6 Ways to Use Video Editing Software to Grow Your Brand Online

4. Boost Sales with Product Demonstration Videos

Demo videos are popular, and for good reason. They serve a variety of purposes, including:

Reducing skepticism.

Consumers were already skeptical before the pandemic, but the tidal wave of misinformation among informational sources put trust at an all-time low, according to the Edelman 2021 Trust Barometer.

Demo videos help to alleviate that lack of trust because you aren’t making an empty pitch and expecting customers to simply take your word — you’re showing them exactly what your product can do.

Explaining key features.

The beauty of demo videos is that they give you the ability to present your products in a matter-of-fact, conversational way instead of a pushy sales pitch.

Much like the psychology behind relying on content marketing instead of cold calls, this low-pressure approach is more appealing to consumers. It also gives you the opportunity to explain why your product is unique in the market and how it can solve your customers’ problems.

Saving time and money compared to live demos.

Even before the era of social distancing and limited capacity, your brand’s reach with an in-person sales rep was much more limited than its digital reach, especially in foreign markets. (Not to mention the expenses that add up when you factor in salary, travel, commission, accommodations, and other expenses that accumulate when sales reps travel.)

Now, all you have to do is send out a link, and anyone can see the product demonstration.

5. Embed Videos Directly into Your Website

Search engines love videos, which is good news for SEO ranking. Videos encourage your visitors to spend more time on your website while also offering better engagement than plain text or images.

Adding videos to your landing pages can improve conversions by 86%, making them powerful additions to the rest of your content.

There are tons of opportunities to utilize video on your website:

  • Product pages can show the products in use or modeled on a person.
  • The homepage can feature your latest collection launch.
  • Your “About Us” page could have a fun behind-the-scenes look at the company and the people who keep it running. That gives consumers a much better picture of who you are than a column of text could.

In the end, videos are all about engagement. It just makes sense to engage your audience directly on your website.

6. Incorporate Videos into Your Email Campaigns

Email and video were meant to be together. And don’t just take our word for it — adding videos to your email campaigns has been shown to increase clickthrough rates by as much as 300%.

Depending on your email marketing tools, there’s an extra opportunity to capitalize on video effectiveness by setting up viewing data to generate a workflow based on whether a customer watched the video, and if so, which video they saw.

For example, if a lead watches 80% of a demonstration video for your latest product update, that would be a prime opportunity to filter them into a particular sales funnel with similar follow-up content and an omnichannel approach with relevant ads.

How to Accomplish Your Video Goals with Movavi Editing Software

We’ve seen a lot of ways that video can work to your brand’s advantage by spreading awareness, increasing leads, and boosting web traffic, clickthrough rates, and SEO rankings.

But it’s important to remember that the quality of your videos is going to play a big role in defining your success.

Before you start creating your first video, consider the basics:

Video Context

Where is this video going to be featured?

Is it a targeted ad on social media, or an “About Us” video that’s going to be featured on your contact page?

Context matters. Be sure you’re setting the appropriate tone and delivering the right information.

Visitor Intent

What stage of the sales funnel is your target audience in?

Are the viewers being introduced to your brand for the first time, or are they already familiar with you and looking for more in-depth information about your products and services?

Motivation

What do the viewers want?

What problem are they trying to solve, and what is your solution?

For example, an instructional video showing how to use your product is going to have a different look and feel than a promotional video advertising a flash sale.

All of these considerations should be carefully thought out as part of your initial strategy.

Once you have your plan, you need to have the right tools to bring your vision to life.
