Using Video in Marketing
With consumers watching more videos now than ever before, it is the perfect time to integrate video into your marketing strategy. In fact, 87% of marketers say that using video in their marketing efforts has helped increase sales.
Video marketing is a strategy to market and promote your service or product through a different medium. Videos can cover an array of topics:
-
product videos
-
educational videos
-
webinars
-
more
You can introduce videos for product education, brand awareness, customer engagement and so on.
An essential aspect of video marketing is length. According to a 2023 report, short-form videos under 60 seconds and videos between five and 30 minutes were the most popular in 2022. Remember this while producing your own videos!
Video production can range from an in-house employee implementing templates on Canva all the way to a full-production video agency. Regardless of the creator, videos are a great way to gain traction and engagement. Additionally, as time proceeds and your team tracks video performance, you’ll be able to better target and create more videos for the future.
