If you’re looking to boost sales, studies show that you can do just that with an online commercial production. Jacksonville’s Digital Video Arts did a little research and found that a full 97% of Internet users in the United States use the Internet to shop for everything from designer shoes to spark plugs to swimming pools, according to the NPD Group, a retail market research firm. And a Yellow Pages study shows that many Internet shoppers are making their buying decision based on web video including online commercial productions.

According to the Yellow Pages study 80% of American web users have watched an online video commercial advertising products or services. Of them:

• 52% took action after viewing the ad;
• 31% visited the advertisers’ website;
• 22% searched for more information about the product;
• 16% talked to friends/family about the product;
• 9% forwarded the video ad to friends/family;
• 15% visited the store;
• 12% made a purchase.

A great example of the power of an online commercial production comes from FindLaw.com, an online clearinghouse of legal information: “The results of new research demonstrate that online video marketing, adding an online video to a law firm Web site can help increase conversions from prospective clients. According to the research, consumers typically visit an average of almost 5 websites (4.8) before they end up making a decision as to which attorney to choose. When video is added to the lawyer’s website, this number decreases to 1.8.”

In tough economic times, a high quality Florida video production may seem out of reach for many struggling nonprofit organizations. But it might be just the thing your organization needs to help boost donations and participation. Many small charitable groups are leveraging the power of social media and web video to spread the word about their causes. In fact, the YouTube Nonprofit Program offers video posting and branding services to help your organization reach millions of YouTube viewers and potential contributors.

According to the Giving USA Foundation, which tracks charitable giving throughout the U.S. each year, total charitable contributions fell 3.6 percent to $303.75 billion in 2009. This means that despite the tight economy, American individuals, corporations and foundations still are giving. However, many are more heavily scrutinizing their giving decisions to make sure that their limited contributions are making the biggest possible impact.

Done correctly, web video can help communicate your nonprofit organization’s mission, goals and needs and inspire viewers to answer your well-defined calls to action (called CTAs in video production and marketing lingo). Whether you’re seeking financial contributions, donations of in-kind services and supplies or volunteer time and energy, Digital Video Arts‘ staff of talented production and marketing professionals can create a Florida video production designed to elicit the results you need.

You’ve heard the old saying a million times: the three keys to success are “location, location, location!” Your Florida video production is no exception to that rule. Location and scenery can make or break your project, whether you’re producing a big-budget, feature-length film or a 30-second commercial. Whether you’re a longtime local or an out-of-towner bringing your project to the Sunshine State, Digital Video Arts can help you pinpoint and secure the perfect location for your Florida video production.

From sprawling coastal homes to quaint country shacks to sleek downtown flats, DVA can help secure the perfect location for your Florida video production.

DVA’s producers have years of experience in the art of location scouting for films, videos, television commercials and Internet video productions throughout Florida. Many don’t know that 100 years ago, Florida’s Jacksonville area (where DVA is located) was known as the “Winter Film Capital of the World” and is widely considered the first site for on-location filming. A century later, film and video producers still come to Florida for the same reasons that attracted filmmaking’s earliest pioneers, including the state’s year-round mild climate and exterior location options that include “everything except mountains – and we can green screen those,” as the saying goes.

Sandy beaches; modern downtown skylines; quaint, rural towns; ornate, century-old mansions and gardens; Anywhere,  USA suburbia homes; and wooded swamplands that double for faraway jungles are just a few of the Florida video production location options available for both exterior and interior shooting. DVA’s production team has a knack for finding just the right locations that help communicate your project’s feel and message. And, we can help you sure permission to use chosen locations, including negotiating city permits and location fees.
