One great example of an effective method is video marketing, which has been shown to have great effect in reaching potential buyers. Video marketing offers a unique opportunity to present your business message to many prospective customers, and do it in a way that is both entertaining and informative. It also has the benefit of allowing many prospects a chance to be exposed to your business message, as they watch you talk in video, as well as check out your products and services being presented in the video. In fact, it's been shown that prospects are 92% more likely to a get a response from a video marketing presentation, as they are 93% more likely to contact a business if a video presentation is made about their products and services.
Video marketing also allows a business to show their prospective clients both the good aspects of their products and services, as well as the ways in which they can benefit from the business's products and services.
The key to video marketing is to be able to communicate your message to many prospects, in a way they will remember. It's been said that a lasting impression is made on one person, every 10 to 20 seconds. That means one video will last for 10 to 20 minutes for a one hour video presentation. So if you show your marketing video twice, you can get 40 or 50 messages through just one presentation. That's incredible!
Another key reason for the effectiveness of this marketing system is that it provides a fantastic opportunity to brand yourself. With the use of a logo, company colors and company logos, you can be shown throughout the whole video. This is a great way of showing off your company's personality, and making yourself known to prospects. You will also have the opportunity, as the video progresses, to show your products and services.
The use of video marketing is also a great way of building up a list for your marketing system. This is because video allows you to share information with prospects about your products and services which you want them to purchase. With the power of websites such Facebook and YouTube, it's also now possible to show your products and services videos in one of these sites for free, and build up a huge subscriber list. You can reach out to tens of thousands of prospects through video! Your video marketing system has just grown exponentially!
