Homemade video

Just because a video is homemade doesn’t mean it’s not professional. A video filmed on a smartphone and filmed in the office or at a staff member’s home can be exceptionally useful. It shows a human side to your business; it’s better to focus on making a connection with your audience via video to put a human face to your work.

Try using humour or wit within your video as it will get your message across while adding a fun element, sometimes it’s not all about business.

Try creating a countdown vlog two weeks before the event, including a variety of topics, such as interviews with speakers or sponsors, behind the scenes preparation. This type of video is excellent to share and promote on social media; it will get potential attendees excited about the event. You could maybe even do a daily upload which you can share on your social media, they can be a minute or two long, but it shows your progress in the planning stages.
