The Power of Video in Marketing Your Business

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. Don’t you think video really should be a part of your marketing plan?

Show me.
Because video is eye-catching, it can help you stand out from the crowd and draw in potential customers. Videos can clearly define your business more succinctly and in a much more interesting way then text. Video can bring a personality to your small business, while also demonstrating your authenticity. So if a picture speaks a thousand words, a video speaks a million!

Spread the word, umm... video!
Videos can be shared easily to help spread the word about your products and services. Create a YouTube channel and link your YouTube videos to your website, blog and all your social media. Links between your YouTube channel and website can boost your rank in search engine results. Use the video to encourage viewers to visit your website for more information.

What should my videos be about?
Different types of content work for different types of businesses. Here are some ideas:

1.   Customer success stories

2.   A brief company intro

3.   Product demonstrations

4.   Interviews clients and industry experts

5.   Record conference or seminar presentations you give

6.   Product reviews and testimonials

7.   "How-to" videos or short tutorials

8.   Introduce viewers to staff that have consumer contact, such as customer service. It's nice to put a face to a voice.
