Here at Indiefilm we've had a great start to the New Year, kicking it off with some exciting projects. Most notably we had Richard Kahui (from the Chiefs and the All Blacks) in the studio for a photo-shoot, and we have begun our new V-mail service for clients.
The team are feeling refreshed after the break and we are ready for a jam-packed 2012. We had a surge of enquires last month and were making deadlines right up to Christmas Eve, it was a great way to send off 2011.
We're coining 2012 the year of the video - especially online promotional video! A short 30-60 second video is a fantastic way to supplement your online marketing; it's far more exciting then a bunch of drab text and static images. If you have ever thought about online video but were put off by the price, then you need to give us a call - you will be pleasantly surprised. And affordable does not mean 'cheap looking,' all our productions have the sleek Indiefilm polish that our customers have come to expect.
Here are a couple of promotional web videos we produced last year that have been so effective our clients keep coming back for more!

No conversation about ebusiness is complete without discussing search engine optimization (SEO). An ebusiness cannot gain on a competitor until consumers know it exists and can easily find it through organic search.

According to Forrester, any given video in an index of searchable keywords has a 50 times better chance of appearing on the first page of results than any given text page.
