B2B Video Content Explodes at near 100% Growth

Have you noticed how much work-related video you’ve been watching lately?

Last year, Vidyard published it’s Video in Business Benchmark Report which reveals the latest trends… and yes… B2B video content is doubling in quantity… and short form video is taking off at exponentially higher rates.

According to the author: “Video is clearly no longer just for “big brands” either. For the first time, smaller businesses – particularly those in high-tech markets – are now producing as much, if not more, video content than their larger counterparts.”

Some of the key findings highlighted in the study include:

The creation of video in business is exploding.
Businesses have published 377 total videos on average and are adding 33 new videos per month (up 83% over previous year); video libraries are expected to double in size within 12 months.

Video is faster.
75% of all videos published were under 2 minutes in length, compared to only 56% in the previous year.

Video usage on non-traditional channels on the rise.
There has been an increase in the use of video on distribution channels such as email marketing, landing pages and sales teams.

The use of video analytics is becoming more prevalent.
Those using intermediate or advanced analytics and viewer engagement data to measure performance were 2x as likely to report that returns on their video investments are improving.

Stop Serving the Wrong Customers - Why Video?
Stop Serving the Wrong Customers. Why Video? image.png

Do you ever notice that some of your customers just don't seem to be the right fit for your business? Personal bias aside, many of your customers may be outliers of your preferred target market..... and you probably already know this.

The "wrong" customers tend to be more problematic that your other customers - the ones that seem to be a perfect fit.

The wrong customers, if you'll allow me to use that term, just don't as aligned to your brand's strengths and therefor, for whatever reasons, they make it more difficult for you to serve them successfully.

Whether you buy-in to the proposition that a customer may be wrong or not, maybe you'll agree with me that you would be better off if more of your customers were like so-and-so. You know, your favorite customer! Wouldn't you like to attract more of this customer-type than the wrong customer type?

Video attracts the right type of prospects and customers. Why? Because it's authentic.

Video allows you to share your story in your way and allows your audience to connect with you and your message. Your desired prospects and customers will embrace your business and offerings but they'll connect with you and your brand. And, the customers that are wrong for your business will likely never connect with your video message anyway.

Voila! Problem solved. Imagine how great your like will be if you had customers that were the right fit for your business, not the plethora of outliers you may be herding today.

Video can help you attract the right clientele, because video is authentic.
