It has to be fantabulous regarding its credibility for a longer period of time. Videos help you to have millions of followers in no time. As a majority of the population prefers to watch videos rather than read lengthy articles or see boring PowerPoint presentations about company ideology. Moreover every social media platform also wants or posts videos these days, with live stories being a real crowd puller. So when you put video content out there it is more likely to get bigger reach and make a bigger impact and really get your message heard by more people.

They know you are speaking the truth or not. This serves as a gauge to measure or examine the trust you can place in the company or brand. Earning this trust is a real achievement as gaining trust is not a day’s game. Your trustworthiness can easily serve as your driving force in the market.
3. Reprogress a lot of content – imagine killing two birds with a single arrow. Say you make a video for YouTube, be it of any duration, you can always trim it and use it on other social media platforms. For instance, a 30s video for YouTube could play up that role on Instagram and Facebook as well if you trim or divide it into sections of 5-10 seconds each.
4. Teaser videos for better marketing – release teasers or trailers for any upcoming promotion or sales campaigns. This builds up the intrigue and calls for excitement on the part of your viewers. It helps arouse curiosity and impatience, in a positive way, to make up the foundation of your audience base. It starts gathering viewers before the actual launch of a product and thus instills confidence in the company and helps it to take a look at its following, even before releasing the product in the market.

As we already know that Content is King in today’s scenario of publicity frenzy. Not only do we want good quality content but also long lasting, evergreen content. Data has always been the driving force for targeted marketing plans or efforts whether they are about how to be more progressive, how to be smart, more efficient or more productive ultimately. Data continues to drive our efforts in this direction. People today have difficulty in memorising things, especially something that serves them no purpose. So, it becomes highly necessary to make your content or data strong enough as to withstand the test of such times. We need content which can make people remember the content and visualize the effectiveness (as in compatibility) of that content in their life. We need something which people relate to as it helps them associate the content with their daily lives. Videos are an excellent way to achieve all of this. Hence it is critical in determining the growth of your business if you want to reap its benefits in a proper way.
