Using “How to Videos” to Market Your Business
Producing how to videos is an affordable way to establish your company as an industry leader while generating targeted traffic to business websites. Every day millions of people search for information that teaches them how to do everything from home repairs to starting a business. Videos are the perfect medium for providing visual and verbal instructions.
Creating how to videos is not a difficult task, but does require the ability to create a presentation that is professional looking while providing easy-to-understand instructions. It is also important to have a good understanding of SEO and copywriting skills.
There are several elements involved with online video marketing. Before shooting the first frame, it is essential to determine the audience and understand their viewing habits. Although the majority of people view videos from desktop or laptop computers, many now use handheld devices and cell phones.
Currently, about 20-percent of cell phone subscribers use mobile phones to access the Internet. This number is expected to quadruple within 2 years. Those who cater to demographic markets consisting of cell phone users should learn formatting requirements for making videos mobile-friendly. Otherwise, they could lose out on this lucrative market.
To fully capitalize with online video marketing it is essential to develop a strategic plan. Spend time researching the various video publishing directories to determine which ones reach your target market. Videos can also be published via company websites and blogs and promoted via social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.
People devour instructional videos because they solve problems. Companies that take time to provide easy-to-understand instructions can open the floodgates to attract loyal customers. Not only will they buy your product or service, they will also promote your company.
Another advantage of online videos is they provide opportunity to establish your company as an industry expert. Therefore, it’s important to produce quality videos that portray a positive image.
While it is not prerequisite to use a video camera to create videos, producing live action videos tends to produce better results than creating videos as a slideshow. If necessary, online videos can be created using a program such as PowerPoint and include still photos or graphics, along with text to provide written instruction.
Those who have never created online videos may find it advantageous to spend time viewing videos published by competitors. It is also helpful to enroll in a video production seminar or purchase a marketing training course. Doing so can save time, money, and frustration.
Modern technology has made video production an easy task. Those who don’t own a digital camera with built-in video capabilities may want to invest in a new video camera. Kodak offers a high-quality HD camera that includes built-in editing software and the ability to instantly publish to social media sites such as Facebook, as well as email or text videos to customers.
Companies that prefer to develop fast-paced videos may find GoPro cameras a good option. These tiny cameras can be mounted in cars, boats, airplanes, helmets, and can even be used underwater.
Business owners who don’t have time or desire to produce how to videos should consider hiring a video production company. People often fear this option is cost-prohibitive, but the truth is quality videos can pay for production costs. Professionally produced videos retain customers’ attention and provide a better return on investment than a poor quality video produced by amateurs.
Not only do videographers own required video equipment and editing software, they also know which images and buzzwords produce emotions and encourage viewers to buy. Although the upfront costs for video production companies are higher than in-house production, quality videos should generate sufficient revenue to cover expenses.
Hiring marketing staff and training employees to produce videos can be costly. Not to mention the costs of buying video equipment. Hiring a production crew can be costly as well. One option to reduce overhead is to reach out to local colleges or vocational schools. Oftentimes, students can be hired for a fraction of the cost.
Incorporating how to videos into marketing plans can build brand recognition, improve customer relations, and enhance online visibility. Learning how to effectively use this affordable advertising medium can provide positive and profitable results.
