The launch of a new product is a pivotal moment that shapes the present, future, and growth of your business. It is the culmination of multiple months, and sometimes years, of innovation, planning, and persistence. But simply put, without the right launch, you could be the most innovative product and it won't matter.

To offset that reality, a product launch video shoot could simply change the game. A well-executed launch video encompasses more than just the introduction of a new product. A launch video creates excitement, builds trust, and sets the tone for how you want the audience to feel, think, and perceive your brand. In an increasingly digital-first marketplace, with little time and attention to spare and endless competition for their eyes, you should consider leveraging a launch video as a robust method of maximizing the exposure of your new product, stimulating conversations, and creating a memorable product launch.

1. Builds Hype and Excitement
There's nothing like the buzz a video generates. Whether it's a teaser clip of your product, a cinematic reveal of your product at the launch, or a behind-the-scenes look, video alerts audiences' curiosity and connects them with the product emotionally before it even comes out.

2. Demonstrates Real Value Instantly
Written explanation will never be able to match the power of visual storytelling. Video allows you to show your product in action. from the gadget that solves a common everyday challenge to the fashion piece that elevates someone's style to the next level, video cuts straight through the noise and lets someone see the benefits of your product in real time.

3. Strengthens Brand Credibility
Having a professional set up with quality visuals and a crisp, polished story says something very powerful about your brand. When your brand invests in a big reveal with a well comedic look at what your launch video will look like, fully produced, you're sending a strong message to the audience; your brand goes above and beyond creating top notch products, you take pride in your presentation as well.

4. Expands Reach and Engagement
Video doesn't just work well on your website or in-store; social platforms utilize video much more than text-based content. Your launch video is shared, reshared, and the subject of conversations on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Video has the ability to be explored virally, which heightens organic reach, fosters discussions, and ultimately positions your product in front of countless traditional advertising eyeballs.

5. Fits Across Multiple Channels
A great launch video works everywhere. Your website, landing pages to collect leads, online digital ads, showcased at trade events, email campaign videos, you name it. A well-produced launch video is a multi-channel asset informing consumers and generating interest for weeks, months, and longer well after the launch has ended.

Define the Goal First
All videos must have an intentional purpose, is this video going to provide information to potential buyers, inspire them with a lifestyle, or convert them to customers? Knowing the purpose will lead the creative direction from the scripting stage to the editing stage.

Identify Your Target Audience
Your video has to attract the correct audience. A product for Gen Z professionals is going to have a loud, fast-moving style whereas a product targeted towards corporate executives could be more sophisticated and authoritative.

Craft a Story, Not Just a Script
Telling a story is an essential part of engage. Even 30 second clips can have a story arc:

Choose the Right Location
The location of your video series is also a part of the story. A stylish rooftop may scream urban luxury, a historic bungalow adds character, or a clean minimal studio aesthetic to show off the product is a different story. SpotLet helps facilitate location discovery and booking designed to complement your brand.

Recruit the Right Team
A qualified videographer, director, stylist and/or editor can make something mundane become extraordinary. Even with limited funding, a smaller, skilled team can ensure professional quality.

Showcase Real-World Usage
Viewers want to see how the product fits into their lives. Show it being used: at home, in the workplace, outside or on the go. People trust lots faster than a shiny advertisement.

Focus on Quality Production
Good lighting, good sound, and good editing, are sometimes looked at as an extra, but when these fundamentals do not exist, the consumer stares at the errors instead of paying attention to the product. Good quality of production keeps the focus on the product.

Keep It Short and Sweet
Attention spans are shorter than ever. Promotional launch videos should be at a maximum of 60-120 seconds with longer videos for demos, investor decks, or training.

The venue you select can change your video from average to iconic. That's where SpotLet comes in. Using a curated portfolio of venues all around the city, it allows for brands to find the perfect setting for their creative vision.
