When Veselin Tonov created Video Fabrika, in 2018, he was one of the few in Bulgaria who were not simply aware of the importance of quality video content, but also knew how to turn it into an engine for business success for companies of all scales. Today, Video Fabrika helps businesses to create beautiful, authentic and effective videos without going broke in the process. This is both the company's slogan and the core driver for its creation.

A picture is worth 1,000 words. What about a minute of video?

It depends on how interesting the minute is. A minute can be worth two words, or 2,000 words. In video content the deal breaker is not length, but the value you create for a given period of time.

We measure value to see whether the video has achieved its goal. Often, we do it retrospectively, by analysing the comments beneath it, for example. The number of views is not the most adequate metric for success – on their own they say nothing on what people thought after they saw the video. The many views will not certainly make people buy something.

How can small and mid-size companies benefit from professional video content?

Video is the most effective format for reaching new clients and engaging existing ones. From training videos to product demonstrations, client feedback, video tours, conferences, seminars or fun sketches – every business has something to show and share to attract attention not just to what it does, but also to its overall approach and the people behind it. I created Video Fabrika with the idea to be a partner that businesses can rely on regardless of what video content they plan to create. And if they have no idea where to start from and what content is worth creating, we are with them at each step of the process, helping them to find their "own voice" and reach the right audience.

Is there a recipe for effective video?

We should know the video's target audience – small business owners, mothers of toddlers, people interested in specialty coffee etc. If we do not know our audience, we will not be effective.

We should also know what we want to achieve with the video. To introduce our brand to people? To inform them about something they find important? To show them a new product or service?

The video should grab their attention from the very beginning, and should provide context – this is why formats of the type "Three mistakes you make when buying coffee" are so popular.

You need to respect the viewer's time. If you can say something in 20 seconds, do not waste 25 seconds to say it. I strongly believe that perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove.

Веселин Тонов за тайните на ефективното видео съдържание

Когато Веселин Тонов създава "Видео Фабрика" през 2018 г., той е сред малцината в България, които не само знаят колко важно е качественото видео съдържание, но и умеят да го превърнат в двигател за бизнес успех на компании от различен порядък. Днес "Видео Фабрика" помага на бизнесите да създават красиви, автентични и ефективни видеа, без това да ги разори. Това е едновременно слоганът на компанията и основната мотивация за създаването ѝ.

Едно изображение е колкото 1000 думи. А една минута видео?

Зависи колко интересна е минутата. Една минута може да е две думи, може да е 2000 думи. При видео съдържанието е важна не толкова продължителността, а колко стойност може да се създаде за единица време.

Стойността е метрика, която следим, за да установим дали с конкретното видео сме постигнали това, което искаме. Често измерваме ефекта на видеото ретроспективно, чрез анализ на коментарите под него, например. Броят на гледанията не е най-адекватната метрика за успех – сами по себе си те не ни казват нищо за това какво са си помислили хората, след като са гледали видеото. Многото гледания няма непременно да накарат хората да си купят нещо.

Какви ползи могат да извлекат малките и средни компании от професионалното видео съдържание?

Видеото е най-ефективният формат както за достигане на нови клиенти, така и за ангажиране на съществуващите такива. От обучителни видеа, през демонстрации на продукти, обратна връзка от клиенти, видео турове, конференции, семинари или забавни скечове – всеки бизнес има какво да покаже, за да привлече внимание не само към това, което прави, а и към цялостния подход и хората, които стоят зад него. Създадох "Видео Фабрика" с идеята да сме партньор, на който бизнесите могат да разчитат без значение какво точно видео съдържание планират да създават. А ако нямат идея от къде да започнат и какво изобщо си заслужава да създават, да сме тях стъпка по стъпка и да им помогнем да намерят "своя глас" и да достигнат до правилната аудитория.

Има ли рецепта за ефективно видео?

Трябва да знаем на кого говори видеото – собственици на малки бизнеси, майки с малки деца, хора, които се интересуват от гурме кафе и т.н. Ако не знаем на кого говорим няма как да сме ефективни.

Трябва да знаем и какво искаме да постигнем с видеото. Да запознаем хората с бранда ни? Да ги информираме по важен за тях въпрос? Да им покажем нов продукт или услуга?

Видеото трябва да грабва вниманието от самото начало и да дава контекст – затова са толкова популярни формати от типа на "Три грешки, които правите, когато купувате кафе."

Времето на зрителя трябва да се уважава. Ако нещо може да се каже в 20 секунди, няма нужда да се казва в 25 секунди. Вярвам, че съвършенството е постигнато не, когато вече няма какво да добавиш, а когато вече няма какво да махнеш.
