Video marketing was the wave of the future. Now it’s here, and it’s paying great rewards for companies in more ways than one.
Quote from Mark Twain about overcoming fear of change
If your company has already added video marketing, excellent! If it hasn’t and fear of spending money on it is the reason, maybe this quote will help you make the change so you can start enjoying its rewards.
“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” — Mark Twain
Basically, what it means is that everyone faces difficulties in life and sometimes fear of change prevents great things from happening. However, the worry-filled anticipation of possible problems often magnifies the fear of negative results. My hope is that the meaning of this quote will trigger an upbeat perspective in your mind, and if that happens, you might be on the verge of discovering something great.
Why spending money on video marketing is worth it
Videos usually impress prospects. They also tend to draw a response from people who normally wouldn’t respond to other forms of communication (if they pay attention to it), and they help companies set themselves apart from competitors.
To be concise, here are several of the most powerful reasons why video marketing is highly effective:
- Videos grab attention and hold it longer by combining images with sound and motion.
- Videos engage more senses, which creates more interest and makes messages more memorable.
- Videos arouse emotions, which can be extremely influential when people are making decisions.
- Videos present messages consistently without being affected by the mood, appearance, abilities, or thought processes of a presenter.
- Videos can be hosted online, emailed, or handed directly to prospects in video marketing products.
- Videos are easy for decision-makers to share with other people who influence them.
- Watching videos tends to increase the connection viewers feel with companies who present their messages in them.
- Videos have the ability to present more information in less time, which is one of the reasons they feel more appealing.
While there are additional reasons videos are highly effective in marketing, these seem to be the most powerful. They should make it easy to understand why spending money on video marketing is worth it, and in case you aren’t already aware, ROI with video marketing has proven to be outstanding.
Video marketing produces excellent results
For several years now, we’ve seen video marketing products like Video Brochures and Point of Purchase Displays (POP Displays) with videos in them produce excellent results. We’ve also seen video mailers and video gift and sample boxes become ideal solutions for many companies who just needed the right strategy to engage their prospects with their messages.
Essentially, the number one reason video marketing products are so successful is that messages presented in them engage prospects in ways proven to be more effective than most other forms of communication. On top of that, the fact that people love videos is another vast reason for their success.
In our opinion, video marketing will continue to be an excellent strategy companies can use for many years to come. The way prospects respond to videos makes it seem as if that’s true, and how affordable and efficient making and distributing them has become likely increases that probability as well.

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.
