Something to Believe In: Videos Connecting People & Places

We believe that the local hardware store owner should win more business than Home Depot and that Walmart should play second fiddle to local merchants. We believe that video is the most powerful way for consumers to emotionally connect with their next place to live and vacation. We believe that, on a mass scale, people crave community and that they want to emotionally connect with local business owners and local service professionals. We believe that there is nothing cooler than outdoor concerts in the town park, the school that has a progressive philosophy, or the local farmers' market.

Most of all, we believe that videographers and production companies are best suited to sell video to your fellow locals: after all, you know who your customers are! Your customer is the local shop owner that fulfills your everyday life somehow. It's the bar owner that has your favorite beer halfway poured by the time the door closes behind you. Your customer is the massage therapist that chills you out, or the real estate pro that never steers you wrong.

In general, our tagline has always held true since our inception in 2005: WellcomeMat is all about Videos Connecting People & Places.

What's The Deal? How WellcomeMat Works

Two of WellcomeMat's three founders have production backgrounds. We know how much goes into a solid production, we know how much can go wrong, and we know it's best to grease the wheels between video pros and their clients and stay the heck out of the way. WellcomeMat's primary value is in helping real estate professionals, local business owners, service pros, and event planners to get professionally-produced video content and applying it where it needs to be. We do not make a commission on video projects that are fulfilled through our system, but rather charge local "the client" for premium services and technologies that are 100% catered to local video.

Why Focus on Local Video?

Local video expected to grow into a $1.5 Billion market by 2012 and it's a business where everyone involved has an immediate benefit. Local business owners out-rank large competitors within search engines. Real estate professionals and companies win new business by being the information source for all things local. Event planners/managers can better promote their events by showcasing the area where their gig takes place. And videographers-of course-have a virtually untapped market that is in the process of exploding. WellcomeMat's fuse is lit... get on the ship!
