Stellar Shots Videography is a boutique videography studio specializing in capturing memorable moments through cinematic storytelling. With a team of skilled videographers and editors, Stellar Shots has earned a reputation for delivering high-quality videos for weddings, events, and corporate projects. Despite its exceptional work, the studio faced challenges in effectively showcasing its portfolio and attracting new clients through its website.

Challenge:

As visual storytellers, Stellar Shots understood the importance of captivating content in conveying their brand identity and expertise. However, the studio struggled to connect with its audience beyond its website. The challenge was to implement a marketing strategy that would directly engage potential clients, showcase Stellar Shots' unique offerings, and drive inquiries effectively.

Solution:

The SMS marketing team at SAMWELL collaborated closely with Stellar Shots to design and execute a targeted SMS campaign. The following strategies were implemented:

Discovery and Audience Segmentation:

• Segmented the audience based on interest categories (weddings, events, corporate projects) to deliver personalized messages.

Crafting Engaging SMS Campaigns:

• Developed concise, attention-grabbing SMS messages that reflected Stellar Shots’ creative brand voice.

• Highlighted portfolio highlights with direct links to specific video showcases on the website.

Offers and Call-to-Actions:

• Introduced exclusive offers for new clients, such as discounts on wedding videography or free consultations for corporate projects.

• Incorporated strong CTAs like “Watch Our Work” or “Book Your Free Consultation Now” to drive immediate action.

Follow-Up Strategies:

• Automated follow-up messages for recipients who clicked links but didn’t take further action.

• Sent reminders for seasonal promotions and availability for upcoming events.

Results:

• Stellar Shots Videography experienced a 35% increase in inquiries within the first month of launching the SMS campaign.

• Engagement rates were high, with 85% of recipients opening messages and 40% clicking through to view the portfolio.

• A noticeable boost in bookings for weddings and corporate projects was reported, attributed to the timely and personalized SMS outreach.

• Clients praised the professionalism and quick response facilitated by the SMS strategy, enhancing Stellar Shots’ reputation.
