Let’s Talk Facts (Why Video Marketing for Product Brands?)
Unlock the potential of video content to elevate your brand above the competition. In Vancouver's bustling market, captivating consumers is key. With video marketing, even small product brands can soar to success. Showcase your products in action, build trust, and engage your audience effectively. But before diving in, what foundational elements are essential for your video marketing strategy?
The Ground Work
Let’s talk shop. Before you hit record and start strutting your stuff, there’s some groundwork to cover. An investment like high-quality video content to support your brand’s marketing should never go to waste. So laying the groundwork to set yourself up for success is all in the details.
Starting off strong with a thorough understanding of your audience is the best place to start with any new strategy you put into place. Conduct your market research and pay close attention to any gaps in the market that your product fills – this will be your secret weapon in creating strategic video content. Set the stage for success by knowing what your end game is. Set some goals for your video and know what metrics you’re looking to track, whether it’s related to sales or brand awareness. Get your creative juices flowing and craft a storyline or narrative to guide your brand’s video production. But remember to make it memorable and brand-relevant!
So you’re ready to pick up the cameras and yell, ‘ACTION,’ but if you’re really wanting to make sure your audience engages with your video until the last second, then check out our checklist below.
Check List
Here’s where the movie magic happens. In video production, time is money. So if you’re looking to create a high-quality video that is guaranteed to keep your audience engaged, with minimal reshoots, keep these elements in mind:
Hook: Engaging your viewers is a race against time. The first three seconds are the most crucial in capturing consumer attention and getting them to stick around for the whole video. Hook them with a catchy title, a stunning thumbnail, or an intriguing first scene, and then reel in the views.
Compelling Storytelling: Craft a narrative that resonates with your audience. It could be how your product came to be, how your product fits into your customers lives; make it a story worth telling around a campfire!
Visual Appeal: A product video has got to turn heads! Think of it this way — it’s the first impression your product is making to someone who has never heard of it, so you’ve got to do it up right. Use vibrant colours, a variety of camera angles, eye catching graphics or text.
Product Demonstrations: One of the best parts about video is its ability to communicate more clearly than still photos ever could. Give your consumers a preview of what they can expect and all the benefits they have to look forward to.
Human Connection: Time to get personal! Let your audience see the faces behind your brand. Introduce your team, share some laughs, showcase the stories and testimonials from your consumers.
Call-to-Action: Don’t leave your viewers hanging, bring them full circle with a call to action that gives them a gentle nudge in the right direction. Seriously, a not-so-subtle ‘Add to Cart’ button at the end of a swoon-worthy product video is irresistible.
Engaging Music and Sound: Get consumers dancing to the beat of your product video with a catchy song or soundtrack — something that will stick in their head’s long after the video is over.
Authenticity: Sometimes not selling is as effective as the most strategic sales pitch. Don’t forget that your consumers are choosing to invest in your product, so be honest, genuine, and show them why their loyalty is being put in the right place.
A Good Pace: There’s nothing better than a rollercoaster ride! Keep your viewers on the edge of their seats with a story that’s got twists, turns, and appeals to your core brand values. Keep things snappy with timely editing and you’ll have the audience ready to hit replay.
