Most Popular Ways To Use Video Marketing

Videos are dynamic enough to promote products, services, opportunities and explain concepts better than most other forms of communication. Here is a list of ways people use them with great success:

• To tell stories: People love stories and some of the best stories ever have been shared in videos.
• To communicate hard-to-explain concepts: Animated videos are ideal for explaining concepts that may be hard to explain because they can bend the laws of nature and bring concepts to life in ways that words, images, or video footage of real people or objects simply cannot.
• To personalize messages: Interviews, testimonials, demonstrations, promotions and messages are enhanced significantly when on-location footage is shared in videos.
• To present demonstrations: Most people would rather learn by watching a presentation or demonstration in actual circumstances than read or follow motionless images.
• To increase trust and likability: Companies who share videos tend to be more trustworthy and likable.
• To share public opinion: Videos sharing testimonials or promoting conferences, shows, events, political opinions, and various other messages strongly influence people’s opinions.
• To share explainer videos: Thorough explanations of products, services and opportunities can be more effective in videos.
• To share video blogs: Consumers enjoy watching videos of people talking about concepts, products, services and opportunities.
• To show highlights: People enjoy watching highlights of trade shows, private events, sporting events, celebrations, artistic performances, ceremonies and conferences about topics they’re interested in. Business opportunities increase when videos are used to attract viewers to websites, landing pages, and social media platforms.

While there are many other ways people use videos, these purposes have repeatedly produced great results for companies over the past several years.
