A video can engage the laziest of people – it is so easy to watch a video, it doesn’t require much energy and effort! Any person would prefer watching a video over having to read something. Watching a video is simply easy!

A video can evoke emotions far more greatly than words – a video grabs the attention of your auditory and visual senses and can influence your customers far more than just words because words only grab visual senses.

A video can explain everything – With the help of a video, complex data can be easily explained and understood.

You can start standing up for great causes and make people aware – Through a video, you can put your vision out way more clearly than you can do with words. You can promote your brand as well as the cause that you believe in! The best example of this is Dove, when Dove started their campaign discussing and recreating the definition of beauty. The message portrayed inclusivity of women as beautiful and worthy irrespective of shape, size and color!

Google loves videos! – Videos allow you to increase the time spent by visitors on your site. Thus, longer exposure builds trust and signals search engines that your site has good content.
“You’re 53 times more likely to show up first on Google if you have a video embedded on your website” according to Moovly.

Video builds greater trust – When you are focused on providing videos in your content you give a subtle message to your customers that you care about them and build greater trust which in turn will help you in greater sales and ROI.

Video appeals to the millennials – it is a generation of busy people! People find a video more appealing than a descriptive post or blog because that doesn’t require any effort. It is easy and preferable.

Videos are easily accessible – You can watch a video on your smartphone at any given time! Every year, the number of smartphone users is only increasing! YouTube reports mobile video consumption rises 100% every year. A study showed that people are far more likely to feel personally connected to a video when they viewed it on their phones rather than on any other device!

The bottom line is!

Video marketing is easy and effective. It can work wonders, engage your audience greatly and bring you a tremendous ROI! Get creative. Think outside the box. Have a vision and be very focused and determined about what message you want to convey to your customer and what kind of emotions you want to evoke in your customers.
