It seems like every brand is doing video now, and you know what? Practically everyone is. However, it’s only as recently as 2017, that consumers began demanding more video content from brands, and it has really exploded in the past 18 months.
If you own your own business or are helping to market a small business, then it can be difficult to know where to begin. It can even feel overwhelming.
FORMING A STRATEGY
Most small businesses just decide to start shooting video and then come experience blocks.
Your video strategy is probably the most important part of video marketing. If you don’t have a solid strategy in place, then there’s no real point in posting videos – they could actually hurt your brand rather than enhance it.
Think about it – if someone has taken the time to watch your video and you don’t engage them, they probably won’t watch another. They probably won’t buy what you’re selling, no matter how brilliant it is. That’s how powerful video can be.
GREAT IDEAS, BUT WHERE TO GO FROM THERE?
Aside from developing a solid video marketing strategy, you might have some other pain points around video.
Maybe you’ve come up with some good ideas, but aren’t sure how to develop them? Perhaps you’ve started strong but now you’re stuck and don’t know where to go?
Sometimes it can be that you already have an audience hungry for content and don’t know what the best approach is.
WONDERING WHERE VIDEO FITS?
You may have a well-developed content strategy that has been focused on delivering helpful articles for your clients for a few years. Some might think if it’s not broken, why fix it?
Unfortunately, you have to stay ahead to compete, and when 93% of brands say they got at least one new customer from a video on social media, you can’t just stay back in the 2000s! You don’t need to abandon your written content, but think of video as part of your marketing strategy – another piece of the puzzle. Just because the puzzle may have got bigger doesn’t mean that the pieces don’t fit together.
UNCOMFORTABLE ON SCREEN?
I’ve encountered many small business owners that are uncomfortable with seeing themself on screen, or find that although they’re comfortable speaking in front of a room of people, when they’re being filmed, they close up.
LACKING TIME?
Many people are deterred from video because they believe they don’t have enough time. I promise you that if you consult a video marketing expert, you will save time. Plus, you’ll walk away with a superb strategy that will increase your audience, and in turn, your sales.
