7 reasons why video can give your website a great advantage
1. They tell your story
Show, don’t tell. Films are one of the best ways to tell a story. They incorporate;
- Vision
- Sound
- Graphics
- Animation
It does not matter if you are a serviced based (or product based) business, telling your story through video can answer the following questions your potential customers are wondering;
- How did your product come to be?
- How is it made?
- What is the process like working with your service based business?
2. Help your customers convey emotions
Films can breathe some life into the business. Video can help drive that sale online with emotions. What kind of emotion do you want to drive? What kind of feeling do you want them to feel?
Video can help your audience feel inspired, pumped, energized, and more!

3. Videos build trust
Mainly because they get to hear/see an inside of who they are doing business with. Gaining this level of trust is important when they are about to do business with you. Video can help gain trust, because the audience sees;
- Being vulnerable on camera
- The culture
- A transparent overview of how the business works
- Getting an idea of who they will be working with
4. They increase conversion rates
A video can help your customers perform an action on your website. This is why it is important to create a call to action at the end of your videos asking for what you want.
Whether it be signing up to the newsletter, making a purchase, or requesting a quotation.

5. Keep customers on the website longer
Videos can decrease the website's bounce rate. Customers can learn about you quicker with video, and gain more trust seeing the real you. This is why there is often a “welcome” or “company” video on the home page.
6. Video ads bring potential customers to your website
When creating ads on social media, it is important to have a hook (grab their attention with a thumbnail that stands out, video headline, and the first 3 seconds of the clip), a story, and a call to action.
After the video is created, you can then target your ideal customer and generate more traffic to the website. Once they are there, they can be greeted with a welcome vid.

Increase the amount of times people will see your brand with a video. Videos are great for generating continued brand awareness on platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
YouTube is great when it comes to long term brand awareness. Old videos can still generate hundreds of new views a week creating more brand awareness for your site.
Remember, it is important to know why you are making the video.

Do not go hiring a videographer before reading this
Hire a videographer to not just help with brand awareness, but make sure that they can solve your problems, and assist you in achieving your goals.
Do not hire a videographer without a goal or a problem. If you do, you may be making an unwise investment. Just like a house needs a plan, so does your video campaign.

Advice when looking for a video production Company
Finding a video production company may seem straightforward, however due to the nature of the product, it all comes down to the experience and the creative expertise. It’s an industry that really requires multiple quotes and proposals before moving forward. One video team will approach the video with a very different solution than the other.
Do your research and speak with multiple companies and see what they can offer. See how they would approach your problem and hire according to that solution. Cheaper doesn’t always save you money in the long run.
If you were looking for a recommendation we have worked with Vid.co Media Group in the past and they have been great.
