As a business owner, you may be tempted to save a few bucks by hiring your nephew to produce your company's video. After all, he's a tech-savvy teenager and he's always messing around with his phone camera, right? Wrong. Hiring your nephew to do your company video is a recipe for disaster. Here's why:
Lack of experience: Just because your nephew can make a mean TikTok doesn't mean he's ready to tackle your company's video. Professional video production requires a certain level of skill and expertise that your nephew probably doesn't have. A well-produced video is an important marketing tool for any business, and it's essential to have a team with the necessary experience and skills to create a high-quality final product.
Potential conflict of interest: Hiring your nephew to produce your company's video is a surefire way to create a potential conflict of interest. Imagine the awkward family dinners when your nephew messes up and you have to fire him.
Perception of favoritism: Even if your nephew does a great job on the video, others in your company may perceive the hiring as favoritism. And who can blame them? It's tough to compete with someone who's related to the boss.
Lack of objectivity: It's important to have a certain level of objectivity when producing a company's video. But let's be real, your nephew is probably more interested in impressing his friends than creating a professional-quality video for your business. A professional video production team, on the other hand, will be focused on creating a video that meets your business goals and objectives.
Reputation: Your business's reputation is important, and hiring your nephew to produce your company's video can damage that reputation. Potential clients and customers may view the hiring as unprofessional, and it could negatively impact their perception of your business.
Quality: Ultimately, hiring your nephew to produce your company's video is unlikely to result in a high-quality final product. While he may be a talented amateur videographer, he probably doesn't have the experience and expertise to create a professional-quality video that meets your business's needs.
In conclusion, hiring your nephew to do your company video is a bad idea. Save yourself the headache and hire a professional video production team. Don't risk damaging your business's reputation – invest in a professional team to produce your company's video. Trust us, your nephew (and your family dinners) will thank you.
