This huge boom in viewing figures can be attributed to a number of factors such as huge advances in video compression and streaming technology, but, whatever the reason, the fact is that watching video online has entered the mainstream.
A good Branding Video can make a real difference, a distinctive difference between your company and your competitors. You can use the videos to do things that other people in your market are failing to do well.
There are a number of reasons for adding Branding Videos to your site and, unlike viral and conversion videos your Branding Video can help you achieve multiple goals without detracting from the video's success. This video can also take the strain away from your customer support team. Linking your videos to a FAQ or any other part of your online support can help answer some of the questions that would otherwise make their way to a customer representative.
Branding videos can usually be found in three locations:
- Embedded offsite
- On a site's homepage
- Within a page on a site
Video needs to serve the site it sits in. It is not enough to deliver a fancy-looking movie on a site's home page. Instead, video must be part of a holistic strategy for the particular page it appears on. Like the video on this page it can be found on YouTube (offsite), this page of the New Path Media site and on the New Path Media page on Merchant Circle (offsite).
This is all well and good but why Video?
- Grab people's attention instantly
- Tell your story in less time
- Bring your ideas to life
Once you have produced a Branding Video you are happy with, you owe it to yourself to exploit it in as many of these ways as you can. First of all you want to ensure that people can find your video. Make it as visible and as accessible as you can.
