Getting married and dealing with vendors is a very stressful ordeal for every couple, but working with “A Cut Above the Rest Productions” was like a breath of fresh air and proved to be a wonderful experience. Although we booked them only a month before our wedding, Lewis Hatkoff was flexible, easy going, a great listener, and responded to our emails and questions within hours. The day of the wedding Lewis was very professional, client-oriented, and creative! Lewis was able to meet and even surpass our requests and our final product was beautiful and momentous. The transitions, colors, crystal clear images, camera angles, and music embeded in the DVD made all our family and friends cry. He captured all the beautiful details, decor, and special rituals. Lewis immortalized all the love our friends and family expressed that special day. Every time we play the DVD, we relive our day over and over again. Thank you “A Cut Above the Rest Productions” for capturing the humanity, love, and tenderness of our special day.Omar and Cristina Malaszczuk

WEB DESIGN

“My sis informed me about your website and how great it is. She’s right, I’m actually impressed with the writing and slick design. It appears to me you’re simply scratching the floor in terms of what you’ll be able to accomplish, however you’re off to an amazing start!”

Perhaps you’ve heard the statistic that visitors to a web site typically leave after only 8 seconds. That’s so fast, you almost wonder if they even know what they’ve seen. The truth is that the average web visitor knows what they want and as people become more savvy about shopping for goods and services on the Internet, it becomes even more crucial that your web site delivers to meet your customer’s desires virtually instantaneously.

Sounds like an overwhelming proposition? When you partner with A Cut Above The Rest Productions, the process is seamless, painless, and…well…almost fun. You see, when you’re the experts, you make it look easy. And that’s what we do best.

Let’s talk for a minute about logo and web design. Why is it important? In two word, branding and interactivity. Even if you work locally from your kitchen table or intend to sell only one widget on your website, you still need branding if you are to sell anything at all. Branding provides comfort, a sense of familiarity, that allows your customers to buy once, and return to you to buy again and again. Interactivity built seamlessly into your design creates a high quality customer experience, where browsing, purchasing and post-sale aftercare instill confidence in your brand.

Your logo tells your community…your country…the world… who you are. Your web site tells them why your service is great. It’s that simple. It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to the web, or a Fortune 500 company with a solid web presence. It doesn’t matter if you only want to establish a strong online presence locally, in your town, or all the towns across the pond. A Cut Above The Rest Productions meets your needs now and in the future, bring together the best elements of web design, development, marketing and e-commerce to ensure your online presence grows as your company does.

Think of it as an investment in your future.

7 Insights To Improve Your Return On Investment (ROI)

Video should be a vital part of your conversion strategy. Why? Video works. It reveals your passion, helps you create a more engaging customer experience, delivers complicated content more easily, etc. I often hear from our prospects: “I know about the power of video, but how can I make it work for me?”. The following 7 tips should enable you to make online video serve its primary function – help grow your business and make you money.

1. Set up a realistic objective
How many visitors do you want to drive to your site? What conversion rates do you want to achieve? Before you decide on these goals, you should look at your current data and trends in your marketing efforts without the use of video. It will help you make realistic projections to define success.

2. Your video should be short
We recommend your video to be no longer than 2-3 minutes. People absorb information much better if you feed it to them in small doses. It is one of those times when “less is more”. If you think it is absolutely necessary to have a longer piece then break it into series. Another solution is to create a longer version and then test the results by gradually cutting it.

3. Create content that is targeted to your audience
Think about your best customers first. What content interests them? You should use this information to create content that targets your prospects as directly as possible. In addition, video should not only match the surrounding content and goals of your campaign but add value to your customers’ experience.

4. Include a compelling call-to-action in your video
A good call-to-action helps prompt the desired behavior from your viewers. It is a critical part of your video content.

5. It matters where you place video on your site

You should keep in mind that the way you position your video on the page sets up viewer’s expectations. For instance, If you place it on the top right it will appear more like an ad. That’s why video sharing sites such as YouTube place their video players on the top left of the page.

6. Video is a marketing asset that you should reuse

Putting video on your site is the essential thing to do to improve your conversions. But you should also distribute it via any channel that is available to you. Put it on YouTube, upload it to your Facebook account or use Twitter to direct viewers to it. You can also use it on many other sites such as Yahoo Video, Vimeo, MySpace, etc.

7. Test, test and test…
Testing is a key to improving your ROI. There are a lot of variables that could contribute to very significant changes in your online marketing results.
The important thing is to vary one parameter at a time. For instance, test your conversion rates with video and without video on your site. This way you will be absolutely sure that it was the introduction of a video that improved your results. Test different versions of your video, test different positions (on the left and on the right of the same page).

The more you play with your video, the more creative ideas you’ll have to make it effective.
