Video Marketing: How To Succeed With It

By Joseph Stan


If you want to increase your traffic and sales then you should seriously consider implementing video marketing in your business. Videos are a great way to communicate a direct message to your potential customers or prospects. The more you know about the science behind creating promotional videos for your business the more success you'll be able to have.

If you're creating a marketing video, make it concise and short. A lot of people do not have a very long attention span and they want to get information in a straight forward manner. If a longer video is unavoidable, think about dividing it into segments that can be watched in stages. Production value doesn't have to be the most important part of your process. Spending a lot on making the video does not ensure good results. Huge companies have made great marketing plans with simple videos.

You have a small window of time to get attention from viewers. That's why the first few seconds are so important. You should use an unusual perspective or hook to draw them in for the duration of the video. If you are using the video to tempt people to buy a product and/or service, you must provide a link for them to use to make the purchase. It's a good idea to have the link play within the video player. This way, this link will be there in case people end up sharing the video somewhere else.

The content of your video is always important, but keep in mind that having a strong call to action at the end of your video is also important. If you are trying to generate a sale then you need to tell your viewer to click the link below or click the buy button. Your call to action needs to be there so the viewer knows what are the following steps after watching your video.

Hopefully you now see that even something as making a promotional video needs to be well planned and designed in a way that you can truly benefit from your work. We hope that you gained some valuable new knowledge from this article and that you go out there and implement this information the next time you decide to create a video.
