Making contact with the right prospects often determines how successful companies become, and in today’s digital world, using videos has proven to be an excellent strategy.
With that said, the first step for companies who use videos is for their marketing departments to determine how to optimize the number of views their videos will receive from ideal prospects. Video mailers have proven to be excellent for that purpose, and many of our customers have shared with us how much more successful they’ve become because of how well their video mailers have performed.
Why marketing to ideal prospects is important
Marketing is defined as the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. Basically, anytime someone is hoping to gain something from someone else (either money or something of value in return), any action they take in an effort to get what they want is marketing.
Companies stand to benefit the most from marketing at the very moment their ideal prospects decide they want or need the products, services, or opportunities they offer. To become memorable, marketing is often necessary. Otherwise, when companies don’t market themselves, they risk losing their best prospects, and any others for that matter, to their competitors who have found ways to make themselves more memorable.
For example, the reason extremely successful companies like Budweiser, Pantene, and L’Oréal continue to spend so much money on marketing is because they understand the importance of it. They know that if they don’t promote themselves, even their most loyal customers can give into the temptation to try products made by their competitors who do promote what they have to offer. However, by continuing to engage consumers through marketing strategies, they keep their brand on the minds of their current customers and increase their chances of gaining new ones.

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.
