We all love online videos. With the advent of YouTube, the power of video has truly exploded! Many businesses have heard that they need online videos for their company, but many are not sure if there is any hard data to prove its effectiveness. Consider these Facts: SALES – Video now appears in 70% of the top 100 search result listings. – Viewers are 64% – 85% more likely to buy after watching a product video! – In a recent study, housewares e-tailer StacksAndStacks.com reported that visitors were 144% more likely to purchase after seeing a product video vs. those who did not. BRAND AWARENESS – Online Videos result in a 100% more favorable view of the brand with a 73% higher chance for recommending it and a 37% increase in likelihood that they would visit again. (study by Eyeview) QUALITY Many studies also clearly explain that they are referring to QUALITY Videos. Not something that your Uncle Bob shot with his flip-cam and flashlight. Your videos should be an extension of your brand and look sharp. A bad looking video is like wearing an Armani suit with sneakers! So why would you do this with your brand? Of course we would like for to hire Point in Time Studios for your next Video Project. However, regardless of who you hire, do your due diligence and don’t just hire based on price. Make sure that they have a proven track record and can deliver a high-quality product. Rami Kalla Point in Time Studios Reference: ( http://blog.kissmetrics.com/product-videos-conversion/)

Although virtual reality (VR) may seem like a new, emerging technology to some, it has actually been around – in some form – for over sixty years! In 1957, Morton Heilig invented the Sensorama, an arcade-style reality simulator that worked by having the viewer sit in front of the machine with their head placed between panels and look at 3D-style images while being exposed to specialized smells and sounds to create an immersive experience. While this is a far cry from the virtual reality of today, the Sensorama has been credited by many as the first VR device. You can see the progression of VR even in more modern times through the many variations of virtual reality headsets introduced to the public, from the EyePhone – not to be confused with the iPhone – to the Samsung Gear VR, the most well-known headset.
The Internet is all about content with a purpose. A great way to build your content presence is by producing video testimonials. With 65% of consumers classified as visual learners, this is an effective way to communicate messages about your business in an understandable and engaging way.
