How to Tell If Your Business Video Feels Outdated
Dallas things happen fast. New products and promotions are introduced all the time. It's almost hard to keep up at times. Videos you made could feel outdated already if it's the next day. During this time of year businesses are working towards their goals for the year and you never know when you'll click play and feel that way. Perhaps the messaging isn't right or it just doesn't feel as new as it used to.
Change can happen so quickly. You may have changed your business message or better defined your brand over the past few months and your videos aren't telling that story. Having someone that knows what your video should be telling will allow you to make those changes before your presentation feels old. Dallas video companies can help with that.
Your Message Feels Off or Out of Date
Once your message isn't being delivered correctly people will struggle to relate to your videos. It could be that your message has changed or maybe you added some new things to your business that you no longer offer. Either way you'll want to make sure your videos are conveying the correct message.
As we get closer to the holidays this can become an issue. You may have a video that was shot during the beginning of the spring and is full of sunshine. By the end of November many Dallas residents will be looking forward to the new year. They may be preparing to purchase holiday gifts or trying to meet goals they've set for themselves that year. Your video won't be able to convey that.
You may have old information that no longer pertains to your business. People can pick up on things that feel old and your video may seem less relevant. When this occurs they are more likely to tune out.
The Visual Quality Doesn’t Hold Up
Video technology has come a long way. There are so many examples of bad quality video these days. Shaky camera work, too dark, too much grain. Many people can relate to seeing these types of videos. Whether they were created recently or years ago it gives the impression your business didn't put much effort into creating your video.
The image will play a big role in most cases. Poor lighting or images that were once considered high quality will start to look cheap. If your video features wide angles it will look outdated. People in Dallas have grown used to better imagery on their phones.
Using certain locations will date your video as well. Dallas videos often show landmarks such as the city skyline and popular park areas. Once those locations start to evolve with buildings and new colors your video will begin to look outdated. If you don't want your video to appear nostalgic make sure to be aware of this.
At Kinter Media we use the latest camera technology and offer location scouting to ensure your videos are up to date with the latest Dallas scenery.
Viewers Aren’t Engaging Like They Used To
There are many factors to why people may stop clicking or watching your videos. Your click through rate, number of comments and amount of time spent watching a video can give you this information. If your video was getting good views previously but has decreased it could be because your video has become outdated. People's minds will drift when they aren't intrigued with a subject matter.
It isn't just the topic but how you present your topic. Editing your video with captions or effects can help keep people's attention span on your video. If people aren't interested they will click away from your video, which leads to less watch time and less engagement on your video after it is published.
By working with a Dallas video production company you can help keep your content up to date. We can edit your videos to grab people's attention and help your video perform as it did in the past. It may be something as simple as editing your video with newer effects.
It Doesn’t Match the Rest of Your Branding
Have your colors changed? Have you changed your logo? Changed how you talk or the message you're sending out? Yes, these things play into your brand's image. Not only does your business have a name, it also has a style. Whether it's the way you sound, speed and even background music. All can play a role when representing your business.
There are many brands in Dallas that will change their images throughout the seasons. Your web page, advertisements and social media may all be showing that it's fall. But if your video is still selling spring, it will show. Not just from an aesthetic view point. The way your talent speaks and background music. Even the flow of your shots.
Make sure your videos align with what you are currently selling as a business. So your customers know what you're selling and believe what you're saying. Keep it all consistent.
