Video Content Strategy
There is something that you have to know if you are running a small business, doing marketing for your brand or in the lead position of a large company or MNC. Video is no longer an option but a vital component for any business big or small.
Take for instance if you want to communicate your company’s manifesto or mission statement to the rest of the company. You can do it using words or text, putting it on your website or sending an email to all your employees. But the difference between using a video to communicate this and using a memo is HUGE.
With video, you are able to communicate with visual and emotional cues that will never be fully represented with text or words. In addition, you get sound, graphics or even animation to support what you want to say. In the world of communication, all these extra factors can make or break your communication strategy.
Video Builds rapport
Video also allows you to build rapport with your viewers. I know not everyone is a natural in front of a camera. But the thing about video is this – You don’t have to look like a model and speak with movie star charisma. People actually respond better if you are authentic and natural. For people who think that they are naturally camera shy or don’t like to be in front of camera, I get it. But there are other things you can do as well. Use voice over animation or design a speaking cartoon, use cutaways of video to explain what you want to say. On top of that, I am pretty sure you communicate with other members of your team right? Surely you won’t say you can’t communicate with them cause you feel shy or you don’t feel good looking enough to communicate with them?
Video gets you traffic
Video is the language of the Internet. The Internet is shifting from text to video. Just take a look at this info graphic.
Video is one of the fastest rising stars in the world of the Internet. So if you want more traffic to your site, you really need to start figuring this video situation out.
Video Create Sales
I have found that video actually does most of our selling for us. We use show reels to showcase our capabilities. For marketing and branding, video is also the number one choice because it’s easier to engage and to evoke emotions in the viewer. The content that we have created that has gone viral are also hugely video base.
Go where the attention is
We spend most of our waking hours staring at a screen. A video that we create can potentially reach out to millions of people. A few clicks of a button can create an opportunity that is unprecedented. Never in the history of time did we have this kind of access. That is why every business and every company should consider themselves as a media company. Keep generating good content, especially video content and over time you will definitely reap the benefits. Patience and hard work, my friend.
Creating quality content
Of course it doesn’t mean that a video will naturally get you tons of traffic, make you incredible amounts of money, and promoting your brand into an overnight success.
Because of the sheer amount of video content that is uploaded every single day, chances of your video getting noticed is close to zero. That’s the reality. Every video created and uploaded has to have a distribution and marketing strategy. First of all, you got to know how to create good content suitable for the target audience that you want to reach.
Then you got to do it religiously.
Then you got to understand how to use the content to reach out to your potential audience. Then you got to understand how to build a following and a sizeable audience. And don’t think that you will only be successful if you accumulate six figure followings. It’s not the width but the depth. Even if you have only ten views on your video, but one of those ten views is the key decision maker, it can literally change your life. Don’t underestimate the power of one single view. And never ever disrespect that.
