Video marketing (marketing and training through video) isn’t a trend – it’s becoming a necessary marketing tool if you want to reach and engage audiences.
Research gives us powerful numbers to motivate us to step up our video game.
For example:
- 54% of the polled population want to see more videos from brands.
- 82% of all consumer internet traffic is video content.
- 78% of people watch online videos every week, and 55% view online videos every day.
- 72% of customers said they would rather learn about a product or service by way of video.
(Statistics from 135 Video Marketing Statistics You Can’t Ignore in 2022).
What makes video such a powerful marketing media?
It:
- Grabs the attention of diverse audiences across all web and social media platforms.
- Adds the personal touch that supports the adage “people buy from people”.
- Speaks directly to client pain points, which improves the efficiency and ROI of your resources.
- Allows training topics to be consumed by large or global audiences, expanding your client base.
