Video for Trade Shows

When you’re visiting a busy trade show, plastic bags full of flyers in hand, you scan upcoming stands wanting to understand what they do. A video display is one of the most effective ways for you to find out what a company does and how it may be able to help you.

Put another way, a video on YOUR trade stand is one of the most engaging, informative and entertaining ways of attracting your customers. If your product is too large or too small to display, then a video will provide all the context you need. It can also show how your product is put to use by your existing customers – there might even be a client testimonial to help with your sales message.

Staff who are manning your stand can use the video as a sales aid, pointing out features and benefits as it plays on the screen behind them.

The same video can be put to use as a marketing handout. DVDs of the video can be printed with your sales message and handed out to delegates for less than the price of a brochure.

Skylark Media Group is currently producing a trade show video for precision components manufacturer,Polamco, to appeal to their customers from the defense, aerospace and communications industries. Through the video Polamco can show off its state of the art machinery and production processes, also its high caliber staff and the quality of the company. After the trade show a version of the video will be used online as a recruitment tool.

Suttons Seeds Gets Grafted

This week Skylark Media has been filming with Suttons Seeds at the impressive Plant Raisers, the site of the largest tomato plant propagator in the UK. We filmed 3 films in the day, getting real value for money from the presenter, camera operator and location.

Suttons are adding to their highly successful library of videos to offer help and advice to their customers. These new videos are about grafted plants and sweet potatoes.

A stunning lifestyle set had been created by Suttons marketing department. Then it was a matter of conveying 10 foot mature tomato plants from the perfect growing conditions of the green house to our outdoor location. Once everything was in place and the script was agreed then filming commenced. The weather was kind to us and a warm low sun gave us direct light and reflected balance from the green house wall – perfect. As the sun set we had all 3 films ‘in the can’.

Presenter, Rebecca Morris, did a magnificent job at presenting and Luke Fleming was operating the Sony EX3 and Canon 7d. The videos will be available on the Suttons You Tube channel from April 2012.
