Don’t let video be an afterthought

Thursday, March 4, 2021 5:00 PM

Sometimes when building a marketing plan, video content can be somewhat of an afterthought. This can be as a result of limited budgets, resources or even a lack of creative planning. If the constraints of a limited budget prevent you from implementing a full strategy, then quite often it is video that gets cut in order to save money. If you think that video content as an add-on rather than of significant value, then your digital campaign could suffer as a result of this.


Attention Span

Nowadays people have developed very limited attention spans and consequently have a difficult time reading through text or navigating their way through your website. This is where video comes into play. A short video of between 3 minutes in duration is the perfect way to promote your business. Statistics show that over 505 of digital marketers prefer video marketing and they believe it has the best ROI compared with other forms of content delivery.

The best thing about videos is that they are dynamic content rather than a static piece of text in a magazine or on a web page. This makes them instantly engaging and can, in the space of a couple of minutes, convert the viewer into making a purchase or commitment to your brand. This, compared with traditional print media is a lot faster, and let’s face it, distinctly memorable.

 

Make Video Essential

If you want to achieve high level results with your online marketing strategy then video content must be an essential component. If you are looking to reach a broader audience and capture their attention while at the same time reinforcing your brand awareness, then video is the way to go. It should be at the top of every company’s list of priorities when developing digital marketing campaigns.
