Hi Pam! Thanks for sending your question and participating in our Video FAQ.

Yes, you may download any video you receive through your Bravo video portal (the raw source file is usually around 1MB). Don’t forget that you can also copy the embed code to stream it on your website, blog, etc.

Please stay in touch with us once you’ve downloaded and curated your videos – we’d love to see how the collage turns out!

Have a question? Ask us anything and with your permission we’ll address it right here on our blog.

Easy. Just ask one of our customers from Minneapolis, Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning:

They proudly display their recent video testimonials on their website, inviting new prospects to have a look. We also noticed that they’ve strategically displayed quite a few call-to-actions on their pages to get current customers to participate.

Just think about the credibility this brings to their company. When you’re surfing the web and looking for a professional service, how often do you find actual video testimonials from real customers? Not often enough!

They’re reaping the benefits of true, digital word-of-mouth advertising. Kudos Pronto!

Video Allowance Alerts

When you login to your account, you’ll now notice a new section on your dashboard called Account Details. This will give you a quick glimpse at how many video submissions you’ve received in the current month. If/when you’ve reached your limit, a notification will now appear at the top of the page.

Multiple Email Address Capability For New Video Notifications

We’ve added the capability of sending notifications to multiple email addresses when new videos are received. On the My Account page, simply add multiple email addresses in the appropriate field, separated by commas, and save your settings. Now, every time you received a new video submission, these addresses will receive the notification.

If you do not wish to receive new video notifications, simply select “Unsubscribe”.

Anytime we notice a customer doing great things with Bravo, we simply have to show it off.

Jet Hockey is currently asking their visitors what they like best about the arena. Their call-to-action sits at the top of their website, remaining visible to their audience on all pages.

We hope this brings in many, many happy customer videos for them to proudly publish in the near future!

Jerry Evans has a love for teaching music. With over 9 years of experience, he’s dedicated to making sure that all of his students are constantly improving and getting the most out of their talents. Jerry’s music studio caught our attention because it was so evidently clear that his passion for music and teaching guides the way he runs his business – kudos!

What motivated you to start your own company?

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to get the most from their talents, and I really enjoy seeing children and adults play music to the best of their abilities. Being self-employed and running my own studio gives me the freedom to “tweak” my teaching and structure any time I can find another opportunity to improve upon my students’ education.

What’s special about your business?

My guitar, bass, and drum students have a great time while in the studio. They start to fulfill their musical dreams, and sometimes go on to play in front of thousands & even travel nationally. In fact, two of my students just won their age category at the 31st annual Chicago Music Awards.

How will you use Bravo Video?

I can think of a number of different ways, but I will first use it to show people on my website all the great things they can learn when they come get music lessons here at my studio.

Congratulations Jerry! We applaud your efforts and welcome you to our growing roster of Bravo New Business Program members!
