Why You Should Use Videos To Market Your Business

December 19, 2014 by bpsitemgr Leave a Comment

Here are 5 reasons why your small business should use YouTube

An overwhelming number of businesses are now using social media marketing. However most businesses are still focusing on Facebook and Twitter while  ignoring probably the most effective vehicle of all, YouTube and other video sharing sites

Video provides an excellent opportunity for your brand to show off its products and connect with existing and potential customers as

many people would prefer to watch a video instead of reading a huge chunk of written information. And since more consumers are spending time online instead of watching TV, the popularity of videos online is growing exponentially.

Offering video is a great way to help attract visitors to your website and keep them engaged. Here are 5 reasons to start creating video content now:

Firstly, Creating original video content improves your SEO

Video is regularly shared via social media and email. So Google and other search engines tend to favor sites that offer it. Hosting video and images on your webpages will improve the overall quality of your site, as well as enticing visitors to stay longer. This in turns gives you a better chance of ranking higher than your competitors in search engine results.

The second reason for creating video content is because it is a powerful brand equity tool

Using videos to market your product helps to convey brand messages that would be lost if you were providing purely written information. Video allows for your brand to capture emotions and visual attributes of your product that leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Thirdly there is huge potential to get your message in front of a wide audience

Video is a highly shareable format – if you watch something that’s engaging, you’re likely to send it on to a friend, and that friend is also likely to pass it on to a wider audience. In this way, your video content has the potential to go viral and connect with a wide range of potential customers.

With content marketing like blog articles, your written content is rarely published in more than one place. Videos are much easier to syndicate via social media, industry websites and brand partnerships.

Fourthly video content is quite easy and inexpensive to produce

Many videos that have gone viral on YouTube have been produced using a webcam or camera phone with inbuilt recording facilities. Depending on how you want your brand to be perceived, it is easy to produce original, engaging and useful video content on a relatively small budget.

Finally, mobile plays better on mobile devices

Webpages accessed via mobile is growing rapidly. The great news is that all smartphones and other tablet devices are optimized for playing video content. Not only will this increase the ability for your video content to be seen, but it will also differentiate your business from competitors.
