VIDEO MARKETING

WHY SHOULD I USE VIDEO MARKETING TO PROMOTE MY BUSINESS?

One area that has experienced recent growth is online video advertising; no surprise as video marketing improves audience engagement:

  • Increases brand awareness.
  • Helps with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

On the whole video generates more traffic through rich content, improves shares and conversations, builds links and ensures your brand has a presence on the Video Search Engine.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER VIDEO MARKETING FOR MY BRAND?

It will help your brand stand out from the competition. Videos are more eye-catching than text making them a more distinct form of brand promotion.

Create interactivity & user interest: Video advertising will help create higher levels of interactivity and user interest in whatever you are promoting. Well produced videos are both fun and informative to watch; this will encourage your audience to come back for more.

Rank well in Search Engines. Well-made videos rank extraordinarily well in search engines due to descriptive tags you can associate with them and the partnership between video sites and search engines, such as You Tube & Google.

Others will share it. An entertaining, funny or informative video can quickly be spread around the internet. If one person likes the video it may be shared with others. It may even go viral. This increases the reach and scope of your advertising without you having to do any additional work.
