3 Reasons You Need to Use Video In Your Marketing
Using video in your marketing is something you want to be integrating as a part of your plan. It is getting too big to ignore and you can’t deny the results. I want to share 3 reasons I think video needs to be integrated into your marketing plan.
Video allows for a much better, deeper connection than you can get through just text or photos. Text and photos have their place but video allows you to connect on a whole different level. Video is just a more effective form of communication. I can’t tell you how many times I get comments on my video e-mails or people watching them over and over. While I love text e-mails I don’t get people reading them again and again.
Video helps you build your brand. Video helps you engage, share who you are and build trust and rapport with your customers. People buy from people they like, know and trust and nothing compares to the power of video when it comes to relationship building and engagement. Even big companies are starting to realize how valuable this is and implementing it into their marketing. Video marketing allows your customers a more intimate interaction with you, making them feel like they know you and helps relieve some of their buying anxiety.
You can’t ignore the statistics on how powerful video is. Just look around the internet and you will see stats everywhere about the use of video. One of the most telling in my mind is the stat from Cisco saying that video currently accounts for 30% of internet traffic but by 2013 it will account for 90% of internet traffic. Another site I ran across lately called Invodo has a whole page of impressive statistics of video, you can check it out here.
I have been using video e-mail lately as a way to connect with family, new customers and people on social media and love the responses I am getting to it. I love the company I use because they offer Free Video e-mail and extremely affordable video conferencing. I know there are lots of companies out there that offer these same services and they are wonderful as well but I have not seen any other company offering free video e-mail.
If you are not already using videos or video e-mails I highly suggest you think about integrating it into your plan. Take sometime to do your research and see what works for you and your business. You won’t regret it!
