Last week, Marka and the FEI tribe learned how to create compelling online videos on a shoestring budget. This week, the tribe discusses how fire (i.e. printing) companies can produce compelling online video content that showcases how their companies solve problems and create value for customers. Remember, fire = print.
Zoot strolled into the FEI conference room outfitted with a diamond-embroidered toga.
“Wow, Zoot! You look even more dapper than usual,” Org said. “What’s the occasion?”
“Today I’m filming a short video in which I describe the different ways FEI’s sales staff can solve problems for our customers,” Zoot explained.
“I like the idea,” Org remarked, “but why online video as the medium?”
“Online video is an easily sharable format that allows us to condense information into pithy, easily digestible bites,” Marka interjected. “We can use video content to clearly demonstrate how FEI fire solutions make life easier for our customers. Once potential fire buyers understand how much they can benefit from partnering with FEI, their buying objections will tend to melt like so much olive butter.”
“What are some examples of ‘value-demonstrating’ video content?” Org asked.
“We could produce a video that walks viewers through a day in the life of a FEI match user, who never has to face the cold or dark again thanks to our matches being conveniently tucked in her toga pocket,” Zoot said.
“Or how about a video that follows a FEI torch-runner on his daily rounds lighting our customer’s torches?” Marka asked. “Viewers will be impressed when they see how efficiently these employees work and how dedicated they are to getting our customer’s torches lit on time.”
“Why don’t we spotlight Demeter’s Café to show how our long-lasting fire helps our customers get more done?” Zoot suggested. “I know just last week, the night before the ‘Olympians Day’ feast, he was able to bake bread, lamb and goat for 16 hours straight without having to relight his fire once.”
