Does video work?

We study marketing a lot over here and put a lot of work into it, especially our promo videos. Most companies don’t make a promos everything but I’ve always felt it’s important. I thought we could  share and maybe learn something about how to reach our customers better.

Does it matter, do people watch the videos or do they just read the copy? Honestly we agonize over promos here. Everything from the soundtrack to the humor. For example we started including outtakes because some people thought I was a bit too intense and artsy. It’s fun, but it’s something we use for balance.

We decided we to make two promo videos for the new Nitty Gritty collection. So first, which video is better? Second, do product videos effect how you buy? After that, let’s talk. Comment and tell us more. Do you make promo videos of your work? How would you do things differently? Let’s share some ideas that we can all use.

Tun into our Facebook page next week and I’ll share results on what worked here and why we did it.

Thanks for taking part. As a bonus we extended the $50 off deal on Nitty Gritty for another day. Get them here.

We’ve filmed this video various times over the past decade. This is is the best yet. Let’s talk about installing and managing Photoshop Actions. I won’t waste a lot of text there, the video says its best. — Gav

In this weeks video I’m in white sands with the family and we’re going to talk about how light reflects and how those reflections can trick us. What we think is not always what actually is in photography and if you know how light moves, we will be able to catch it.

Sorry for the lower definition video. For some silly reason it did not save the HD. But the concept comes across anyways. Watch the video and let me know if the comments things about light that have tricked you. — Gav

With great releases like Alchemist and Natural HDR 2, 2016 was a great year thanks to you. We have bright ideas for making 2017 better, but I wanted to give you direct input into our development this year by asking what you would like to see us make here at Seim Studios.

You can choose your top 2 from this poll and let us know what you would like to see. If there’s something you need a solution for that’s not on this list, just shoot us an email @ effects@seimstudios.com so we can consider it for a future release.
