What Video Marketing Is

By Jane Haselmere


Video marketing at its best is using quick, attractive and educational video clips as part of a way to promote a company's products. These videos are created purely to highlight the company and make as many consumers aware about what the corporation offers as you possibly can.

Video clip advertising holds a small edge over written advertising because it is much easier for consumers to gain access to and watch videos; it offers an opportunity to focus on a particular market and is a medium that can be used to explain just about any concept. Additionally, it can reach individuals who may not otherwise discover you simply because they do not especially like looking at advertising or simply just disregard them.

There are 3 important sorts of video marketing; the 1st of them is when corporations produce modest video clips about particular topics using written material from other sources. By far the most common way for you to convert the written text content to a video is to use a PowerPoint presentation, along with related photos plus some kind of audio track, whether it be a voice-over or music. You can actually transform a long boring piece of content into a stunning video clip that can capture peoples' imagination and communicate your company's sales message with hardly any effort.

The second type ill highlight is viral marketing, this has massive potential but is very hard to fully exploit, it works by creating a video that will hint and tease at your product, or will just hook people in with comedy, gimmicks or outstanding content that will cause a buzz. The buzz is all important as it is the required push people need to share the video and talk about it, if the video can hit a social networking site quite quickly and the buzz is sufficient enough it has the potential to go global and reach people in places your company wouldn't have got to via standard marketing measures. One of the most famous of these in recent times is the "Old Spice" campaign, which eventually made it to TV but spread like wildfire virally first.

Finally, Social Video marketing, this is very similar to the Viral method but it differs in the impression it wants to create, viral is all about pass on rate and one way traffic as it does get passed on, whereas social video marketing is about causing conversation between social groups. It aims for a longer lasting effect.
