TurnHere Livens up Facebook Pages with Engaging Video Shorts
Small businesses can now bring their Facebook Fan Page to life with custom-created video profiles
10.06.2009 – Emeryville, Calif. – TurnHere, the leading online video marketing services company, is helping small businesses make their mark on Facebook® through the power of video. Through compelling video shorts that seamlessly integrate with Facebook, business owners can transform their Facebook Page into a more dynamic and effective marketing platform.
For a limited time, small businesses with a Facebook Page are eligible to receive a video profile of their business for free. TurnHere will also host the video for one year without charge. The 60-second business profile video resides in a custom-created Facebook application (built by TurnHere) that is seamlessly embedded on the sidebar of their Page. TurnHere offers additional syndication options for businesses interested in extending the use of their video beyond Facebook.
TurnHere's video marketing solutions have brought the online presences of thousands of brands and local businesses to life with video — driving higher engagement, response, and purchase levels across the Web. Market statistics illustrate the overall effectiveness of online video. According to a 2008 survey by MarketingSherpa, 52% of viewers took action after seeing an online video ad; 28% looked for more information; and 16% bought something.
"Facebook has quickly become an integral part of a small business's online presence. And likewise, consumers are increasingly looking to connect with their favorite brands and find new products and services on the social site," said John McWeeny, COO at TurnHere. "By placing a professionally-created and web-optimized video on their Page, companies can really stand out and showcase their unique qualities right where customers are looking to engage."
Betty and Michael Godwin took advantage of the offer to promote "The Haunt at Sunrise Farm," a 2-mile haunted hayride and a tour-guide led journey through the haunted barns of Sunrise Farm. TurnHere produced a one-minute frenetically paced video featuring Michael Godwin that captures the essence of the Haunt, including the checkered past of the VanDeir Curse.
Betty Godwin summed up the production process, "The entire experience has been fantastic. My husband was hesitant about doing the video at first, but Brett, TurnHere's videographer, put him and everyone else at ease and offered creative ideas that we never would have considered. Everyone has been raving about how great the video turned out."
TurnHere’s turnkey production model lowers the complexity typically associated with video production. Its strong network of more than 8,000 independent, professional filmmakers in more than 70 countries and in all 50 states brings local talent to each client and makes video affordable to businesses of all sizes.
