How it works
Mix-Tapes / Highlight reels have grown to be the most important element of recruiting. For players, being able to provide a high quality presentation of their skills, is critical. For scouts, coaches and program directors, being able to rapidly asses a players skills without traveling, has become just as critical. Unfortunately highlight clips can be expensive and as a result not every player, coach, or program can afford to pay for a highlight film complete with professional editing. Further, network coverage, while terrific for exposure, does not allow for personally crafted video and most coaches / program administrators do not have enough time to sit through full games for every prospect in any given sport. Finally, not everyone can afford a website subscription fee either. As a result, BallerClips was born. We provide an economic method for players to access the most important ingredient of the highlight reel process which is of course the individual players recorded performance, and most importantly we provide you, as the business owner with a much more consumer friendly means to provide your materials to your customers.
BallerClips serves as a hub for you to market your work. You will still record / photograph sporting events just as you do today. You would partner with us at BallerClips to create an e-commerce shop to sell your products resulting from that event.
Once signed up we would create your own shop. In that shop you would list all the available products from that event. That could be 1 large video file, 3,000 pictures, 180 raw video clips, or 100 edited video clips. That is where the uniqueness of your store comes in; you get to determine how your store works; you are the owner of the shop, not us. BallerClips is there to provide you with the store, you determine what you are selling and what kind of consumers you are marketing to.
In a nutshell, you cover an event as you do today, nothing changes. Once the event is completed you would load your products to BallerClips. If you are selling videos you would load one long file named with the identifier for that specific event. This long form video will play with a watermark over the video to prevent screen recording. This long video will be divided by clip numbers to identify each significant event that you captured and wish to sell as an item. Your customer’s then identify the clips which pertain to them and which they would like to purchase. Once they have identified the clips which they want to purchase our customers commit those items to their cart and purchase those items just like any other site such as Amazon or Walmart, etc…After payment is confirmed your customer will receive an email with the download link for the videos purchased which will not have a watermark.
That’s all there is to it, no subscription, no need to build a profile, etc… your customers are simply buying products featuring them, from you. Once they download the clips they are free to do whatever they wish with the video clips including editing on their own, sending to a prospective coach / program as is, requesting you build a mix tape, or should they choose, paying another service to convert those clips into a highlight video. Your customer’s can post them to any social media site, send them to everyone they know, whatever they want to do with them, they can do it. The whole point of the service is to provide you with a storefront which will allow your customers to more freely access your products. You choose the pricing of each product to best suite the needs of your customer.
Say goodbye to the days of marketing only one or two mix-tapes from any event. Forget leaving hundreds of high quality clips on the cutting room floor with no audience. Say hello to the world’s only sports clip e-commerce platform.
