Video Marketing is huge and if you are still waiting for the next big wave of social media, you could be waiting a very long time.
According to Knoxweb Video Marketing is the way of the future with more and more people watching video ads in favor of plain text or photo ads. Knowing how to market your business or organization with video is the first step in video marketing, but are you equipped to write, produce, edit, and publish your video content?
Knoxweb explains that as many as 80 percent of people online can recall a video ad that they saw within the past month. For any business, this is a very powerful statistic, and when you combine it with the 64 percent that are more apt to purchase a service or product online after seeing a video ad, adding video to your online marketing campaigns could be a very smart move.
Below are a few steps that you may want to consider before you start your online video marketing strategy.
Determine and Define your Goals
Before you write your script, it is important to consider what you want to accomplish with your video marketing campaign. Do you want to make your presence known with a story, or do you want to convince your potential clients and customers with a video testimonial? Once your goals have been identified, you can determine the best way to achieve them. Hiring Knoxweb for your video marketing campaign is a good way to go, especially if you are planning a complex video.
Select your Platform
Video can mean dozens of things in the digital world. If you follow the Knoxweb blog, you will know that you can go Live on Facebook, or shoot a more traditional long form commercial or video for YouTube. These days television commercials aren’t the only avenue when it comes to choosing your platform and medium.
When you work with Knoxweb, you can test Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube in order to determine what would be the most effective platform for your campaign. Knoxweb may recommend a 10-minute video that you could host on your website while posting a teaser three minute clip on YouTube and a 30 to 60-second clip on Twitter and Facebook.
Technical Aspects
If you want to look professional, it is important to remember that there is a certain degree of technical care that needs to be considered if you want people to watch your videos. Frame rate, resolution, and load time can have a dramatic affect on your video marketing campaign. Testing your video before you go live is imperative if you want to avoid abandonment. The last thing you want is to turn viewers away because your video file is too large taking too long to load on a Smartphone or tablet.
Knoxweb can also check your drop off and completion rate. This will help you determine what your viewers like and don’t like about your video ad.
Other things to consider when it comes to your video marketing campaign include views over time and total views. With views over time, you can determine if your campaign is becoming less or more popular. You can also check how many people click through to your business website.
According to Knoxweb, a third of all internet activity is video based with more and more companies opting for video ads when it comes to online marketing. Video content is one of the best ways to target and engage a larger audience.
