Yes, where they are present and in the format, they are choosing right now!

AND THAT IS VIDEOS!

Let’s connect this with ourselves once more. Just a dig is needed from your subconscious mind. How many times have you witnessed an advertisement while using YouTube?

Yeah! Now that’s what we are talking about. You would indeed have skipped most of them as soon as you could, but did you skip them all?

The answer is NO. You must have watched video ads that have grabbed your attention or are from your favorite brands or the products you are willing to buy!

So, let’s move ahead and explain everything in more detail!

Role of videos in digital marketing:-

The period we are going through is the new normal! The people have adopted the change, and now the lifestyle has changed. The same scene was acknowledged by the business owners also. Most of the businesses have shifted to online modules. And that is correct.

Change is essential to succeed!

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change” -Albert Einstein.

2020 demanded a change. A change in business strategy was felt and that happened!

So, the businesses went online. For the customers present online. Leading to a marketing-driven online. Digital marketing is all that is required by businesses.

But, how to beat the competition?

The answer here emerged as videos!

Why?

Using videos showcase your products and services in a far better way than Images or any other form of content. This brings the fight towards quality!

This is the reason why a survey report by Marketing Dive says 85% of millennials have purchased a product after watching a video!

And, if we talk about all the consumer base, then Tubular Lab says, 96% of consumers surveyed found videos helpful for making online purchase decisions.

Have a look at this video,

Videos are more practical than any other format of content. For example, what will you choose if I ask you to read a 2000 word article and provide a video option? The choice is obvious, and there is science behind it.

A study claims that our brains are more likely to remember imagery or audio-visual content than text-based material. The same research also suggests that humans see an image in 13 milliseconds, sense a visual scene in 1/10th of a second, and 90% of information that is transmitted in our brains is visuals.

So, you can understand how videos can be more practical than any other content format. However, creating a video is not that easy, and several factors can affect the results you get from such a marketing strategy.

The first factor is the length of the video you want to create. In the age of Social Media, short videos are pretty popular, but the length always depends on the type of audience you are targeting.

However, companies must focus on the content at the core rather than just the length. With a 34% increase in the conversion rate due to the inclusion of videos in the marketing strategy, it is a powerful approach for several organizations. In my experience, the essential part of creating videos is scripting.

Here are some essential suggestions,

• Keep the target audience in mind while planning the video
• Create a storyboard for your video
• Prepare the script of the entire video according to the length of the video.
• Keep the video graphics quality high with better audio in case of narrations.

Well, now let’s have a look at what results can be achieved by using videos:-
