Failing to Exhaust your Brand’s Full Engagement Potential
It still happens, that some of our connections tell us they do not see the need to implement video in their marketing activities and therefore don’t allocate a standard budget for video production. Although video has proven to push engagement statistics towards the sky, some brands still rely on undynamic content such as imagery and written words. And these types of content simply cannot convey emotion, tell a story and captivate viewers’ attention in the same way. As an evident consequence, those businesses would have to expect lost opportunities due to lower engagement numbers.
Missed Opportunities for Search Engine Optimization
Due to the growing importance on video content on the web, search engines increasingly work with video. Therefore, for an effective SEO, your landing page profits by having an integrated introduction video. Moreover, a video gallery with testimonials, project-based and seasonal content will help to increase viewers’ visit durations. This will signal the search engine a high level of quality content and search relevance. By boycotting video, your business thus risks losing out on improved website traffic.
Losing Moments to Establish Trust Relationships
Seeing products live on video, hearing experiences from other customers, and getting exclusive behind-the-scene content on your business, will help new prospects and target groups to start getting to know your brand from a foundation of trust. These are organic ways to connect with audiences on a deeper level, that text and images cannot compete with.
