# Dealership Video: Do-it-yourself or Outsource?

 Published by [Doug Thompson](https://www.vehiclestest.com/blog/author/doug-thompson) on Aug 25, 2021 11:07:06 AM

Creating your own Honda or Toyota video content at the dealership can be both frustrating and time consuming. Unless you have a dedicated staff member solely committed to shooting and editing video, the chances are your store’s video program will not perform up to expectations.

That’s because salespeople often put video creation last on their list. While technology has made it a lot easier to create video, everyday sales, follow-ups and emails get in the way of shooting a video. The further behind a salesperson falls in creating content, the more difficult it becomes and finally, it’s forgotten.![Honda and Toyota players 500](https://www.vehiclestest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Honda%20and%20Toyota%20players%20500.png?width=781&name=Honda%20and%20Toyota%20players%20500.png)
