Home / Blogs / Project Ninja, a passion turned start-update
Rajeev’s passion to start a business and determination to do something new lead to the rise of Project Ninja. Project Ninja is basically an online interface where you can find an easy way to get your college projects printed and bound. Honeycomb took an indepth dive into his entrepreneurial journey. Let’s take a look on what he has to say:
  • What ignited the spark in you to start a new Business? How did the idea for your business come about?
I remember when I was in class 7 in school; I was in the basket ball team and we had decided to get new team merchandise done and I took the initiative of getting it done. While doing so I happened to make a good sum of money and even got my T-shirt for free. Even though I did not get a chance to play in any match that year, I was quite happy and proud of how the team merchandise had turned out. Ever since then, the idea of business and making something new seemed very fascinating.
A year ago when I was having tea outside college with a friend of mine who was studying MBA, he had to submit his project over the weekend and he was talking about how to get the project printed and then find a vendor to get it bound as per the college guidelines. And all of this took about two days of waiting in queues and running around at the printing & binding stores. I found it hard to believe that there wasn’t any single interface to cut the queues and make the submission easy. The thought of solving the last mile problem stayed in my head for a few months before I started Project Ninja, which is now an Online Printing & Binding store for college projects.
  •    How did you finance your start-up?
Like most people in their mid 20’s of my generation, I did not have much of savings from my steady job. I sold my bicycle, my old computer, camera and also borrowed some money from my friends to get the business started.
  •     Tell us more about project Ninja?
Project Ninja is a simple and convenient way to get college projects printed & bound. It’s an easy to use online interface that helps students save time by ordering their projects to be printed and bound. Now students can spend time focusing on academics or doing what they love instead of wasting time in queues.
  •     Where you see Project Ninja 5 years from now?
5 years from I see Project Ninja changing the way students do their projects. The current system does not handle the industry demand and hence the project work does not hold much of value once they finish their college. My vision of Project Ninja is more than just Printing & Binding; it will also include how students can work on their projects and reap the benefits of it even in their careers or make a way to find relevant job in their careers. The whole process of doing projects will change in the next few years, and Project Ninja will be the catalyst for that change.
  •     What would you say are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur?
o   Attention to detail is one the most important skills required to run a start up.
o   One must have strong vision of the future, one should be a
dreamer.
o   Must have a strong eye to observe and
understand human behavior to create products and services that seamlessly fit into people’s lives.
  •     What are the rewards of owning a business as compared to working for someone else?
Owning a business gives the benefit of pushing yourself beyond the ordinary limits and discovering what you are capable of doing. It also gives the freedom to try and implement new and disruptive ideas. And lastly the joy of creation will outweigh everything else.
  •     Do you believe there is some sort of a formula to becoming a successful business owner?
Well I certainly don’t know about it at this point. I would love to know if there is one.
  •     What according to you are the top three traits needed to become a successful businessman?
A good set of values, patience and determination should be the top three traits of a successful businessman.
  •     Who has been your greatest inspiration?
Nandan Nelekhani has been one my greatest inspiration. His dedication in enabling technology to build solutions that directly impacts everyone in the country is something that has always inspired me. Reading his book
Imaging India, I learnt that you can accomplish anything if you are dedicated and persistent.
  • Finally, to end this brilliant interview, how would you define success, as a message for readers.
In this context, success to me is when you build something that directly impacts the life of a person using it and creates a positive change.

Home / Blogs / Video Marketing “The Sales Generating Mantra”

Video marketing is a marketer’s best friend. It allows you to integrate close-up shots of your awesome product, show the benefits it provides, and let the customer decide instead of you. But how can you get your customers to fall in love with your video? How can you persuade potential clients to purchase your product using nothing but an endlessly scrolling series of pictures? The sales generation mantra by a top corporate video production company will teach you how.


1. Introductions

 

We believe that the best way to introduce yourself to a potential client is with a video that tells your story, how you got started, and why you do what you do. This will show your clients who you are and what kind of services you offer them. It also helps them feel connected to you as a person and not just another business in the sea of businesses out there.

 

2. Avoid overproduction

 

Do you know what sucks? When you’re watching a video, and it just feels… fake. Like, it’s so polished that it doesn’t feel real, or like there’s something about it that just doesn’t quite gel with your life experience. That’s why we don’t use any fancy equipment or editing software here—as a top video production company, we just want our videos to feel like they could be happening around you right now if only someone would turn their camera on!

