Lots of people know that actions speak louder than words, but in sales - VIDEO speaks louder than words! Videos are an extremely persuasive asset in boosting your overall sales and expanding your bottom line. So, how can you begin utilizing video content help your business make more sales? Below I'll explain why video works, and how to begin using it to your advantage.

Video captivates your audience. 

By using videos you can connect and inform, persuade or entertain your consumers better than any press release or product tech specs section ever could. Video gives people the chance to connect with your organization or business in an indirect, soft sales approach way and gives you the opportunity to shout about what you or your product does without coming across brash or pushy. As a result, this helps build consumer loyalty and trust. Roughly 57% of consumers state that product videos make them trust a purchase more and mean they are far less likely to have it refunded.

With the introduction of the internet video content has taken a large step forward as customers like to research the things they want to buy and compare features, pricing, quality etc. and video is the best way to present this information. Hence, online visitors who viewed a product video are 85% more inclined to make a purchase then the visitors to the same site that didn’t. This means that effectively, product videos are the perfect conversion tool.

Video boosts your site traffic. 

In today’s digital age, with its never-ending stream of social media platforms and infinite websites it can be increasingly hard to make your company website stand out alongside your biggest competitors. On average 100 million people view videos on their computers and mobile devices per day, with this figure-increasing month on month. It is easy to see then that video is absolutely vital in growing sales for any business, whether you offer a service, or a range of products and can be used as an effective medium to persuade, inform and entertain pot customers.

A video can be uploaded to YouTube, the second largest search engine to Google, and embedded throughout the Internet via social media platforms, blogs and relevant websites. This creates a web of information and links on your company's products that all lead back to your website, where hopefully you can convert this traffic into sales. Video content also expands on the amount of platforms you can enter, making your website even more accessible. Around 65% of those who viewed a video click through to the vendor’s site with 50% of those that going on to make a purchase for that business, showing how video is a vital tool to help generate online sales.

Video saves time and money. 

According to Dr James McQuivey of Forrester Research, 1.8 million words equate to the same as one minute of video, so why waste your time writing written content for your website when visuals are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain? Incorporating purely written content can result in you losing web traffic due to your posts not being engaging enough, meaning you missing out on sales! On average visitors to websites spend 6 times longer on a webpage that hosts video content than one which does not. Hence, by incorporating video you can attract attention to your business, product or service fast and convert a higher percentage into customers.

As the goal of any business is likely to be to generate and retain customers it is really a no brainer that online video is your best foot forward to keep you in and above the competition. Video content is more engaging, interesting and informative that written content and creates a large number of opportunities that would otherwise go amiss, making it the best choice to raise awareness of your product or service and represent your brand.
