Online Video Advertising Can Help Your Small Business Grow

online videoWhen businesses first began using videos to market themselves on the internet, it wasn’t clear where this would go in the future. Now that much of internet time is spent watching videos, it is understandable why more and more businesses are beginning to target their customers through online video advertising.

 

Using video as a marketing tool can be as substantial or limited as you want it to be. A small online business might want to start out by just putting a video on the landing page of their website. This is beneficial since people coming to your site will be able to watch a short video and learn what your company is about in a way that makes them more likely to absorb the information. Eventually, you can expand this marketing out adding more videos to your website and perhaps sharing them on YouTube and other social media platforms.

 

Many small business owners find that video is a great way to connect to their customers and make contact with them on a regular basis. In addition to videos on their own website, they can share videos on their Facebook page or even on Snapchat and Twitter that can help them connect to customers. For example, a person with a website selling RC drones might post a video of them flying one of their drones and doing certain tricks with it. This entertaining video will likely be shared by potential customers on social media allowing the business owner to get this product seen by many more people.

 

When you are marketing your business this way, you’ll be able to connect to customers and especially younger customers far more easily than if you are trying to pursue these customers through other avenues. Since each social media platform is different, make sure that you tailor these videos to the platform you’re displaying them on. For any video you use to market your business, try to grab people’s attention in the first few seconds as this makes it more likely for people to watch the videos all the way through.
