Though emails have been a true and steady method of communication since the 90s (and phone calls much longer), it has lost much luster since then. Many emails go unanswered or lost, due to its very nature; in our fast-paced digital era, text based communications are not only stale, but it fails to capture the audience.
To tackle this issue, Phil Horn, VP of Sales for the Sacramento Kings, turned to videos as a solution. In an interview with Phil, he recognizes the problem: “Days of cold call or simple text based emails… it’s hard for those things to stand out”. “With something like a video, you quickly get something that is like, ‘Oh, what is that? That’s different’.”
Pioneering Video Communications
In the past 8 months that I have worked here at OneMob, I was time and time again impressed by how the Sacramento Kings have taken video engagement to the next level. In many ways, the Kings have pioneered the methods for an effective communication in the sports and entertainment industry using OneMob. From leveraging GIFs on the landing page to adopting green screen for their video, they stay faithful to their sales philosophy, “[Finding] the best way to have a conversation with each individual client”.
But that’s not all. When we say OneMob is a “personal video engagement platform”, the Kings understand that the key word here is “personal”. Click the videos below to check out some real examples.
Personalized Team Video
Trevor Salyers accredited Laura Lombardo for the awesome idea to create a team video. Each member would introduce themselves to clients as their personal Membership managers, while leveraging the team video to deliver important information and provide a warm welcome to the Kings family.
Down to the Seat
Travis Case created a video showing his client exactly where they’ll be seated, and a glimpse into the view they’ll have during the game!
Checking In
Cooper Farrer:
“I like the aspect of being able to check in every now and then and just give them personal messages about what is going on and quick updates about the team.”
Why OneMob
So why do they use OneMob? I asked Travis Case from the Sacramento Kings, who responded:
“OneMob has allowed me to be able to connect visually by linking our brand with local businesses in the community […] [and] the ability to put a face to the name […] it’s not just a transactional moment, it’s an emotional moment […] moment of opportunity we were able to create. All of that has been extremely helpful by the landing page […] the landing page allows me to put clickable content in there, all the while being able to track it while my clients look at it.”
