Where are people searching for local services? Online, that’s where! According to Google, users don’t just go online for information, but up to 53% make purchases as a result of their searches. So, how can your small business capitalize on the vast opportunities presented by the local market? Get your website and products visible online by focusing on online marketing. This is where VIDEO MARKETING comes into play.
Video marketing is the fastest growing form of online advertising, and with good reason. Even a simple video on your website gives you the opportunity to interact with your customers by allowing them to get to know you and your business, and feel comfortable with you and your services. Text-based content is a very one-dimensional medium. Video on the other hand is a triple threat. People hear you, they see you, and they hear/see the un-spokens. Viewers can take in the professionalism, confidence and sincerity portrayed through body language and atmosphere. This is crucial, as viewers subconsciously take in these subtleties and form connections to you and your brand. Here are some facts to chew on…
