If you haven’t embraced video marketing yet, we’re bringing you a set of compelling evidence explaining why video marketing should be a major focus of your branding and marketing strategy. Visual content is effective because it’s the type of communications our brains crave.
Visual content is easier and faster for the brain to process while being an important tool for generating more views, clicks and conversions. When you decide to use a video on your website, you have a higher chance of engaging with the customers you’re looking for. Your video works like your elevator pitch available to your target group around the clock. Since 70% of the buyer’s journey is complete before a customer even contacts the company, you have to consider how the buyer meets your brand on multiple channels – and take action. We know that people watch a lot of video online. According to comScore, 45.4% of Internet users view at least one video per month. The opportunities of winning new customers by incorporating video marketing are endless. Marketers who aren’t using video marketing are missing out on a huge opportunity.
