Video has been consumers’ favorite method of content delivery for some time now, but marketers are always finding unique ways to utilize it in their outreach to current and prospective customers.
From short-form videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels to various livestreaming platforms and influencers unboxing products, the biggest trends in video marketing that compel consumers to check out brands and purchase their products and services are constantly evolving.
Video is still one of the best ways to connect emotionally with a consumer. Data will increasingly drive content strategy and optimization, while the speed at which video content is produced will continue to get even faster. Creating tailored content for each specific platform will become increasingly important as well—such as TikTok versus Instagram, a TV commercial or even long-form content, for example. – James Schiefer, Schiefer Chopshop
Video Will Soon Become A Necessity For Marketers
If you look at the current trends in digital (social, paid, email), notice the amount of movement that you are seeing on each channel. Then notice how much more prevalent it is than before. Since platforms (such as Instagram) are favoring accounts that post video content, this will very soon become a necessity for marketers. My advice is to step out of your comfort zone; you will need video soon. – Christopher Tompkins, The Go! Agency
