It can be as short as the one above which summarizes the business in three and a half minutes. Since it’s a brand new business the owners wanted a video on their website that would show details of all they had to offer for dog daycare and boarding.

So a simple two to three minute video can tell your customers who you are and what you have to offer. And todays video editing capabilities makes it very easy to add onto or subtract from a video for making future changes.
