Tips for The Best Video Texts
Video Texts are designed to be casual, so don’t overthink it! Still, before you hit Record, make sure you follow some basic video recommendations!
- Maintain eye level when using your phone or camera. For a really flattering angle, tilt your lens down just a smidge.
- Smile š! It will literally light up the video. A quick tip: Before and after your video, use your smile as a timestamp.
- Speak with confidence and clarity.
- Place any light source in front of you rather than behind you! This will ensure that you don’t have any shadows or glare.
- Make a quick outline of what you’ll say to help you stay on topic and avoid making any mistakes, but don’t write out a full script! Keep it natural.
What to Say in a Video Text
While a single generic message can be recorded and sent to all leads, it’s ideal to produce a separate video for each contact if possible.
Mentioning your client’s name will let them know that this was a personalized outreach designed specifically for them because they came to mind at that particular time.
