toolbox and can be used on your website and social media. DMC takes it one step further and can even help you add video to your printed marketing materials with products like video books and video brochures. Ready to learn more? Contact us today.

Why Business Cards Still Matter

Most everything we do in business today is digital, from signing contracts to attending meetings. With most business being done online, you may question if business cards still matter. The truth is that business cards are one aspect of business that will not be fully replaced by digital marketing anytime soon.

Here are 4 reasons why the “old school” business card is still so important to your company:

1. Business cards make networking personal

Networking is all about making a genuine connection with another person. While virtual networking has been successful in expanding business people’s networking circles, it hasn’t surpassed the face-to-face networking method of creating business relationships. Sending your contact information online may be convenient, but it is very impersonal. Strong, lasting relationships are created by engaging in eye contact and actual conversation. Giving a business card, and the in-person encounter that comes with it, will create a significant memory.

2. Business cards remain the most effective direct marketing tool

While email marketing and paid media do a great job attracting leads, they aren’t as effective as an in-person meeting along with a business card exchange. Think about it- you’re far more likely to ignore an email that prompts you to contact a business than you are to ignore a person who just gave you their information. Plus, you can encounter a potential contact or lead at any time – happy hour, an airplane – being prepared with a business card at all times will ensure you never miss an opportunity to make a business connection. Unlike digital, business cards are never inaccessible because of internet outages.

3. Business cards put a face to your business

A business card will serve as the first impression of your brand. The goal should be to make a memorable first impression. A successful business card does more that just list your contact information, it creates a connection to your business. Plus, a business card can act as a great ice breaker, to lead into a conversation with a potential lead. Your unique business card will fuel your conversation even further.

4. Business cards show you’re prepared

Having unique and professional business cards will cue potential leads that you are part of a legitimate business and will do right by them. Think about this- if you met two new people and one was writing their contact information on a cocktail napkin while the other person simply pulled out their business card, who would you want to do business with? Showing you’re always prepared is an excellent indicator that you’re professional.
