More and more people are seeing the need to put a video on their website. It is common knowledge among businessmen that a video on the web site increases the conversion rate of the site, which means more business and more bucks for the company. This increased return makes it worthwhile to spend some money to create the video. Professional production companies are happy to help meet businessman’s needs. For the few extra dollars it takes to create a web video the owner can expect an even greater return from his investment.

Any business owner will be better equipped to meet the challenge of creating a web video if he has an understanding of which type of videos are most effective in winning customers. If he makes the video himself, he will certainly need this information, and if he hires a professional, he will be in a better position to communicate his needs to the video production company. This is where it makes sense to learn from the professionals and examine the types of videos that video production companies put on their own sites. In this article, I will be examining the web video on the web site of Winmax Video of California, a producer of website videos, corporate video and other professional business videos.

Notice, right off, that the Winmax Video is placed towards the top of the page, towards one side, and in clear site of any surfer who reaches the site. This is appropriate placement of the video. It immediately alerts the visitor to the fact that there is a video, and he has a choice of listening to it or surfing the rest of the site.

Thirty seconds to slightly more than a minute is a good length for a video. Modern day, fast paced Internet surfers, want quick concise information.

Jumping to the video content, consider first the video intro. The video should capture the attention of the viewer. Thisone does by beginning with an explosive motion graphic, which is one way to attract audience attention. But even before the video starts, an attractive graphic embedded in the video area can give surfers a clue as to the content of the video. Immediately after attracting audience attention, the video must provide the viewer a reason to watch the rest of the video. Winmax adds a graphic of an intergalactic star cluster with a brief line of “interstellar” type electric synthesizer organ music. The clip suggests the cosmic importance of the work of their firm.

The body of the video should get right to the point. This video immediately introduces Winmax as a provider of video services for business, marketing, training and promotion. The narration is backed up by a caption of the company name in large gold letters, followed by a caption of each line of narration, which makes for easy listening.

Budget and intention permitting, body content can be backed up with graphics illustrating the points. It is important that the graphics do not in any way detract from the content of the video. If they can provide a little added spice to the content, a little enlivening of the day, then they have done their job.

A web video should conclude with a call to action. This video states: Contact us today and ask your Winmax representative how we can grow your business,” direct and to the point.

At the very end, the web video should present a caption containing the company name, location and contact information.
