Why video is the next best tool for marketing
Video has become the default mode for almost all communication. It’s certainly the increasing default mode for any business communication, and that’s just a function of where people like to spend their time and how they like to engage with content. (Nathan Labenz)
Depending on the age group and location, most people in the United States spend anywhere from six to nine hours a day watching video content, across different devices.
Video is the current form of information processing, from content creators to the audiences that watch them, so this is the best way to connect with people.
You have to meet the audience where they are, you have to make things easy for them to absorb. (Nathan Labenz)
Visual content versus reading
Even though the video format is currently the most prevalent, people do still read, but under certain circumstances.
People are willing to read when they are curious, and when something has their attention, but the best way to get their attention is by video format.
I think people are willing to read when they’re motivated, when something has their attention, when they’re curious, and when they want to find out more, but they’re not necessarily going to read before that. (Nathan Labenz)
Therefore, video marketing is like the hook, a soft introduction, that gets people’s attention to then further read more about you, your practice, or your services.
How to use testimonials as content
- Written content: take out a few powerful phrases from testimonials from some of your past clients and post them to your website and social media.
Include a link to your full website if you post this to Google My Business.
- Video content: create a “want to learn more?” video and post some snippets of written testimonies and post that collection as a video on your Google My Business and social media platforms.
