- Who the business is
- What your business stands for i.e. core values, mission, vision etc.
- Why the business exists
- How your business helps customers
- How your business is different from similar competitors
- Who works in the business and what they do

If you interact with customers on a daily basis, you may have noticed the same few questions coming up over and over again. These questions can be a great starting point to film a Q&A video and showcase your business as knowledgeable and pro-active in their industry.
For example, if you operate a local café that focuses on the more ‘health conscious’ consumer, then a great idea for a video might be to show exactly what goes into your food and beverages. If you offer a ‘smoothie of the day’ – why not film a short video that clearly shows all of the products you put into the smoothie as well as noting where they come from i.e. fresh strawberries from the local farms on the Sunshine Coast, or showcasing the different milk options that are available to customers – dairy, soy, oat etc.

There’s nothing clearer than seeing fist hand, how your business has helped a customer. Next time your business provides a product or service that met (or exceeded) a customer’s expectations, why not film a short video.
These types of videos don’t have to be long or take up much of your customer’s time, but they will go a long way into showcasing your business in a positive light to others.
Remember with this one though – real customers are the key! Do not try and get friends and family in on the act, it simply isn’t worth it.

Building on top of the product and service videos, are ‘how-to’ videos. These can help customers ‘go deeper’ into a product or service that they require more assistance with.
For example, if you offer customers a product that helps to unclog their drains, then why not create a video that demonstrates exactly how to apply the product.
Or, if your product is intangible like a plugin on a website, then provide steps for users on how they can install your plugin, configure the settings and update the plugin as required.
The great thing about ‘how-to’ videos, is that it minimises the amount of phone calls or emails that customers might send requiring your support – which can be quite time consuming!
