Elevate Your Resolutions with Video Marketing: A Path to Brand Success

Jan 22, 2024

Introduction:


New Year, New Me…Right? You better believe it! This year, we are transforming resolutions into tangible results. And not the ‘short lived’ results (i.e. going to the gym for only January and HALF of February) but actual CONSISTENT results, that drive customers in the door and keep them coming back again and again and again (from January through December)

So, one powerful tool that can help you achieve your business goals is (wait for it)...video marketing (big surprise there Film Haven). 


So, let’s explore how integrating video into your strategy can unlock the true potential of your resolutions, by enhancing brand visibility, amplifying audience engagement, and driving conversions that propel your business forward.


Why Video?


**1. Enhanced Brand Visibility:


Video content stands out in a crowded digital landscape, where your competition is simply sticking to a (sporadic) social media posting schedule, you have the ability to snag your viewers attention and keep it. Think of all the times you've been mindlessly scrolling (we’re all guilty) and get caught in a video rabbit hole. Now, use that rabbit to your advantage and dig a hole that will leverage visual appeal of videos and capture your audience's attention.Video can be used to increase your brand's visibility across essentially every major platform. 


Example: Create a video checklist that helps your customers AFTER they leave your store (a Ski Shop listing off their favorite mountains and the best times to go)  


**2. Amplified Audience Engagement:


Videos are inherently engaging, and you NEED to tap into that like YESTERDAY - if you're not grabbing your customer’s attention, then you're missing out on a massive amount of sales growth. From storytelling to product demonstrations, use video to create content that resonates with your audience, keeping them hooked and encouraging longer interaction. As we all know: Longer Interaction = Higher Closing Rate.


Example: Develop a series of engaging how-to videos or behind-the-scenes content that invites your audience to connect with your brand on a personal level (that ski shop demonstrates the latest and greatest skis in stock and how each model is made for a specific type of skiing) 


**3. Conversion Catalyst:


Video has the power to influence purchasing decisions. Incorporate product videos, testimonials, and compelling storytelling to guide your audience through the buyer's journey and convert leads into loyal customers.


Example: Feature customer testimonials in video format on your website or as part of your email marketing campaigns (That ski shop constructs a video marketing outline with product videos going out every month, solidifying the shop as an industry leader and trusted source of valuable information).


Strategies to Implement Video Marketing in Your Resolutions:


**1. Set Clear Objectives:


Define specific goals for your video marketing efforts. This is so important, and honestly, where most of our own clients falter. Whether it's to increase brand awareness, drive website traffic, or boost sales, having clear objectives will guide your video content strategy towards success.


**2. Know Your Audience:


Tailor your video content to resonate with your target audience. Understand their preferences, pain points, and interests to create videos that truly connect with them. We at Film Haven spend a massive amount of time in the research phase - aggregating, reviewing and dissecting data. Knowledge is power!


**3. Diversify Your Content:


Explore different types of video content, including product videos, explainer videos, live streams, and testimonials. Diversifying your content keeps your audience engaged and interested. This is where you always need to keep up with the latest trends, while also thinking outside the box. Never be afraid to try something new.


**4. Optimize for Search:


Enhance the discoverability of your videos by optimizing them for search engines. Use relevant keywords, write compelling video descriptions, and leverage video transcripts to improve search rankings. There’s a whole science behind optimization and that's where we spend a lot of our time. Tracking all the data and making sure our videos track on the best platforms.


Measuring Success:

Track Engagement Metrics: Monitor metrics such as views, likes, comments, and shares to gauge the effectiveness of your video content.


Conversion Rates: Analyze how video content contributes to your conversion rates, whether it's driving sign-ups, purchases, or other desired actions.This is where your planning came in handy!


Audience Feedback: Pay attention to audience feedback and comments to understand how your videos are resonating with your target audience.
