The 6 questions that help your video testimonials convert not just look good.

His reaction to his own kidnapping is priceless!

This non-traditional approach to a dental commercial was a success. I could not have asked for a better outcome. And the reaction from the team and the dentist himself is one of the reasons why I do this šŸ˜Ž

You've made testimonial videos for your business, posted them and ... chirp ... chirp ... nothing. They didn't convert the way you expected. Leaving you with the sour thought, "Video testimonials don't work." And I have to agree with you. To an extent. Without the proper strategy even the best produced video can flop. In this video I break down my approach to testimonial videos that convert. Lets lock in. šŸŽ¬šŸæ

Every strong video starts with the same question: who's the audience, and what's the one message they need to walk away with? Skip that step and even a well-shot video won't land.

For this project, the brief was simple: show what makes Weekend Dental different, in a way people would actually want to share.

We wanted something unique so we built the concept around humor instead of the usual polished-smile approach. Funny, local ads get shared organically, and it let Jallad's real personality carry the spot instead of a script. The core idea, "I couldn't get in anywhere else," gets dramatized as literally as possible so the message sticks.

The production side was lean by design: one-man crew, three actors, one tight office space, 4.5 hours start to finish. Good strategy doesn't require a big footprint, it requires the right story.

Here's what we made šŸ‘‡

You've got about 3 seconds before someone scrolls past your ad on their way to a video of a raccoon washing cotton candy šŸ¦. If your retention graph drops off a cliff right at the start, that's not a "wrong audience" problem, it's a hook problem.

Quick fix: swap the polite intro for a bold claim or a question that makes people stop mid-scroll. Speaking directly to their problem will make anyone stop to listen. That's #1 of 5 things that can quietly break a video ad. I cover the other 4 in our latest blog.

Psst, check the comments if you want to fix that video ad.

Don’t film your restaurant the same way your competitors do. Add visual interest to your videos using these three shots.

In this episode of Finding the Frame I visited Tower Square Pizza on the square in Marion Illinois. The result was … well you judge for yourself. What business should I do next? Just tag them in the comments 🤘

Could not have said it better myself, ā€œthe brand isn’t the problem, it’s fearā€. Fear to simplify your message and sound like an actual human. People don’t choose brands they choose people.
