How Anyone Can Win At Creating Video Marketing Strategies

By Andersen Hanne


Marketing in business isn't exactly rocket science, but it isn't always easy either. The following article will offer you interesting advice on how to market using video. It's highly effective and relatively easy to learn and the benefits to your business could be enormous. Check it out and excited about marketing again!

Videos make your site more interactive but keep in mind that they are not an ideal solution for your search engine optimization campaign. You can optimize your videos by choosing descriptive titles filled with keywords and adding a transcript or a summary of the content of the video you want to feature.

If you have a brick and mortar store, don't think online videos can't work to promote your business. They can, and do. Start with a video tour of your shop, introducing yourself and showcasing your best products and services. Done correctly, video marketing can help personalize your business and reach new customers. So, turn on that camera and show the world why they should trade at your shop.

Use events such as expos and trade shows to interview experts. You can then post the interviews on your site as a resource for your viewers. Ask the types of questions that your audience would ask and try to keep the interview as interesting as you can to hold your viewer's attention.

Make sure your content is considered interesting. It should be entertaining and/or newsworthy. You may be able to boost your views with a video hosting site, but it won't really work out if you have boring videos. People go online for entertainment, not sales pitches. You can continually increase your traffic by always providing interesting videos.

You don't need top-quality production values to make a successful video. As long as your video is focused and well-balanced, you can use standard equipment. There really isn't even any need to polish your script or come off as a professional pitchman. You should try being natural and speaking as you normally do. You might not need to do even that much. You can also use pictures or PowerPoint slides if you do not want to appear in your videos.

When you post your video on YouTube, don't forget to use annotations. These allow you to point to other similar videos you have or to ask people to subscribe to your video. You can even use this with a "Pop-Up Video" effect to keep viewers engaged and entertained as they watch.

Product manufacturers or resellers should create videos showing how the product can be used in alternative ways. For example, while duct tape is great for ducts, Duck Tape has created how-tos for a million other projects, even how to create a wallet! This leads to amazing viral video success on their part.

Interview a prominent business person and share that video in your video marketing campaign. This can not only help you build your client list, but can also help the person you interview build their client list. This type of video marketing can help set you apart as an industry leader.

If you work with some colleagues or employees, get them involved in your video marketing campaign. Search for someone who smiles often, dresses nicely, talks clearly, and seems comfortable being recorded. If you can, use more than one colleague.

What would you ask about your product if asked? Your customers are likely to want the answers to these questions. Make a video about those questions for an easy and interesting dictation of facts. Remember to keep your video highly engaging and interesting so that people will want to watch and pass it on to others.

To conclude, due to the current technological age, businesses have to be more creative in promoting themselves if they wish to succeed. Video marketing is one of the most popular ways of doing so. You can stand out from the other businesses out there by utilizing these tips on properly implementing online videos.
