WHY VIDEO MARKETING IS SO HOT

You can use your videos on your website, in social media, as YouTube ads, on your TV in your waiting room, in email marketing, in video signage, or anywhere else a video can be displayed. And in all those instances, the viewer is learning about why they should choose you as their service provider.

Video has the ability to capture a client’s interest to the point that they tune everything else out. That fixated attention is extremely valuable. You can make an indelible mark on their minds and convince them that when they decide to buy a service you offer, YOU are going to be the one they choose.

We build websites that rock! But the roll comes when we add our custom videos. Landing pages with video can show an 80% increase in conversion. Just think of your own experience. Are you more likely to buy a product or service if you see a relevant video that impresses you and answers your questions?

People trust brands simply because they have been exposed to them. It is a psychological phenomenon known as the “mere-exposure effect” and refers to people’s tendency to prefer things they are familiar with. Use this to your advantage! LUMN videos will help you build familiarity and trust with your current and potential clients.

WELCOME VIDEO

Your Welcome Video will be a potential client’s introduction to your business. We include flattering shots of the business and team helping clients. We include authentic, heart-warming testimonials from your grateful clients. We love to show epic snippets of your local landmarks and scenery to associate you and your business with things your potential clients are already familiar with and adore. And, we are especially fond of humanizing business ownders by featuring moments of them outside the office.

service videos

Almost every business we work with has as one of its biggest goals to attract more high-value services. These services are often competitive keywords online and business owners have to put up their digital dukes against each other to win that revenue. Getting a consumer to click on your link to learn about said high-value service is one thing. Convincing that potential client to call you instead of the other three practices they are considering? That’s another thing. Service videos give people the answers they want in the way they want. The result? You’re now at the top of the option list.

testimonial videos

Social proof is awfully-compelling evidence for consumers. It’s the old “if everyone else is doing it, I should too” routine. Turn this powerful subconscious impulse to your advantage with genuine, moving testimonials from your actual clients.

team photos

Because we’ll be on site already with the lights and equipment, we are going to knock out some beautiful headshot photos for you and your team at the same time. This makes things crazy convenient for you and puts a fresh set of photos in your marketing lineup. This is just an extra splash of value we’re thrilled to throw in for you..

the LUMN VIDEO CREATION PROCESS

The below steps will answer most of your questions about the video shoot specifics. We’ll capture other questions you probably have in the FAQ section below.

1. Scheduling & Coordination

After you authorize the shoot, one of our videography team members will reach out to you to nail down the best days and times for you. (Usually we schedule a Thursday–Friday shoot and try to book it at least 4–6 weeks in advance.) We will also coordinate logistics and shoot locations in advance so we can burst onto your scene, cameras ready.

2. Travel

Our videographer will usually arrive the evening before your shoot to get that beautiful B-roll you see in our videos. We will have the whole shoot wrapped up by the middle of the second scheduled shoot date and then fly out that afternoon/evening. Details about travel arrangements will be covered on your consult and follow-up calls.

3. In-Office Footage

The first day of the shoot is in the office and it is business as usual. We want to capture organic interactions between your team and your clients. We will only need to pull the business owner aside for about 45 minutes to interview them. Don’t worry—no scripts to memorize here. We have a very comfortable interviewer format that elicits great responses from the interviewee which we can cut up into a smooth narrative in post-production.

4. Outside Office Footage

This is often the fun part of the shoot for business owners and their families. We’ve captured amazing footage of our clients racing cars, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, mountain climbing, and even just having a bbq in the backyard. The purpose here is to capture footage that shows the human side of the business owner so people can relate to them.

5. Post-Production

A typical shoot generates literally hundreds of video clips. This ensures that we have plenty of great footage to work with. Our videography team will then take all the footage from your shoot and skillfully assemble the best shots. During this stage we never lose sight of the objective: creating the most stunning and compelling videos possible.

