The best blog I read this week was James G. Brooks’ guest piece on entrepreneur.com, in which he delivers five key benefits of video case studies. Of course my bias is evident here - I’m always suggesting this type of video. It can be hard to get your clients in front of camera, and I think that can be one of the main blockers for some companies, but the benefits are undeniable.
A couple of Brooks’ points struck a chord; ‘prospects need something to show their bosses’ and ‘case studies cut the salesperson out of the equation’. A case study video is such an easy way of showing the benefits of your services in a couple of minutes, and delivering it from your client’s mouth. Also, more and more people are looking for services online, and before they’ve found a good reason to speak to you, they probably won’t. A case study can give them that reason to get in touch.
