Video marketing is a key component in marketing these days. Video is King! If you aren’t using video, your business is simply missing out. You can basically clone yourself and reach a larger audience. I listed 6 keys to success for for our video marketing.
- MAKE IT PERSONAL – Use video as a way for the audience to get to know your brand a bit. Don’t be afraid to show your personality! This will make the video more interesting and engaging and create a positive brand impression for potential clients.
- SHOW, DON’T TELL – Don’t just tell them about your work, show them through great images! Shoot live video, add your favourite photos of your work and maybe even include a testimonial from a past client to bring your business to life.
- LESS IS MORE – The sweet spot for a video’s length is between 45 and 60 seconds. Interest for videos can drop off quickly, so anything beyond a minute may not be viewed in its entirety. Aim to create an engaging first 10 seconds and work to keep the full video brief to get a lot of views.
- ADD YOUR LOGO – Make sure you brand your video by adding your business logo! A great place to do this is at the start and end of the video to make a lasting brand impression.
- INCLUDE MUSIC – Music is a great addition to your video. Whether it is simply soft background music of the focus of the audio, it helps make the viewing experience more pleasant and professional.
- CALL TO ACTION – Don’t forget a call to action! Tell your viewers to take a step once the video ends. Whether that is to contact you, view your website or storefront, or share something on social, make sure you end with action.
