What is a "VideoPage"?
A VideoPage is an online video advertisement (hosted at videopages.com) that offers your customers a better choice for finding you and learning about your business. You get to show the world your business, your premises and how you work, and include a link to drive pre-qualified traffic to your website.
How will a VideoPage benefit my business?
Video ads created and hosted by VideoPages reach a worldwide base of viewers and engage them in ways unmatched by conventional paper directories or listings. The results are lucrative. Viewers find high quality information in less time, while participating businesses thrive from increased traffic by searchers looking for the products and services they offer.
How easy is it to sign up?
Depending on your package preference, there are 2 ways to sign up:
• Do-it-Yourself packages - simply sign-up online.
• Contact one of our Advertising Sales Representatives to get started today or to have your questions
answered. Or if you prefer, have us contact you by sending your contact information through our online form.
How and where is the video made?
Business Advantage and Business Advantage Plus videos are filmed at your location for your convenience. You are completely guided through an interview style format (Q&A).
For Corporate Advantage videos, our writers craft the perfect script to make an impact. Filmed in one of our state-of-the-art green screen studios, your video is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
You will receive full guidance and direction from a producer on all the things you should know prior to the date of your video shoot, including:
• Who will be interviewed on-camera?
• What additional elements should be featured?
• Where is the best location to shoot the video?
• When will the video shoot be taking place?
• Why is your business so interesting and unique?
You will receive a simple checklist to help you to be prepared and ready.
What if we don't have anyone who wants to be on camera?
-
If you are not comfortable on camera, a lead member of your staff could be the right solution. Someone you feel confident in representing your business, products and services.
Another solution is to simply provide answers to questions being asked by the videographer about your business, and request that mostly background footage (filmed while at your business) be featured in the video.
This allows you to still control the story and message without having to actually be featured on-camera for the full video shoot.
Optionally, our Photo Showcase uses only music with photos, so no video recording is needed. Keep in mind though, in order to have the most connection with your customers, and to make the most impact - there's nothing like the power of video, but video!

What is the advantage of a VideoPage if my business already has a website?
-
VideoPages helps drive pre-qualified traffic to your home page or other important pages of your website through short, easy to read labels!
Additionally, it provides potential customers "more ways to find you" then just relying on your own website. Think of it as having more "lines in the water" working for you.
Is a website a prerequisite to having a VideoPage?
No, VideoPages can be your online presence, driving traffic directly to your business!
Why can't we just get a video for our existing website?
-
Having video on your own website comes with its own set of challenges. Does it slow down your main server... and is your server equipped to handle video? Who will maintain it? If traffic to your own site is low now, then why will having a video on it make it any different tomorrow?
Additionally, you would miss the opportunity to sell your services to customers who are searching on VideoPages directly, or who come in from major search engines looking for other products and services and then discover you!
Can the VideoPage be linked to a Facebook or Twitter account?
We provide easy sharing connectivity to the most popular social media services today. Also, we have made it really easy for customers to share your VideoPage with their friends and associates directly through our own integrated share platform!
