Burbank, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2013

Corporate Video Company 981 Media is launching a new Promotional Video Production service. This is one of many Video Production services they offer to companies looking to use the popularity of online videos to their advantage.

The internet is an interesting phenomenon, one that has only gotten bigger and bigger since its initial explosion. People can do all sorts of things online, from holding business meetings and shopping for groceries to making dinner reservations or booking flights. You can do almost everything online these days, which is part of the reason for the latest internet trend: Online videos.The internet has seen its fair share of trends, but this is one seems here to stay.

The popularity of online videos is such that approximately 4 billion of them are watched per day. This number is almost half the amount of people living on our planet today. Youtube and other video hosting sites have created easier access to the internets video content, serving to increase the popularity of online videos even further. Because of how many people watch videos that are posted online, they can be an excellent way for businesses to show their products and services to the world.

“The popularity of online videos is a double-edged sword,” says Austin Brooks, creative director at 981 Media. “It makes it harder for businesses to set their videos apart from the myriad of others out there.” As a result, one of the biggest challenges when it comes to video marketing is ensuring that the videos used possess the quality and entertainment value necessary to stand out.

Figuring out what it takes to make such a video can be complicated, but 981 Media simplifies this process with their Promotional Video Service. This service includes the production of pitch videos and product demonstrations. Pitch videos usually involve the owner of the business expounding upon the high-points of their product, while product demos give viewers an up close and personal look at a particular product, allowing them to have an almost interactive experience with the product from the comfort of their homes or offices.

981 Media specializes in identifying the intended audience for each video they create, and uses this information to ensure that everything from the content and length to the presentation and pitch are geared towards them. This results in videos that are entertaining and interactive but will also encourage viewers to learn more about the featured company or product.

981 Media uses Hollywood-quality cinematic cameras to film Promotional Videos that are equal parts informative and engaging. They are proud to serve Los Angeles business owners looking to diversify and optimize their marketing campaigns through the use of online videos.
