Mobile Video Marketing


Hopefully you are convinced that you need video take your marketing to the next level. But you also want to be sure your website is responsive and will have your video looking great on all mobile devices. Why? More than half of all users are accessing your site from a mobile device, so you must cater to their needs.

 

On April 21st, Google changed their search algorithms to reward responsive or mobile friendly websites. Responsive websites automatically adjust and resize themselves based on the device calling them, and now Google is bumping up the rankings for mobile friendly websites, giving them a clear advantage over older sites. So, if you haven't already, the best thing to do is update your site to a mobile ready status.

Home & Business Services Unlimited is offering websites and social media management, as part of our growing marketing business. We know the importance of establishing brand awareness and having a strong social media presence as well as the need for a responsive website, since mobile marketing grows larger and larger by the day.

June is National Safety Awareness Month

Many of us worry about things like air plane crashes, wars, and other dangerous scenarios, but the truth is, you have a better chance of being hurt or killed in an accident close to home. The National Safety Council is front and center every June in helping American become more aware of every day safety risks, and to engage in and practice safe behavior everyday of the year. Take a look at the National Safety Council and its 2015 Campaign, "What I Live For".

Video Tips For You

Good lighting is a huge issue in any video. You can shoot with out adding lights, but beware of dark pictures and less than vibrant colors. The best approach is to use lighting as needed, especially to light up people's faces and to eliminate shadowing under the eyes. Never shoot with windows or bright objects behind your talent or area you are shooting . This is called backlighting and usually darkens any subject in front of it. Try to always shoot with light at your back. If you don't want to invest in a lighting kit, try getting an eye-light to at least make your talent look good and your colors vibrant.

  • "Hi Michael,
    Just wanted to reach out and thank you for videoing our daughter's wedding in VT last Saturday!
    And thank you for being so unstoppable when your car broke down!
    We hope you were able to get to your next wedding and also resolve your car issues with the same unstoppability!
    Thanks again for persevering and making the wedding video possible!!"

  • "I am extremely pleased with the videography work of Michael Connell at HBSU.  I contacted him just a few days before performing in a live symphonic concert at Boston's Wilbur Theater, hoping to find someone to film the show.  He was very quick to respond and not only captured excellent HD footage from multiple angles, but also took care of recording audio directly into the live mixing board - something I hadn't even thought of!  He was a professional in every sense of the word, and I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again."
    Best, Jillian

  • Thank you for all  your help here in DS the week of January 12!  You have gone above & beyond to help make the event a great one!  It was chaotic, and you helped us keep it under control.  Thanks for everything, Scott & Marie

  • I was initially overwhelmed with the project of scheduling and shooting videos of 16 of our doctors and providers. But working with Mike was extremely easy--his flexibility and low-key professionalism made the entire project come together easily over 4 separate shooting days. He put the subjects at ease which allowed them to talk easily about their passion for medicine. I am happy to have found such a great resource for future video projects.

  • Easy set up and cordination. The quality of the video was excellent and the finished product was handed over in a short turn around! Would use his expertise again and would definitely recommend his services.
