Kick it Up a Notch with a Pre-Event Video!
An increasing number of clients are looking for a short little video to promote their event, and Jim has been delivering!
Jim films for his client a custom pre-event video, which is then set to Hollywood-style production values with his overseas video producer, Armine Simonyan.
During the day, she’s a Television LiveNews broadcasting specialist based in Russia, including various overseas version of Deal No Deal, Dancing with The Stars and many other popular shows – and at night she does freelance work for Jim!
Here’s a little bit more insight on what’s involved:
- the client gets a professionally produced pre-event video in digital format
- it’s short (<2:20), designed for sharing on Twitter, Facebook and other social media promotional channels
- it’s proven to drive event registration: both SAP and Siemens ended up with oversold events
- Jim consults with the client on the key message for the video, and then films his message in his home green-screen studio
- the raw video is sent to his overseas video producer for production into a highly polished, professional video with a powerful message
- delivery time is approximately 2 weeks.
- a minimal cost investment for Jim’s overseas producer of $1,000 gets the client a pre-event video that will “wow” their attendees and drive attendance for your event
Check the numerous videos which Jim provided to other clients – you’ll be convinced this small investment will provide massive dividends!
Driving Attendance and Registrations!
The key goals of your client is to drive attendance, get event registrations happening, and build some buzz! Watch these pre-event videos Jim prepared for several clients which did exactly that!
Deliver a Message Before the Meeting!
Get people thinking about the issues in the room, before they get into the room! These videos were distributed to attendees in advance of an internal global leadership meeting.
