How To Market Your Business Using Videos

By Cory Torres


Today, you will find that online videos are doing well in the marketing department of things. Shooting and uploading videos is easier than ever. As more people use broadband connections, it is easy for them to watch your videos. These tips will help you get started with video marketing.

Any marketing video should be short. People generally have a small attention span and want quick access to information. If a longer video is unavoidable, think about dividing it into segments that can be watched in stages.

It is not likely your customers will want to watch videos that are more than 20 minutes long. If you are using the video to perform a demonstration or step-by-step guide, give yourself as much time as possible, even up to 20 minutes, to ensure that you fit everything in. If you just want to get your name out there or give them a deal, do not go longer than 10 minutes.

If you want to promote a certain product or service in a video, you need to provide your viewers with a link they can follow to obtain the product or service. Try to include the link inside the video player. This way, this link will be there in case people end up sharing the video somewhere else.

Use video marketing to reach out to your customers. Try asking viewers to ask questions in vidoe form and then answer then this way. Send out some sample products to the chosen questions.

Make sure your videos are full of interesting information. Make your video really pack a punch. You may be able to boost your views with a video hosting site and SEO packages, but it won't really work out if you have boring videos. Viewers want to learn something or get some type of benefit from what they are watching. The more interesting and engaging your videos, the more likely you will be to see sustained growth and increases in traffic.

Each video should be about a precise topic. When you don't prepare it is easy to chase rabbits. Create an outline of your video, and stick to this outline when shooting the video. Keep your eye on the prize and stick with what the topic is teaching if you are hoping for marketing success.

Don't overlook YouTube. This is the starting point for your entire campaign. The hosting is free! It is also the third most popular website on the net. Additionally, it is one of the top search engines, especially for videos.

Do not forget an introduction and an ending in your video. State your name and position, the company name and what you are going to talk about. Be sure to say your business name again at the end of the video, and then encourage your viewers to take a look at your site and make a purchase.

Videos are a great way to promote everything you run online, from your storefront to your social media accounts. Someone who accidentally finds you on YouTube might not have the slightest clue that you are also on Facebook. They will begin to create a feedback loop of self-promotion. Social media sites that you link to a video can increase traffic by quite a bit.

Prepare a script for the opening and closing of your video. Start by saying who you are, your company, and what your video will be about. Ending your video, share your company name again and share your call to action.

There are many wonderful ways to market your company; the number one being video marketing. However, you need to have a good grasp of the technique before using it. Apply the advice from this article, and you will be on your way to creating video marketing material that you can feel confident in.
