Hey ALEXA? Remind me to post the new video technology blog on Tuesday at 9am.
OK Google: Please turn on my Youtube channel.
Siri, what’s the best video production company that rhymes with Lip Nedia Soup?
From Digital Assistants to the latest and greatest APPS; Robot Vacs to self-driving cars, Virtual Reality goggles to all things SpaceX and beyond, it is quite clear that technology is taking the day – and the next day – and the next. Tech has saturated today and permeated tomorrow.
Why?
Its makes our lives easier! It enhances while it simplifies. It teaches and directs.
Today
Think about all of the advances in technology that brought you to this very moment. Chances are you are reading this blog on some kind of screen. Radio and newspapers paved the way, the telegraph paved their way and so on. Basically, human beings love communication and screens are great for that.
ESPECIALLY NOW.
We crave story, information, truth. Video technology enhances our communication. It has become a platform from which we can launch our ideas and effectively communicate our message to the masses.
For those in the technology industries, the key is to keep your “tech story” simple in order for your user to understand and buy in to your marketing strategies. Reiterate how this specific technology will improve their life, simplify or bring ease. Clear story in your marketing strategy is everything.
Enter Video
Video has single handedly changed the way we communicate, shop, eat, purchase, research, learn, inform, and educate ourselves. Hollywood stars of yesterday now have smaller fan bases than Instagram stars, Youtube Video Bloggers and key influencers.
The statistics for video marketing are staggering. The shift from word heavy content to image dense illustrations is here to stay and increasing daily. Still need convincing?
Take a look at these stats:
CONTENT WITH VIDEO TOPS THE SEARCH RESULTS
89% of consumers research information on products, businesses, or services, prior to making a purchase. Results that showcase video are picked up above text or graphic content!
IMAGES ADD VALUE TO WORDS
Studies show that if you only stimulate the auditory sense, only 10% of that information is retained. But by stimulating both the visual and the auditory senses with video marketing technology, the rate of retention increases to 68%.
BUSINESS EXECS PREFER VIDEO
The majority of decision makers use available video and video marketing content to enhance their research on a new hire or vendor.
VIDEO MARKETING CONTENT LEADS MOBILE SHARES
Online video now accounts for 50% of all mobile traffic, 40% access video via tablet, and 60% with their smart phones.
Take a look at this infographic we designed based on B2B video and sales increases video creates. Here’s another simply stated infographic on Why Video is Vital.
