The benefits of video advertising
CAN A BUSINESS GAIN TRUST BY USING VIDEO ADVERTS?
Research proves that just under 30% of people aged below 24, do not trust businesses that do not have an online presence or a user-friendly website with specific features i.e., video adverts. This is due to the fact that a video is worth a thousand words. A video introduction into a business or product, explaining the process could help reduce suspense and also increase trust in the business by a prospective client.
THREE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE VIDEO ADVERTISING IN YOUR MARKETING STRATEGY.
1) Search Engine Optimization: SEO is indeed one of the benefits to adding video advertising to your business/personal marketing strategy. The idea is that if a prospective client spends more time on your business website than he did at your competitor’s website, to web crawlers- this must mean you have useful information and this process based on search engine algorithms might mean- that your website is of some importance.
2) Product Personality: Nowadays, people generally spend more time online, either on their computer, Tablet or their mobile phone. Having a personalised video done by a member of staff that clearly understands the product or someone with a nice face and personality, would help build a connection between a prospective client and your brand. Having a video advert on your website can make the process painless, for people that are receiving the same information, on a small smart phone screen. Especially if they are like me and only have a short attention span.
3) Better Understanding: It is imperative that as a business, you do everything possible to stay ahead of the pack. For example- A website with no video adverts could be seen as, less entertaining than a website with stunning video adverts… it’s a no brainer. After watching video advertising clips on your website, the prospective clients would now have a better understanding of the kind of business that you are and the products you sell.

INCREASE IN SALES:
Having a video advert on your website that explains the process completely, would help prospective clients to better understand the product you are trying to sell. A good video advert could help place the product so well that prospective clients may begin to think that actually do need this product.
A good video advert that flows nicely, will only present an opportunity for an increase in sales. Now is as good a time as any to start with video adverts.
