One thing that I try to stress to my small business owner clients is that we live in an age where people can watch a video from anywhere!! It is a staggering truth that 25% of people watch videos on their phone, and that number is continuing to grow!
One of the main reasons video testimonials can help brand awareness, reinforce loyalty, and increase traffic to your website is because of the trust factor among potential consumers. This is due to the peer review and endorsement from that person. Positive endorsements from peers are easily relatable and have a great impact. It is the same reason you see people asking their friends where to find a good restaurant or what car to buy, they trust their peers.
Videos also have the capacity to go viral. Videos that are emotive, informative and of value can create buzz about your brand that can spread like wild fire. Distributing these videos to social networks like Facebook and YouTube as well as having them on your site can increase brand awareness.
So if you have videos for your business, good for you!! If you don’t, then you really need to get some because you are missing out on some very good potential business.

Old Edwards Inn is a premiere Inn and Spa located in Highlands, North Carolina. They are also a great venue for a destination wedding, surrounded by picturesque views in an elegant setting. Red Leaf Films was there recently filming an event they had for some of their customers. Several of the regional farmers they use were there, and each was paired with a chef that created some wonderful and tasty dishes with the ingredients the farm provides to Old Edwards Inn. The event was a lot of fun, and the food was awesome!!

I went out to the Concord Mills area to film this commercial. Piano Man is a dueling Piano Bar and Restaurant located in front of the Great Wolf Lodge. When I got there to start filming (around 9:30pm) the place was pretty busy and everyone was having a great time! Half of the crowd was singing along with the piano players, as they were playing and interacting with the crowd. Definitely a place to add on your “things to do” list with a big group of friends.
VBGB Beer Hall & Garden is located at the NC Music Factory. I have been of the mindset that if I am going to uptown Charlotte, I want to be able to walk around and have lots of options. I never really found the NC Music Factory appealing because it is not close to anything but itself. However they now do have several restaurants and bars, enough to make that location good enough for a night out. Another benefit is free parking. When I went to film VBGB I was immediately drawn to its laid back atmosphere, and the fact that you don’t have to yell to carry on a conversation. This is a great place to have a chilled craft beer, great food, and good times with friends!!
We filmed this commercial for a new restaurant in Uptown Charlotte. It is called “Vapiano”, and they have a really cool concept. They offer fresh food that is cooked right in front of you, and all of their pasta is home made- they make their own pasta!! Pretty cool place to eat and even hang out (the décor is very modern). Don’t go Uptown without stopping by this place.
