Videos engage our senses particularly intensely and are therefore helpful for learning success in every age group. Whether as a short explanation of a topic, as personal motivation, or as an impulse to implement what you've learned – you can use videos in a variety of meaningful ways in training. One thing is clear:
As a trainer or coach, you are primarily an impulse giver.
You can support participants in training with various means and content in the learning process. However, the most important part of learning takes place in the participant's mind. That’s exactly why appealing impulses are so important – and these can be perfectly implemented in the medium of video!

Common questions from our customers on the topic of video include:
Isn't a video way too expensive to produce?
Answer: Not if you take care of it yourself! At first, you need a bit of practice in creating videos. However, even novices can manage to shoot a video with their smartphone and our blink.it kit (our recommended mini equipment) in under an hour.

If I make this myself with a smartphone, won’t that detract from my professional appearance?
Answer: We believe – quite the opposite. High authenticity/credibility contributes significantly to a professional appearance. As long as the audio in the video is good, your participants and clients will immediately forgive minor slips or similar issues. Ultimately, your content and your competence as an expert are the focus!

How do I ensure that my content is seen?
Answer: You cannot ensure this fundamentally, but you can do a lot to motivate your participants. The most important tip here: Keep your videos short! That’s exactly why we call short learning content “Blinks”.
