How will my company know that I am getting good value for my advertising dollar with VideoPages ?
VideoPages offers the convenience of a Web Analytics system, providing detailed tracking and metrics information. This feature-rich system provides each business everything it needs to determine the value and the return on investment of its VideoPages Business Listing.
Advertising dollars are at a premium. Can I test the VideoPages concept to see if it achieves my advertising objectives?
A Business Listing with VideoPages can be tailored to meet a variety of objectives, enabling you to choose the features and options that are relevant to your business. All packages have a very attractive price point that will easily fit within your advertising budget. Through the Analytics Module your business can measure and track the ROI of your listing. As your business needs change and evolve, upgrading your account to other packages is a simple and hassle-free process!
I want to develop a VideoPages listing for my business now, but the company will be expanding during the next 12-18 months. This includes new locations, and an increased product offering. How easy is it to make changes to my Business Listing once it has been posted, and what are the costs?
Each and every Business Listing can be modified and changed at a client's discretion. Additional costs are dependent upon the extent of the changes being made. For example, if the main video were to be changed, it would most probably require a re-shoot at an additional cost. However, if it's simply a matter of copy editing, new files being uploaded, or new photo(s) being added, there are no additional charges.
I am just starting my business. What do I do first - list with VideoPages or build a website?
There are distinct advantages to starting with a VideoPages listing. VideoPages can be set up very quickly and easily customized to suit your business. VideoPages takes advantage of 'new web media' by combining video with interactive promotion techniques. The interactive format will keep your customers engaged with your message and your products and services while a variety of features initiate a 'call to action' by the customer. With VideoPages you can measure the effectiveness of your advertising as it will automatically be fully optimized to take advantage of Google and other major search engines.
A website is, on the other hand, mostly static information. Once it is posted, changes and updates typically require the additional cost of a web developer. For seasonal businesses or a business that is expanding, information additions and changes will add to web site costs. Updates to a VideoPages listing, however, are so simple and easy to do that anybody can make changes without having to involve the experts!
Once you have VideoPages established and your web site developed, VideoPages will drive search engine traffic to your web site - ensuring your products and services are truly getting the "hits" they need for you to be successful online.
Do I need a Website AND a VideoPages listing?
A VideoPages business listing is a good first step. A web site would be the next logical step.
How will customers find my business on the Internet?
VideoPages ensures that each Business Listing is properly indexed by and optimized for Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft Live Search and other Search Engines, so that it is presented to customers who are searching for the products or services that you provide. Business Listings can be found through Search Engines as well as by using VideoPages own Search functionality.
Who provides the scripts for our Video promotion?
The best video scripts are those that are both informative and engaging! We can help you with script writing and editing to ensure that your copy translates well to the spoken word.
Does our spokesperson have to be the company president?
VideoPages online business directory is an invaluable tool for customer relationship management. As such, we believe your spokesperson should be an ambassador for your organization. An appropriate spokesperson could be yourself, your CEO, your Head of Sales, or even your company mascot. Whoever you choose, it should be someone your customers can engage and connect with both on and offline.
Once our spokesperson has recorded a video, how easy is it to update?
VideoPages uses green screen technology to record all spokesperson videos. This means that you can easily update the background for seasonal promotions, new product launches or re-branding. In addition, all supplementary contextual interactive components such as links, downloadable flyers, brochures and new products can be updated even more quickly and simply than a regular website.
My business is seasonal and when I promote and advertise it I want to reflect my products and services for each season. This can be cost prohibitive in certain types of advertising. Can I get the benefit of seasonal promotion easily and cost effectively if I advertise with VideoPages ?
Yes you can! With print media it is impossible to modify or change your message unless you run a reprint with significant additional costs. With VideoPages, all components of the business listing are modular in design and are easily amended as your requirements dictate. You may wish to change visual representation as the seasons change, to illustrate the full range of offerings to your customers. This is done by you, and is very easy to execute. Remember, you have full control over your Business Listing!
From time to time my store runs special promotions. Can I advertise these on VideoPages ?

These are customized for each business and are visually presented for easy access to customers when viewing your listing.
