However, one video alone cannot achieve all this. A combination of different types of videos, published to different channels and online platforms, will serve a variety of purposes while at the same time forming a cohesive campaign that instills brand recognition and drives traffic to your site.
Videos, together with other digital marketing strategies, better provide consumers today with what they want — more engagement and a positive experience from the companies they choose to do business with.

Following the steps will help ensure optimal benefit from your videos.
