The moving image is the medium of our time! In the digital marketing landscape, video content has become an indispensable tool. Videos offer a vibrant, engaging and effective way to communicate complex messages while conveying emotions. Let's take a closer look at the use of high-quality video content in B2B marketing and find out why it has become an essential part of any marketing strategy.
Videos capture our attention, increase brand awareness, strengthen customer relationships and expand reach. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much more can a video express? In a world where we are inundated with information on a daily basis, video content offers an effective way to stand out from the crowd. Studies show that we process visual content faster and remember it better than text.
Everyone loves a good story. Our penchant for stories is as old as humanity itself. Video is the perfect medium for bringing those stories to life. A well-told story in a video creates an emotional connection between your business and your customers. It draws us into the plot, making us participants and not just observers. When the video is over, the feeling lingers – and with it, the memory of your brand. Therein also lies the power of a well-crafted event teaser: It builds excitement for an upcoming event and can spark interest, build anticipation and help make your event a complete success.
"Videos are a powerful tool in marketing – they are more vivid than text and can increase brand awareness in unique ways. Their ability to evoke strong emotions and convey diverse content creates an unparalleled emotional connection that goes far beyond what pure text can offer,"
Sabine Braun, Senior Account Executive at SPS Marketing, knows all about this.
In a recent study, the video production agency Wyzowl, based in the UK and USA, has come to exciting conclusions. According to the study, videos have contributed to higher sales conversions for around 87% of all surveyed marketeers. Video content improves the understanding of products and services for 96% and optimizes lead generation for 90% of respondents. A full 95% summed up that video marketing has helped them increase their brand awareness. In other words, video content is not only entertaining, but also highly effective.
