One 30-second video has the potential to create a customer for life, or -conversely -a hater that will plague you with negative comments and bad word-of-mouth. Small businesses must learn to properly utilize videos to market their products or services on the web. These same videos can also be used in offline and online branding, sales, marketing and PR strategies. A great video will pay off ten-fold. Join our BrainTrust with Peter Breslow for a presentation of tips and tricks and a discussion on what works and what doesn't. Sure, not every web video you shoot on your iphone will end up being the next Doritos ad, but a few hundred -or even a few thousand -views can lead to some serious moola for your business.
