Still Confused About Having Videos For Your Business?? 

In this blog, we’ll share some great insights that prove that now is the right time to make your first marketing video.

Video marketing may be a bit broader term for you. The simplest explanation is a video can tell complete story about your product, hence it a good medium for brand Promotion and marketing.

But the spectrum of video marketing takes form in avenues from animated GIFS, to short Social Media videos and longer streaming from leaders such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Why your business should have it?……….Video Marketing allows your viewers to dive into the world of a brand or business, getting the entire “feel” of their offering in as little as a few seconds as opposed to reading the boring content. Videos are engaging and entertaining.

Key Occasions When Your Businesses Need Video Representation:
 

Product Launch Videos

Nothing is better than using a product video to show your prospects when you are launching a new product in the market and showcasing how great they are.

It’s time that you show your product in action: to encourage your leads to convert, it’s very powerful to help show them your product being used by a real person.

But the live action is not the only way to make a product video!

In the case of digital products, you can use screencast video such as a digital recording of a screen, paired with an audio narration, or it could be an animated marketing video.

Product Demo Videos

Another helpful type of video content is the product demos, which has been popularized by tech sites and blogs the world over.

If you have an audience that trusts you, you’re actually doing them a favor by reviewing and giving the demo of the products that they might find useful. They can just rely on your recommendation instead of having to figure things out for themselves.

Testimonials

According to Neil Patel, 71% say positive reviews make them trust a local business more.

When the customers hear someone who isn’t connected to your brand talk highly of it; they’re more likely to trust its superiority.

A great way to acquire these testimonials is during an in-store event, trade show, or after the release of your latest project.

Furthermore; you can look out for excited attendees who are eager to share their satisfaction about your products with others.

Vlogs Or Webinars

As was said at the beginning, it takes more than just written words on a blog page to catch someone’s attention. Vlogs and webinars, on the other hand, are enough to do it.

Creating weekly or monthly vlogs on various topics could get you a loyal audience and fan following, eager to tune in for the next installment.

Event Videos

Event videos bring the party to viewers who couldn’t make it and extend the reach of any single event exponentially.

How many of us actually went to the event where your company participated? Now compare that to how many of us know about it, and have seen it year after year. 

When you are having your own event or you are participating in one; capturing a live event video increases a brand’s online presence in a way that the live event itself is not able to by reaching the right verticals.

Company Culture Videos

It is a must-have video. Culture videos can include slice-of-life employee interviews, game days in the office, pranks, birthday parties, and everything in between.

Even though; you don’t have a whimsical, fairytale culture like Google or Pixar, you still have a company culture that you can share with viewers.

Tutorial Videos

Companies and major brand are seen using Tutorial Videos which in a way promotes their product/services. 

If you are seeking to reach out the wider audience base to let people know about your product it will be interesting to make a tutorial video.

A helpful content has to be more than just promotional tie-ins and soft selling because consumers are always smart enough to know when they’re being sold. 

Therefore; the company can focus on producing more helpful product tutorials, for example, while a health and wellness brand might put out training videos that offer workout tips.

Think of one way you could offer an actionable resource relevant to your target vertical, and you’ve got yourself a tutorial video maybe even a series.

In marketing, there is a fine balance between what we as marketers think is interesting social media content and what our audience thinks is interesting. The challenging part is separating the two and putting your audience first.
