In business, finding ethical ways to gain advantages over competitors can be a key to success. Moreover, when specific ways to gain advantages are well known like video brochures and available to everyone, companies who decide to use them often enjoy greater success. Companies who don’t tend to be the ones who step over dollars to pick up pennies (not a wise way to think, but unfortunately far too common).
From what we’ve learned, the decision to use or not use video brochures seems to be a perfect example of this concept. Despite how well they perform and how profitable they are, not all companies use them. Also, not all companies who have them actually use them. Maybe they just don’t understand how effective video brochures can be, or maybe they purchased them from the wrong company and the quality just isn’t as good as they had hoped. Regardless, when used strategically and well-made, they provide great advantages.
Here are 20 advantages of using video brochures
- When salespeople leave them with prospects, it indicates how much their company truly wants their business.
- They help salespeople feel more confident and less likely to give in to inhibitions.

Video brochures are ideal for many purposes
We live in a time when watching videos has become common for people almost everywhere. Videos are many people’s preferred method of learning, and they take less effort from viewers to watch. That’s important in this day and age because attention spans seem to be shorter than ever. Videos also grab attention, peak curiosity, and make messages more memorable by engaging more senses.
Likewise, marketing with videos has proven to be highly successful. They are the prime reason video brochures reportedly produce outstanding ROI, and they are highly efficient when used for most presentations. On top of that, distributing them is less expensive than paying for someone’s time and travel expenses.

Having owned an advertising magazine in Utah, I’ve worked in marketing for over twenty years.
I started writing for MediaFast in 2014. The first time I held one of their video brochures, I thought something like, “Wow! This blows away our magazine and any other print advertising I’ve ever seen. This is like a TV commercial, and I’m holding it in my hands. Amazing!”
Since then, video brochures, video mailers and video boxes have become leaders in marketing performance. It’s a privilege to write about them. I also love MediaFast—with its top-notch product quality, industry leading customer service, and all of the wonderful people I get to work with.
