At Sticky Story, we get this question all the time, "How Can I Use Video To Grow My Business? Using a video to market your business can be a highly effective way to showcase your products or services, build brand awareness, and engage with your target audience. Here are some tips for using a video to market your business:
1. Identify your target audience. This might sound obvious to some, but you'd be surprised that some people jump into the video without thinking about who's watching and what they want to hear. Before creating a video, it's important to identify who you want to reach with your message. Who is your ideal customer? What are their needs and pain points? This will help you tailor your video to the right audience.
2. Choose your message: Once you know who your audience is, you can choose a message that will resonate with them. What is the unique value proposition of your business? What problem do you solve for your customers? Your message should be clear, concise, and focused on the benefits your business provides.
3. This is so imporant, "Tell a story". People connect with stories, so use your video to tell a story that showcases your business in an engaging and relatable way. This could be a story about how your business was founded, a customer success story, or a behind-the-scenes look at how your products are made.
4. Keep it short and sweet: Attention spans are short, so get to the point fast. Did you know that a gold fish has an attention span of 8 seconds and a human's attention span is only 6 seconds. Maybe that's an old wives’ tale. I’m not sure, but aim for a length of 60 to 90 seconds, and make sure your message is communicated within the first few seconds of the video.
5. Promote your video. Often, a company wants to make a video and then has no idea what to do with it. It's best to come up with a marketing strategy for your video beforehand. Once your video is complete, it's important to promote it to your target audience. Share it on social media, embed it on your website, and include it in email marketing campaigns. You can also use paid advertising to reach a wider audience.
In conclusion, using videos to market your business can be a powerful tool to showcase your products or services, build brand awareness, and engage with your target audience. To create an effective video, you must identify your target audience, choose a clear and concise message that focuses on the benefits of your business, tell a compelling story that resonates with your audience, keep it short and sweet, and promote it to your target audience.
Remember, the goal of your video should be to connect with your audience, build trust, and ultimately, drive conversions. Until we meet again, have a great week and don't forget to subscribe to keep up with all the Sticky Story Secrets.