6. Edits

We usually nail the first pass of video creation but we account for edits that might need to be made. We will send you the videos so you can make sure everything is correct. Once you submit your change requests, we will edit the footage and export the final videos.

7. Final Delivery

You own the videos we produce for you. Feel free to use them on your awesome website (which we built for you, of course), in your office, on social media, or wherever else. We will also give you access to download all of the footage from the shoot so you can have it on hand. You should have the final files from your shoot within six weeks of the on-site shoot.

FAQs ABOUT OUR VIDEO PACKAGE

Who owns my videos and photos when they’re completed?

You do! Your footage and finished videos are your intellectual property (though we do ask you to let us show them off). Enjoy! You don’t have to pay us license fees to use your videos or photos whenever and wherever you want. How nice is that?

Also, because you have access to the raw footage, you can assemble it however you want. Some of our clients love the family footage they get. Have at and make your own family/lifestyle video with the premium footage we give you. We would just recommend that you leave the professional, business-promoting video creation to us.

Can you just edit footage I have taken to make videos?

No. We have a standard of quality we want to meet on all of our projects and it’s difficult to do that when we don’t have control over the entire process. Occasionally it makes sense to insert a clip you made yourself, but that is the exception. For example, we have a client who won the MLB world series and has footage of him at bat. Yeah. . . we can’t go back in time and get different shots of that event, and it is too awesome to leave out of the video.

What should I do to prepare for my video shoot?

Our videographers do most of the heavy lifting (literally!) for the shoot. Your assigned videographer will coordinate the logistics of your shoot with you directly. Any specific items needed from you for the shoot will be planned and discussed during that coordination.

What business disruption should I expect during the video shoot?

We have perfected the video shoot process over the last several years. We can get in and out with next to no inconvenience to you over the course of the shoot. Business as usual. During this time, we will capture all the dynamic footage we need to make incredible videos for you (that live up to the LUMN name). In many instances, you will not have to alter your schedule AT ALL. We will only need a little space to set up cameras and lights for interviews and maybe a seat at your team lunch. Some clients barely even notice our videographers are there during the work day.

What disruption should I expect outside the business during the video shoot?

This is the really fun part. Plan on showing us what you love, who you love, and where you spend your free time. We love to get amazing footage of you enjoying your hobbies (with your family or friends where possible).

We’ve shot things like cross-country skiing in Alaska, dirt-biking in Utah, yoga on a paddleboard in South Dakota, ice-fishing in Michigan, raising aid puppies in Texas, surfing in California, and almost any other hobby you can think of. We find that our clients are THRILLED with this kind of footage because not only does it communicate the human side of you to your clients, it captures beautiful moments of things that you love doing. Think about it. You have a professional videographer capturing you relish in your favorite hobbies and with your favorite people. This is footage you will cherish.

Does LUMN provide the video scripts?

A huge reason LUMN videos are so effective (and admired) is because they’re not scripted. LUMN videos are known for feeling natural, comfortable, and conversational. Potential clients respond warmly to our videos because they feel that the business they’re watching is being authentic, and that they aren’t reciting a canned script. To achieve this, we have a structured way in which our videographers lead the interviews with both you and your current clients. This process elicits fantastic and genuine clips that we can then piece together to create amazing final videos.

How do I schedule my shoot?

Ready to schedule? Fantastic! Schedule a consult using the orange button and we’ll get you booked. Keep these things in mind when scheduling your shoot:

We typically encourage a business to book their shoot at least six weeks in advance of their desired shoot date.

The shoot typically spans two days (usually a Thursday and Friday). We can be flexible with the shoot days to accommodate special events or atypical schedules.

Make sure the days you select actually work. If you have to reschedule, we are happy to work with you, but we don’t want you to lose money on nonrefundable travel.

Remember the old adage, “measure twice, cut once?” In this case it is “check your schedule twice, book once.”

What if I want more than the standard video package?

No problem. Many businesses have us shoot extra videos while on location because incremental videos are discounted.
