The Power of Video Marketing for Small Business

How can you implement a video marketing strategy that actually works for your company?

While the internet is full of information about tips and tricks to make your content go “viral”, is that really what your business needs?

In this Midwest Mindset podcast episode, the Two Brothers Creative team will give you the keys to making engaging content and the best video marketing tools and techniques to reach business success and visibility.  

Keys To Video Marketing for Small Business

Video-Based Content

If you are not doing video marketing, then you are not doing marketing as well as you could. 

We are living in a ‘video-based’ society, where every media platform is, in fact, a video platform. 

Just think about it: today, people are more likely to purchase a product if they’ve watched a video about it.

If there’s no video, chances are, they’ll scroll past your product without giving it a second glance.

That’s why crafting a successful marketing strategy today necessitates the integration of video content. 

How to Craft a Good Video Marketing Strategy

Now, all this being said, video content is not just about making videos for the sake of it without a reason. 

The content you produce for your brand should resonate with your audience and provide them with value. 

How can you deliver true value through your video-based content?

Quality Comes First in Video Marketing

With the internet filled with content of all types, people create value and substance. As consumers, we are all tired of empty and unreliable content.

That’s why quality should always take precedence. While jumping onto trends can be important, creating a high-quality video content is a process that requires intent, effort, and attention to detail. 

Your content should reflect your brand, be aesthetically pleasing, but also resonate deeply with your audience and bring them value.

So take your time and make something that really looks good.  

Choose The Right Kind of Video Marketing

The video format that you use and the platform you choose to upload it to will be the vehicle for your content to reach the desired audience

Understanding your audience is the first step to choosing the right vehicle for your content. What kind of videos do they enjoy? Are they fans of short, snappy clips, or do they prefer longer, more detailed content? 

Which platforms do they frequent? Are they on Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok?

Also, it’s essential to understand their interests and preferences to make content that satisfies these needs. Are they looking for educational content, product reviews, behind-the-scenes peeks, or entertaining skits?

Video Marketing and SEO

While written content continues to play a crucial role in digital marketing, it’s increasingly becoming essential to couple it with a robust video strategy. 

Video SEO (search engine optimization) is all about optimizing your video content to be indexed and ranked on search engine results pages for relevant keyword searches. 

Make sure to implement your keywords into your content the same way you would for blogs and website copy. 

Create True Value

How can you create an engaging story that makes your audience stick around and actually watch or listen to it?

The Hook – Captivating Your Audience

The first few seconds of any interaction can make or break the audience’s interest. Start with a powerful statement, an intriguing question, or a compelling visual that grabs their attention instantly. 

Create an opening that piques their curiosity, urging them to pay attention for what you have to offer.

The Story – Engaging Their Interest

Once you’ve hooked your audience, it’s time to reel them in with an engaging story. 

This could be a story about your brand’s journey, a customer success story, or an anecdote that illustrates the value of your product or service. 

Remember, a good story is not just about telling; it’s about showing. Use vivid descriptions, emotional appeals, and relatable characters to evoke emotion. 

The Call to Action – Fostering Engagement

After capturing their attention and engaging their interest with a compelling story, it’s time to direct your audience toward the desired action. 

This is where the ‘Call to Action’ (CTA) comes in. Be clear and direct about what you want them to do next – whether it’s signing up for a newsletter, buying a product, or sharing your content.

Working With Professionals

Working with professionals who know what they are doing and know how to be good storytellers is key to your video marketing success. 

If you don’t have the time, the expertise, or time to craft compelling content, then let an expert help you out. 

Engaging the services of a professional agency can prove to be a smart investment in the long run. 

While it may seem tempting to handle everything yourself, areas outside your expertise could bring less-than-desirable results. 

An experienced agency, on the other hand, can provide high-quality work more efficiently and cost-effectively.
