“The current pandemic has impacted all of us, and we are aware of its impact on small businesses and online entrepreneurs.  However, especially now, it’s worth remembering that our customers are not gone, they’re just at home, just like us. And it’s our mission to help businesses reach their customers with great videos,” said Tom More, CEO of Promo.com. “Online merchants don’t have the tools, time or budget required to make videos in the quality or frequency needed to succeed. Promo.com offers a video maker app with all the tools and creative ideas they need, so they can focus their most valuable resources on running their businesses.”

The app launch is part of a larger effort led by Promo.com to help small businesses (SMBs) remain relevant and active during the COVID-19 pandemic.
