Are you using video to promote your brand?

Last year, July 4, 2011 I photographed our local 4th of July parade and to date received over 1,000 hits.  It's also a great time for local politicians to be seen, and at the end of my video, I post my name and occupation and telephone number.

Many times when talking to new clients, they mention some of my videos, not the parade, but my property promotions.

So it is helpful, folks don't be shy, you are your own worse critic, I'll bet you can be really good, give it a try.  Don't forget to use a tripod, nobody like to watch a movie that shakes.  Get ready for the forth, get your name out there.

I love the idea of adding community videos to my marketing.  Thanks for tips!  Watching the American Flag waving in the breeze is really quite beautiful!

I tottally agree, video is a great way to connect with potential prospects throughtout your local community. It is also important as you alluded to, to make yourself multi-dimensional when using video marketing. @davidperry

Video is a great tool.  And politicians really enjoy a picnic or parade where they can shake hands and kiss the babies!

I really do need to start doing some videos.  I've actually filmed one or two but never edited or published one.
