Why should my business get professional photos? What's the return on investment?

Companies should get professional photos for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, professional photos help to present a polished and professional image of the company to potential customers and clients. They can be used on the company's website, marketing materials, and social media channels to create a strong and consistent visual brand identity. Professional photos can also be used to showcase products and services, as well as to depict the company's team members, which can help to build trust and credibility with potential customers. Additionally, professional photos can be used in press releases, on company brochures and other printed materials, and in advertising campaigns. Overall, professional photos can play a crucial role in building a company's brand and reputation.

In addition to helping to establish a strong visual brand identity and building trust and credibility with potential customers, professional photos can also be used to convey important information about a company's products or services. For example, high-quality product photography can showcase the features and benefits of a product, while professional photos of a company's team members can provide a sense of the company's culture and values.

Furthermore, professional photos can be used to create a sense of personality and character for a company. This can be done through creative and visually striking images that stand out and grab attention. This can also be achieved by using professional photos that depict real-life scenarios, such as customers using a product or service, which can create an emotional connection with the audience.

In summary, professional photos can help to establish a strong visual brand identity, build trust and credibility, convey important information about products or services, and create a sense of personality and character for a company. They are an essential part of a company's overall marketing strategy, and can help to drive sales and attract new customers.

The New Site

We’ve updated our site and have a new direction for the blog. Moving forward, we’re going to talk about the projects that we’ve been working on and what we’re doing to move forward with them. A lot of our video projects have a large number of moving pieces. This week, we’re working on a few interesting things.

Barberton, Ohio has a chance to win a large grant as an “All American City”. In this, we are working with the School system, the City, and Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority to create a short video that will help them in their bid to win the grant. It’s an exciting project for a city that does so much. We’ll update you with a link when it becomes available.

Showing your strength

Marketing your strengths sounds simple...but is it?

Yes, but let’s talk about making sure that you stay on track with it.  

During a consulting session with a client this week, that became the topic of discussion as we were working on a future marketing plan for them.   They’re rapidly growing and have a great path ahead of them. As they start to build their web presence, I began to find that the focus of their future marketing plan was on products.   This is a great area for them to expand into and they have some great items to work with, but it wasn’t how they built their business to this point. In this, I asked, “What’s the thing that you guys are known for? What do you do better than anyone else?”    
“Our service is what we’re known for.   We do things that other places can’t or won’t.”

Our discussion immediately changed.  We spent the rest of the conversation working towards a marketing and web plan that includes parts, but it focused on what they do the best, and where they make their money…Service!   This is a talented group and we’re really excited to help them “show off” a bit.

When working with you, we want to make sure that we help to show where you’re the best, how you’re different, and why you’re the best value for your customers.   Creating that value is how you find new customers, and why the old ones stay with you time and time again.

Let us know what you do the best in the comments!   Have you stuck with that plan? We want to hear your stories!
