2018-7-13 21:49

And because almost every household had a television set at that time, it was the most influential and powerful marketing platform.

Fast forward to 2018 – with technological advances and breakthroughs resulting in the accessibility of the Internet and the affordability of mobile devices, the marketing landscape has also seen major changes, especially the trend of social media personalities and content creators influencing the purchase decisions of consumers through the use of spontaneous word-of-mouth videos.  After six decades, video still remains the preferred and dominant promotional medium for brands to market their products.

Video marketing has presented marketers with a versatile and extremely shareable medium in reaching their targeted audiences.

Unlike verbal and pictorial advertisements, videos have the power to plant concepts and visual storylines in the minds of consumers that can lead them to associate certain ideas and imagery with the company.  Reports have found that 80% of consumers can recall a video ad they have seen in the last 30 days!

Diode Digital has found that online videos are 600% more effective a marketing tool than both print and direct mail combined!  All Internet video traffic will eventually account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic, with more than half of the video traffic completely consumed via mobile devices.

Websites like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and even Facebook Live, have inevitably become a staple of our everyday lives.

New Generation Marketing for a New Generation of Users

Video is undoubtedly the key medium for brands to boost brand awareness and understanding, and for consumers to acquire brand information.  Adding a product video on a brand’s landing page is reported to increase conversions by 80%.

Studies show that 75% of consumers who watched a video explaining about a product eventually ended up buying it!  87% of online marketers use video content, with 92% of consumers sharing videos with others.  In a fast-paced society, only the interactivity and permeation of online videos can engage a new generation of users.

Explainer Videos: No limitations!

If marketers were to convert a one-minute video into a print advertisement with words, it’s going to be an extremely wordy one, as Dr. James McQuivey has estimated that one minute of video is equivalent to 1.8 million words!

With advancements in video and VFX technology, videos supplemented with animation are great for explaining difficult concepts, and especially useful when launching a new product or campaign.  Half of all businesses utilizing video marketing attest to having an explainer video on their homepage, with 83% saying that it was highly effective.
