Q: Why do I need a video?
76% of all Internet users watch video regularly, and that share will increase to over 80% by the end of 2010. And with most consumers watching videos online to make buying decisions, you almost can’t afford not to have a video. Simply put, an internet video enables potential patrons to walk through your door via cyberspace. It's like having your own mini commercial produced just for you at a fraction of the cost!

Q What types of businesses can benefit most from a web video?
Any business - big or small - that relies on the internet for marketing. Literally any type of business from fortune 500 companies to small Mom and Pops can use a web video.
Q: How long should my video be?
Our general rule of thumb is never go longer than 2 minutes for anything aimed at a non-captive audience. Don't try to cram too much information into a single video, its better to break it up into seperate, bite-sized videos.
Q: Where should I put my video on my website?
We suggest the home page. But the big thing is to take into consideration adjacent content. Make sure your video is next to something that relates to or enhances your video.
Q: How can I measure how many people watched my video?
Analytics is your friend. Video has the unique position of having not just one or two metrics associated with it but many. You can see whether or not someone downloaded or played a video and how long they watched it. If you host with us, we can provide you reporting on this data.
Q: Why is it important for the video to be in HD?
Not only does the final product look better online, but the HD 16:9 format is becoming the standard. Shooting in 16:9 keeps your video fresh and up-to-date. Also, the video will be broadcast quality to use in any medium, not only the web. And according to Eyeblaster, a viewer is more likely to watch an HD video from start to finish than a regular video.
