First things first, don't try to market to everyone, you'll end up marketing to no one. With video marketing as a move, make sure that your campaigning goals have a direction and are focused on driving awareness, traffic, and sales.
Keep your ideal client in mind and list up your targeted audiences' needs and preferences. Do some research:
Yes, you have to be more close to them, rather, be a part of their world as this is how you connect in real and in a meaningful way.
Do you read any blog unless it diverts your attention from work or it has a solution dealing with a commonly faced problem? If anything that is displayed to allure the masses' interest, it must stimulate.
A video's title must be eye-catchy to grab the viewer's attention, and furthermore, you can use some highly searched and relevant keywords in the title to enhance the volume of its click-through-rates.
We are unlikely to open an email until it has an inspiring subject line, we hardly read any blog until it tries to capture our interest, and the same is the case with your visual assets created for brand promotion.
We all know the 10s mantra, if we aren't able to stick our audience for more than 10s we will probably fall with our number of viewers and our video will be clicked off to something next in line.
Thus, make your video inspiring, entertaining, engaging, and informative to get them hooked till the end. Add some social proof(s) in the beginning as they act as a key to influencing people.
Your goal is your brand's advertising and making it gain a widespread reach; nevertheless, the mission is not the same. The mission is to engage a great number of people by channeling the primary message of the video.
The highly designed visual element must focus less on the product and more on the mission.
Here we can relate to ourselves; we often remember reports, statistics, and figures; however, we remember the main story that was shown. Likewise, give your viewers an inspiring or humorous anecdote that connects instantly.
Telling a story in a video can help to communicate in the best way possible as they relate to the world and help understand things better and easy. In your story, add some elements like personalization, display of expertise, process flow, etc. to make it a worthy one.
Mobile and e-devices are at an arm's distance of all the individuals. Everything is online, and the first thing which is at disposal to get to know anything on the web is our mobile phone.
Thus, it's imperative to create mobile-friendly videos that are quick to download to be enjoyed on any mobile device.
Every business would want to see its video to be on the 'Top Trending Videos' list, by being ranked high or #1 by the search engines. And for this motive, it's essential to get it well optimized to gain global visibility.

People have loads of time to view funny, refreshing, and entertaining videos, but do you think they have time to watch your too long and lengthy brand promotional videos?
So get your efforts focused on how to make short and to the point videos, explaining and describing the maximum in the minimum of time.
This is one of the most appealing and powerful ways to add up customer reviews in the videos by making them talk about it, how they used, benefits they gained, or any other aspect which added value.
The real and actual interaction with the users of the product/service can make a big difference in influencing people and attracting them towards your brand.
Trust me; it works, it works really well!
Don't fire the bullet in anxiety to get instant sales and high revenues. Build some hype before launching your product, add some more value to it by promoting it on your website, blogs, and social networks.
These days, creating 'Video Highlights' is in the trend which gives a few glimpses of your product/service/features/brand, thereby, enhancing curiosity among the viewers which ultimately, urges them to see the video at its launch date.
These are some of the methods that can help you start with your video marketing and analyze what to include in promoting the best of your business in the form of visuals. Does this journey end here?

This will give you the count of how many times your video got shared. The more the number, the more is the video liked, which will prove that people showed interest in it or gleaned value from it.
This will tell you the number of how many times your video was seen by the viewers. Each platform has a different measuring way of viewing counts.
