How Homemade Video Reflects On Your Brand

In today’s digital age, video content has become a pivotal element of marketing strategies. Whether it’s for social media, websites or presentations, video allows brands to connect with their audience emotionally and visually. However, when it comes to the quality of the video content produced, there is a distinct divide between homemade videos shot on cellphones or basic cameras, AI-generated videos and professionally produced content by experienced production teams.

At The SGNY Group, based in the vibrant heart of Manhattan, we believe that the quality of your video reflects on your brand, and hence, investing in professional video production is essential for long-term success.

The Perils of Homemade Video

While creating homemade videos may seem like an accessible and cost-effective option, they often fail to convey a brand’s message in the way that professional content can. Homemade videos tend to lack the polish, structure, and quality that consumers expect from reputable brands.

• Low-resolution images
• Confusing backgrounds or action
• Poor lighting
• Shaky camera work
• Untrained actors
• Amateur editing

These and more are common pitfalls that can detract from a brand’s professionalism.

Moreover, a homemade video can suggest to viewers that a brand values convenience over quality, which can negatively impact consumer perceptions. In a marketplace where first impressions are crucial, overlooking video quality can be detrimental. Research shows that high-quality visual content is linked to higher engagement rates; brands using high-quality videos in their marketing see an increase in conversion rates of up to 80%, according to recent statistics.

For those who want to stand out, investing in professional video services is not just about aesthetics—it’s about building and maintaining trust with their audience. Customers are more likely to engage with and trust brands that present themselves professionally.
