Are you looking for a new way to promote your business or introduce a new product? In today’s digital age, consumers have grown accustomed to swiping left and right, skimming the fine print, and hitting the delete button in seconds. At Red Paper Plane, we want to help you promote your product or business in a way that grabs attention, increases engagement, and motivates your reader to take action. A video brochure can do that and more. Let’s explore how to choose the best video for your brochure to achieve maximum results.
Are You Selling a Product or Promoting a Brand?
One of the many benefits of using video brochures to promote your message is that it allows you to present your ideas in ways that traditional print advertising can’t. Prospective clients and customers can see your product and better understand how it works. They can also see the face behind the brand, which can translate into deeper connections and better engagement. Businesses can showcase products, share client testimonials, and personalize outreach to grab attention, especially for Premium or VIP recipients.
Another benefit of using video brochures to present your message is that they can showcase improvements or highlight specific programs to a target audience. For example, a video brochure that allows alumni and donors to visit your campus virtually to explore improvements to the campus and new degree programs is a great way to increase fundraising if you’re a college or university. Service organizations may use video brochures to raise awareness of important causes, such as helping underserved communities.
Is Your Message Concise and Easy to Understand?
Less is better when considering what message to convey in your video brochure. Your video should show how the product works and how potential customers’ lives will change if they purchase it or ask for more information. Avoid having too much dialogue or presenting too much information. Keep your message brief and easy to understand so viewers will have little difficulty remembering it.
Does Your Video Have Interactive Features for Enhanced Engagement?
Video brochures offer several different avenues for enhanced customer engagement. It’s easy to embed links for viewers to click to get more information or to be directed to another page for a tutorial or how-to demonstration of your product or service.
Through virtual visits, higher education institutions can utilize video brochures to attract donors and prospective students. Healthcare companies can customize VR Viewers to demonstrate new hospital technology or the benefits of a new medication.
Does Your Video Brochure Have a Clear CTA?
Investing lots of time and energy into producing a video brochure doesn’t make sense unless you have a designed and definitive call-to-action (CTA). You want your video to present your message in a way that encourages the viewer to take action. Your message should have a sense of urgency, and some things to do include offering a discount if they respond by a specific date or are one of the first to click a link for more information.
Hire a Professional to Set Yourself Apart
It’s possible to produce your own video for a video brochure, but hiring a professional to make your video is a wise choice if you want to set yourself apart from the competition. A video production team can access high-quality equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound gear. Their expertise in editing and post-production means your finished video will have a polished look. They can highlight your product and present it in a way that resonates with your target audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Should I Choose a Video Brochure to Promote My Business?
A video brochure will set you apart from your competitors if you want to attract new customers to your business or service. In today’s digital age, your brand must project enough creativity to grab the viewer’s attention and encourage them to take action. A well-designed video brochure presents your message, informs the viewer, and engages with them in measurable ways, allowing you to track and measure your campaign’s performance.
How Long Should My Video Be for a Video Brochure?
The length of your video in a video brochure depends on your file's resolution, frame rate, and bit rates. If your resolution is higher than what is listed for the screen size you’re buying, it will affect how many minutes you can load. Ultimately, the available memory decides whether your video will fit on a specific memory chip size.
How do I Upload a Video to the Video Brochure?
Video files are usually too large to transfer through traditional email or uploads. Once you’ve selected a design for your video brochure and placed your order with us, a project manager will contact you to arrange the transfer of your video file via WeTransfer or other file-sharing services.
