AI Promo Video for a Small Business

Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.com) makes an AI promo video for a small business out of the people who run it: upload a photo of each owner, type one line about the business, and the AI writes an original rap and shows the two of you performing it, with no filming or editing.

  • Owners on screen, no stock clips
  • One line about the business
  • 10 credits for 12 s
  • Vertical for Reels and TikTok

Quick answer

An AI promo video for a small business on Hotel Lobby Video is a short rap ad performed by the people behind it. Upload a photo of each person (or one of both), write one line with the business name, what you sell and one hook, and the AI writes an original rap and beat: the left person raps and the right one hypes. On Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p it is 10 credits for 12 seconds, and the provider quotes up to about 5 minutes. Nothing is written on screen, so add your logo, price and link afterwards. Every video is paid with credits when you create it; the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render is refunded automatically.

Why owners, not stock

A promo where customers see who runs the place

Plenty of AI ad tools lay a voice-over across stock footage. This one shows the actual faces behind the business: the AI turns your line into a short, clean verse with a beat, and a Seedance model animates your two photos into a lip-synced performance. Write the line in Spanish and the rap is in Spanish.

It fits a hair salon, a taco truck, a flower shop, a barber or a vacation rental. You pick the stage, Hotel Lobby (orange), Luxury Lobby, Studio Booth and Street Cypher, all at one price. Keep in mind it is a performance, not product footage: photo backgrounds are dropped, so the shop, the food or the product will not appear.

Shooting the ad

How to make an AI promo video for your business

  1. 01

    Upload the two faces

    One photo per owner, or you and a partner or employee who agreed. A single photo of both is fine too.

  2. 02

    Write the business line

    Under AI rap, tap My business to start the topic with “Come check out ”, then add the name, what you sell and one hook, up to 120 characters.

  3. 03

    Watch it all before posting

    Play the full video and make sure the business name and the offer come through correctly.

In the promo

What your promo video contains

01

Bars about the business

A fresh verse and beat written from your line, with no famous song underneath.

02

Faces customers recognize

Two real people from your photos, with the lead lip-synced to the vocals.

03

Fits any placement

9:16 comes preselected; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9 all cost the same.

04

Price up front

10 credits for 12 seconds at 720p. The other lengths, 5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds, show their own price.

Promo lines that work for small businesses

Business name, what you sell, one hook. Keep one offer per video and make another for the next offer.

  • A dog groomer: “Suds and Tails on Main Street: walk-ins welcome, every pup leaves with a bandana”
  • A taco truck: “Tía Rosa’s tacos, tortillas pressed fresh, parked outside the stadium every game night”
  • A bike shop: “Spoke and Chain: flats fixed in 20 minutes, coffee while you wait”
  • A café, in French: “Café des Amis, croissants sortis du four à sept heures” comes back as a French rap

What the promo video cannot do

  • Display text. There is no logo, price or link inside the video; add those in an editor, the caption or the ad.
  • Show the storefront or the product. Film those separately and splice the clips together in an editor.
  • Rap a script word for word. The AI writes its own lines; the FAQ explains how to use your exact words.
  • Use a famous song, a jingle you do not own or another company’s brand.
  • Guarantee the name is pronounced right. Words cannot be edited afterwards, and a new version costs credits again.

Using the promo for your business

The terms of service let you download and share the videos you make, and you are responsible for how you use them. They do not specifically cover paid ads or other commercial use, so read them before running the video as a paid ad. Some platforms require a label on AI-made videos; follow their rules.

Only use photos of people who agreed to appear, and only your own business name. The topic check blocks sexual or hateful topics before anything is charged, but it does not check names, and the terms do not allow content that infringes another trademark or makes a real person, public figures included, appear to endorse you.

FAQ

Small business promo video questions

Need a hand? Write to us or check the prices.

I run a small shop with my partner. Can we make a promo video from phone photos, without filming?

Yes. Upload a photo of each of you, tap My business under AI rap or write one line with the name, what you sell and a hook, and create. Nothing needs to be filmed.

How much does an AI promo video for a small business cost?

10 credits for 12 seconds at 720p; the button shows the price for other lengths and resolutions. Every video is paid with credits when you create it; the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render is refunded automatically.

Can AI write a jingle for my business?

A short one: an original rap about the business, performed by the two of you, 12 seconds by default. There is no separate audio file; the song is the MP4’s soundtrack.

Am I allowed to run it as a paid ad?

The terms let you download and share the videos you make and make you responsible for how you use them. They do not specifically address paid ads, so read the terms of service first.

Will the video show my logo, prices or web address?

No, the video has no on-screen text. Add those in a video editor, the post caption or the ad copy.

Can I supply the exact words of the ad?

Not with AI rap, which writes its own verse from your line. Instead, record your words and upload 2 to 15 seconds as Your song on Wan 3.0.

Can the ad be in Spanish or French?

Yes. Write the line in Spanish, French or any other language and the rap comes back in that language.

Which aspect ratio should a small business ad use?

9:16 for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories, 1:1 for a square feed, 16:9 for YouTube or a website. Every format costs the same.
