Why video marketing is so powerful

To ascertain why exactly video marketing has become such a powerful and necessary part of digital marketing, you first need to realize what video marketing really is. Sure, with today’s technology, anyone can easily put together a video and publish it to multiple channels. But real video marketing, professional video marketing, delivers multiple benefits, such as promoting your business, establishing your brand identity, building a loyal audience and increasing your customer base, and establishing you as an authority in your industry.

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.

Common types of videos:

  1. Product presentation videos
  2. Video teasers
  3. Tutorials
  4. Testimonials
  5. Corporate branding films
  6. Commercials
  7. Video for social media
  8. Explainer videos
  9. And more…

 

Benefits of video marketing

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. Today, engagement is more important than the price of a product or service, and through videos, brands can engage with their customer base in a way that improves brand recognition and online visibility.

Consider the following benefits of video marketing and you’ll quickly begin to realize why video marketing is so powerful:

  • Consumers Prefer Videos to Reading Text
  • Video Marketing Increases Your ROI
  • Videos Play a Large Part in the Decision-Making Process
  • Video Marketing Enables You to Increase Your Online Presence and Strengthen Your Brand
  • Video Marketing Helps You Build Trust with Your Audience and Establishes Your Brand as an Authority
  • Professional Video Marketing is Not Expensive
  • Videos Can Help You Increase Sales Better Than Content Marketing
  • Video is Especially Appealing to Mobile Users

The next few years will prove to be very interesting as many brands ramp up their video marketing efforts. You don’t want to risk being left behind by not doing the same or not devoting enough time or effort to your own video marketing campaign. Instead, consider video marketing a new marketing weapon in your arsenal — deployed properly, you maintain and grow your edge over your competitors.
