Video is everywhere. It’s how we communicate, entertain, learn, and of course advertise. It’s popular because it’s engaging and preferred by consumers. Video provides effortless consumer engagement while authentically showcasing your products and company’s brand story.
Video is effortless for consumers. It is much easier for them to be enticed with a video than reading an article or flipping through the newspaper. People like watching video so much that entire careers have been created by filming and sharing just about anything. So many trends have grown through videos on the internet, why don’t you use it to grow your business?
A video plants a memory of you, your business, and products in someone’s mind. Seeing video allows someone to put a face to the name in a sense. Consumers will see an example of your products, your business name and maybe even what your building looks like. A video encourages consumers to remember you and your business when they’re ready to go shopping.
Video builds trust. Most consumers do research online before buying to make sure they get the best product and price from the best business. The business with a captivating online presence will be the one to earn that trust and the sale. A video invokes emotion and shows consumers who you are. When they see a video, it gives comfort that they will get what they are looking for and most importantly, won’t be swindled. Your relationship starts before the customer walks through your door and the best way to make a good first impression is with video content.
In a world of scrolling, video stands out. Gone are the days of twiddling thumbs because they’re busy mindlessly scrolling. A video gives a break to that routine, an opportunity to look at something new for the consumer and a chance for you to catch a sale.
