Maybe you recently decided to film a digital video for your company as part of your marketing strategy. You have the equipment and technical expertise that you need—but how will you measure whether your video is effective?
Before you even pick up the camera, you have to know what the goal of your video is. What is your video trying to do? Are you trying to showcase your company’s unique personality? Are you trying to push sales of a certain product? Your video must serve a central business goal, aligned with your overall digital marketing strategy. For your video to be effective, it must be created with intention.
There are certain elements that every digital video must include to be effective:
- A strong script. Use clear language that will connect and resonate with your viewers. Avoid any confusing or abrupt transitions. Make sure your call to action language is compelling and integrated into your script.
- High-quality production. The technical aspects of your video must also be strong. Users will be turned off by glaring signs of poor production such as shaky or unsteady camerawork or low-quality audio. Before you share a video, analyze whether it is of a high quality that is a strong representation of your brand.
- Consistent, unique branding. Your branding should be consistent across all mediums and platforms to increase your brand recognition. Does the branding of your video match your website presence? Is it consistent with your social media channels? For an example, take a look at the video on the home page of the Jemm Construction website. The video is an extension of the branding on their website.
- A compelling call to action. The goal of your video is very important here. If you wanted your video to motivate your users to act, make sure you include any information they need to do so, such as a contact phone number, e-mail address, or web address. Your video must end with a strong call to action.
In summary, here just a few of the ways you can use digital video to extend the reach of your business:
- Personalize your team, leaving a lasting impression on your users.
- Provide information your users are seeking online, serving as a resource.
- Enhance your call to action, compelling users to take an immediate action.
- Communicate key points about your business, increasing brand recognition.
