New to Corporate Videos	Can't Post

I've been doing Wedding & Special Event Videography and have recently received a call for a Business Video. My qustions is, all though I'm not new to videography, how should I best "sell" my services without coming out and telling the prospective client that I have only been doing weddings and special events? I'm thinking on making a "Business Only" Brochure for the prospective client. What should I include? Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I would seriously consider doing a few business video projects for free.
You might start with a Public Service Announcement for a local
non-profit you admire. Then graduate up to a small business video.
Keep in mind these are both in the realm of marketing and
advertising. When you produce one of these videos your job
is to deliver results to a client, no matter if the client
is paying you.
For more information on all of this see my book "Marketing With Video."
You can read a lot of it for free at

Hope this helps you.
Best,
Hal
