Website – if you want to reduce your site bounce rate, you can use videos to engage your audience. You can use an explainer video to help your audience better understand your service or a welcome video that visitors can use to learn more about your brand.
Social Media – this is one of the most common ways for you to use a video. Most brands with social media accounts share videos online. As compared to other type of content videos are engaging and the social media platforms make it easy to watch and share them. You can use the video for paid ads or promotions on social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram or Facebook. This will help broaden your reach and even maximize your marketing efforts.
Blog – another popular way to share your video content is through blog. Why limit yourself to just sharing it on social media if you can also embed it in on blogs? Videos can strengthen your blogs. For example, you can use an explainer video for your “how to” blogs to better inform your readers about your brand.
Newsletters – just like social media, newsletters let you get the video in front of the right audience. You can do this without even waiting for them to look for the on their own. Adding a video that supports the theme of your newsletter can even reinforce the topic. People are more likely to watch a video to better understand something that they have read about.
