Video marketing without becoming a production company
The shops winning on video are filming on a phone, not on a set.
Phone, vertical, one take
Don't over-engineer. The 60-second job-site video filmed on a phone outperforms the polished four-minute brand film by a wide margin.
Show real work, real explanations
'Here's why this water heater failed' beats 'about our company.' Educational content earns trust before the customer ever calls.
Post weekly, evaluate quarterly
Most video strategies fail in week three. Commit to a weekly cadence and evaluate the results after 12 weeks, not 12 days.
