In today’s marketing environment, every business should be taking advantage of video.
Over my career in marketing and advertising, every business that I worked with used video effectively. Although they were large companies, it did not matter.
In fact, it does not matter what business you are in or the size of your business. If you are in business, there is a way you can use video to market your business effectively.
My goal is to bring ideas to the table that will allow you to use video and hopefully spark some ideas on how your business can take advantage of video in your marketing mix.
We all know that traditional television viewing is only up slightly, however, that is not the market we need to focus on at this point in time. The real growth is taking place within the Internet and mobile platforms.
Video is on the increase, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The reason is simple: It is easy to create videos. If you have a video camera, which most cell phones have, you are half way there.
It is easy for people to create videos and to share them. Best of all, they are engaging. People also like the combination of sight and sound, and the access is easy on the Internet.
Here are 10 ideas to help you generate good video content.
I hope that the information helps you moving forward. The goal is to spark some ideas in your mind as to how you could use video for your business. If you spend a little time brainstorming some ideas, I am sure that you will find a way to use video for your business.
