Today, virtually every business has an internet web site, and wedding videographers are no exception. If you do an internet search of wedding videographers in your local area, you will find a list of web sites that can range from a few to a few hundred depending on the size of your city or town.
On the internet, everything is there for everyone to see. That is the idea, to get potential customers to notice your wedding video company. You want your website to really stand out and be special because you only have seconds to capture a customers attention. Once the customer finds your website, they want to get as much information as possible about you and your company.
In the wedding video business, the most important aspect of your website has to be samples or demos of your work. Brides want to see how amazing you can make their special day to remember forever.
As a wedding videographer, it is in your best interest to keep up with what other local videographers are doing so you can remain competitive in your market. What you may notice as you search through web sites is some very similar looking, or even identical video and/or graphics on two different videographer's web pages. If one wedding videographer has posted a clip or a montage that is really awesome, it will obviously draw the interest of the potential customer and a phone call to set up an appointment is likely.
If you are the wedding videographer with the awesome, attention grabbing video clip or montage, and you find the same thing on a competitors website, what should you do? There are several options, the first being, to do nothing. The most practical way to handle the situation is to contact the owner of the wedding video company that has copied from your website. Simply requesting the competitor give you credit on his website for the content he copied from you is the best solution for everyone.
If the owner of the video company does not design or maintain his own website, you can find the owner of the domain name as well as the technical contact for the website by going to whois.net and typing in the URL.
Hopefully, your competitor will be willing to do the appropriate thing and credit you on his or her website, but if not your last resort would be legal action.
