A professional commercial is a key marketing tool today. It helps to present products, services or brands clearly and appealingly. But what is the best way to go about it? Should you create a promo video for free, have a product video made or make your own commercial? And who makes really good commercials ? Here are the answers!

Why a commercial is important

In the digital world, seconds often decide whether a message sticks. Videos grab attention, are easy to consume and boost brand perception. A good commercial can help to win customers and deepen relationships by attracting and convincing them.

  • Convince customersby visualising the benefits of a product or service.
  • Evoke emotionsthat are remembered for a long time.
  • Increase conversionsby addressing viewers directly.

Creating a commercial: the first steps

If you want to create a commercial , planning and strategy are crucial. Here are the steps:

  1. Define your target audience: Who do you want to reach?
  2. Formulate your core message: What do you want to convey?
  3. Develop the story: How do you tell the message in an exciting and clear way?
  4. Visual implementation: Animation, actors or product presentation?
  5. Plan distribution: On which platforms will the video be published?

Creating a promo video: free or professional?

Free tools:
With tools like Canva, Animoto or InShot, you can create a promo video for free. The advantage: easy to use and low cost. The disadvantage: individuality often falls by the wayside.

Professional production:
Having a product video made offers numerous advantages:

  • Tailored content, perfectly matched to your brand.
  • High-quality visual implementations, that are professionally convincing.
  • Strategic advice, to make your message clear and effective.
