Welcome once again to Feature Friday!

Without a doubt, drone footage can be pretty impressive when added to a small business promo video. But a drone isn't a one-trick pony - it can be a workhorse, too. So today we're featuring samples of some of the work that horse can do!!

Right-of-way inspectors, insurance adjusters, construction site managers, heck, even farmers often rely on drone footage to help get their work done. Getting a bird's eye view of large outdoor tasks has evolved from being 'a nice perk' to 'a valued necessity.' This is true no matter how large or small the task may be.

Check out our samples here in this video - if you need drone inspection work done for your job, local government or business, give us a call at 888-414-4344 anytime. Our pilots are licensed, our drones are insured and they're always ready to fly!

(On Fridays we share samples of our promotional video or graphic products,
each one focused on a specific type of small business. These promos are great for social media posts, ads, announcements, email attachments - anywhere digital media is consumed.)

At QuickCuts Video, we create customized video & graphics content that won't bust your small business budget, so give us a call at 888-414-4344.

Welcome to a Lovey Dovey Feature Friday!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's time to get your marketing & promotional plans ready. Of course, you're going to need some custom graphics and video to promote your V-Day marketing and - of course - that's just what we're featuring for you today!!

Whether you own an online shop or a local brick-and-mortar store, your Valentine's Day promos need some custom Valentine's Day content to attract potential customers' attention...which is the main reason for any promotional marketing!

Use promo content samples like the ones in our video here to:
*customize by adding your store's name, logo, location & contact info
*list the main points of your deal or special you're running
*display special store hours
*include links for any coupons, freebies or product/service info you may want to feature
Display your custom V-Day promotional content on social media, online ads, local media ads, storefront windows, your business website...well, you get the idea!

No matter what types of products or services your small business sells, you can still take advantage of this popular event to strut your stuff. Flower shops, restaurants,
jewelry stores - duh, these are all obvious choices for V-Day promotional marketing.

But even an 'un-romantic' biz like a local carpet cleaning service could run something like a '3-ROOM VALENTINE'S SPECIAL' cleaning promotion to draw more customers. Just because you don't sell wine & roses doesn't mean you can't do Valentine's Day promotions!!

Get some ideas from our video, do some brain-storming with your staff & give call us if you need any help planning for your Valentine's Day promos!!!

(On Fridays we share samples of our promotional video or graphic products, each one focused on a specific type of small business. These promos are great for social media posts, ads, announcements, email attachments - anywhere digital media is consumed.)