 

3. Get to the point

 

When it comes to sales, we all know what it’s like.

 

You’ve got a great product or service, and you’re ready to sell it—but then you hit a wall. You get stuck. You don’t know where to start. And even if you do know where to start, how do you get your prospect to take their first step?


It’s not easy. But one thing never fails: getting straight to the point.

 

So when you’re planning your next sales video, think about what will help your customers make sense of your product or service—and then cut right in with a brief explanation of what you’re offering and why they should care about it.

 

If they want more information, they can click on links within the video itself or go online later and find out more—but if they see value in what they hear right away, they’ll be more likely to stick around until the end!





4. Use of humor

 

Humor is a great way to break the ice with your audience. It helps establish a connection and can also help you get your point across more easily.

 

When trying to sell something, humor is a great way to make your product seem more relatable and less intimidating. You want people to understand that it’s not just some product they don’t need, but something they actually want—and humor helps make that happen!

 

5. Clearly state your message

 

We know you’ve heard this before, but it really is true: the more clearly you state your message, the more likely you are to get your audience to listen.

That’s why experts always emphasize a simple tip: keep it simple.

 

If you’re making an explainer video for your business, don’t try to cram in every last detail about your product or service. That’ll just lose people’s attention and make them tune out. Focus on what matters most—the one thing that will sell them on buying from you.

 

When making a video, think about what action you want your viewers to take after watching it. Do you want them to buy something? Do you want them to subscribe? Do you want them to comment? Whatever it is, make sure that’s clear right up front in your video description/title and throughout the video itself. You need to be clear about what it is that you want them to do, or they won’t do it.

 

6. “The One Word” concept

 

“The One Word” concept is all about simplifying your message to the point that it can be explained in a single word.

 

For example, if you’re selling a service that helps people make money from their homes, you might use the word “freedom” as your one word. You could then expand on what “freedom” means for your customers by explaining how they can use their free time to do things like travel or volunteer.

 

Focusing on just one thing makes it easier for your audience to understand what you’re selling and why they should buy it.

 

7. Make it entertaining

 

To be entertaining, you don’t have to be a comedian or an actor. You just need to make your audience think, “Hey, this video is worth sharing.”

 

If you’re looking for an example of a great video, you can’t go wrong with the Dollar Shave Club. They don’t try too hard to make jokes and don’t force the camera on customers who are uncomfortable being filmed. Instead, they stick to their product and let the humor come naturally through their use of props and simple editing techniques like slow-motion effects.

 

The more relatable your video is, the more people will share it. And that’s what you want!

 

8. Don’t just say it. Show it (text is not enough)

 

Did you know that the average human attention span is just 8 seconds?

 

That’s right: 8 seconds.

 

And if you want to capture that attention and make sure your message is remembered, you need to do more than just say it. You need to show it.

 

This doesn’t mean that text isn’t important—it does mean that text alone isn’t enough if you want to really engage your audience and build trust. Instead, try using video marketing in your next campaign. Video marketing can be very effective because it takes advantage of our natural tendency to mimic what we see others doing (or saying). When we see someone on screen doing something, we’re more likely to remember their actions and imitate them later.

 

So how do you harness this power of imitation? It all starts with a clear message and visual cues that are easy for viewers to follow.

 

9. Storytelling is the heart of video marketing

 

Whether creating a video to promote your brand or advertise your client’s products, you need to remember that you’re telling a story. And not just any story: You’re telling YOUR story.

 

The best way to engage people with a story is by making it personal. When you’re talking about your product, for example, talk about what it means to YOU and why you created it. Talk about how much time and effort went into it—and how much care went into every detail.

 

This is the single most important thing that will help sell your product or service: People want to know who they’re buying from. They want to know what makes YOU tick as a person so that they can trust you when they buy something from you!

 

Conclusion: Video marketing can help grow your business if done rightly.

 

Creating videos for marketing purposes sounds like a great idea. From the research we gathered, that notion does not seem far-fetched. In a nutshell, people love videos. Everything about the video is fun and interesting to people. Videos keep people interested, making them want to be more engaged, knowledgeable, and entertained by what you are trying to post online. Videos, as stated earlier, promote knowledge, and they also can delight viewers.

Canvas printing is the process of printing a photo onto a canvas and it is stretched and gallery wrapped using a frame and finally rendered.

You can get different textured canvas paper to suit your digital photo printing or fine art printing projects. If you want a glossy look or a matte finish, you must choose the suitable canvas paper that serves your purpose.
