Hopefully, everyone can agree that creating video content is effective and must use Marketing tactics!
Some Statistics
Consumers today are spending more time on their different devices and in the future, the time that we all spend on our devices is only going to increase. It is estimated that by 2021 people will spend on average 100 minutes a day watching online videos.
According to research done by Wyzowl more than;
- 92% of Marketers who use video say it's an important part of their Marketing Strategy
- 88% of Video Marketers reported that video gives them a positive ROI
- Of Marketers who said they currently don't use video, 59% stated that they plan to start
Problem
It's great to see that more and more Marketers are using Video content but because the barrier to entry is so low, with most people being able to create decent videos on their phone and publish them directly to Social Media platforms, means that the increased amount of content can make your content harder to find, Even if you are creating great content, the likelihood of your desired Buyer Persona's just stumbling across it is very low!
Which begs the question "If just creating Video's won't work then what else am I supposed to be doing?"
