Strategic Video Production
This video delivers information that a customer needs when they first arrive for their river rafting day trip. Without this video, the employees repeat this information dozens of times throughout any given day. This saves time, improves consistency in messaging, and enhances the customers' experience.
Savvy business owners understand the value of photography and video production when used to guide customers through the many stages of the customer experience.
This is one piece of an overall video strategy that a company could use to effectively guide their customers through the sales and customer service processes.
