The future of online marketing with video – video marketing is increasingly engaging the Generation Y business leaders. Online and mobile video is increasingly being watched by customers, but leveraging this as a B2B tool has been slower.

It is not a matter of if you should be marketing with video; it’s just a matter of finding the best and most effective way to do it. Your competitors are using video so don’t get left behind!
The value of video marketing
- Improved customer engagement:
Video as a medium, forces customers into a linear engagement with the message as opposed the dip-in/dip-out offered by image and text adverts.
With video, the experience is more immediate using a process of story-telling. This evokes an emotional response before a logical one. - Increased brand awareness:
Video can recreate the experience of being face to face with someone much better than through audio, image or text. This is important for branding, as it allows you to display a “human-side” more effectively. - Better search engine optimisation:
Video marketing is extremely good for SEO, as it provides benefits such as:- More traffic as Google promotes rich media, including a thumbnail of your video.
- Improved conversions as video marketing is seen to further trust and engagement.
- Build more profitable links as visitors share your video, and spend longer viewing them.
- Video search engine ranking, giving an additional source of search traffic.
