VISUAL IMAGE MARKETING ANNOUNCES NEW LOW COST MUSIC VIDEO MARKETING SERVICE

Visual Image Marketing is proud to announce a new, low cost alternative for artists and labels to get their music videos played worldwide.

In addition to our regular music video promotion and marketing services, we are now offering Digital Video Marketing of your music videos. For this service, we’re looking for professionally shot music videos in all Genres.

We will upload your music video to more than 40 music sites worldwide, including YouTube.com, Yahoo.com, and Google.com. When your video is uploaded at each site, we will let you know of all the places where it is available for viewing.

Yes, you might have already put your video up on some of these sites, but in this day and age, in order to build a brand as an artist, your audience has to be familiar with who you are. To do that, you need exposure in as many different places as possible. It’s that exposure and familiarity that will ultimately drive your audience to retail, either traditional or digital.

This service is not only for new videos that you have shot for a current or upcoming single. If you have shot a video in the past and would like to have us upload it for you, we’ll be glad to do that as well as a separate project. If you have several, we’ll be glad to discount the price of our service.

If you are interested in knowing more about our new Digital Video Marketing service or more about our Full Music Video Promotion and Services and the related prices, please drop me an e-mail at Steveb@visualimagemarketing.com.

I look forward to working with you to help your music video work for you.

MORE ABOUT US

For more than eight years, Visual Image Marketing, has specialized in promoting & marketing music videos to National Music Networks and many other video outlets across the US. We specialize in working with indie artists to help get their videos made & then marketing those videos in a very cost effective way. In the past 8 years, we've promoted over 85 music videos.

Our national video promotion & marketing lasts for the life of the video. That is usually 12 weeks or so. We take care of all duplication, closed captioning, mailing, and related paperwork.

We only work 5-8 videos at a time so we can give each artist's video the needed attention it requires so it is not lost with the major label artists' videos.

Additionally, the video airplay reports we generate show actual numbers of plays, not Heavy, Medium or Light rotations. The airplay is broken out by regions & even further by DMAs (Designated Market Areas).

The client is provided with an accurate accounting of airplay at each of the video outlets on a regular basis. This verifiable airplay becomes an integral part of the artist's marketing mix.

All of this effort adds up to AWARENESS. It’s that AWARENESS that will ultimately translate into Sales at Retail for an artist.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

If you or an artist you represent have a video or are considering shooting a video, we’d love to talk with you. If you need to have a music video shot, we work with many different directors and production companies that specialize in shooting videos on film (16mm, Super 16 & 35mm) as well as shooting videos on Digital Video (High Definition and 24P). We’ll be glad to talk with you and see what your vision for the video is and then put you with a few directors that can translate the song into a broadcast quality video, all within your budget.

If you already have a finished music video, we’d love to take a look at the video and discuss your marketing plans for the artist, the CD project and for the video. That will give us a starting point to put together a promotion & marketing proposal for you that maximizes the exposure for your artist’s video.

As we like our services to become part of your marketing plan, we have also developed some "strategic partnerships" to help indie artists secure National Retail Distribution and International Digital Distribution and help set the artist up with real radio promotion that targets radio stations that impact retail sales.

Let Visual Image Marketing be your Video Promotion & Marketing Company. We will use our 15+ years of music business experience to increase the National awareness of your artists and their video products.

Who I'd like to meet:

Artists that see the value in getting a music video professionally shot and promoted not only across the US, but Worldwide on the internet. We can help you make the right decisions about how to shoot the best video possible within an indie budget.

Would also like to talk with creative filmmakers & directors about working together to make these artists' songs come alive on screen.
