A Brand New Day in Simi Valley
Hello wonderful people of Simi Valley! As I sit in my home office, the morning sun casting a golden glow over the Santa Susana Mountains, a thought crosses my mind. As a creative director of a local video production agency, how many businesses in Simi Valley are missing out on this scenic beauty? Did you know the simplest landscapes or cityscapes of our hometown could wield unseen potential for your marketing campaigns?
I am talking about harnessing the power of custom video content.
Why Video?
Let me start by sharing a little story. My neighbor, Martha, runs an adorable little cupcake store in town. Last spring, amid the pandemic, Martha struggled to attract customers. She tried everything from social media posts to newspaper ads, but nothing seemed to work. A chance conversation over a backyard fence later, we suggested using video content, which not only brought her loyal customers back but also invited a fresh wave of pastry enthusiasts. Here’s how.
1. Video allows your narrative to shine
What makes Martha’s cupcakes so special? It’s the love and the local ingredients that she pours into her baking. And, it’s hard to get that message across through a print ad. But, with a custom video, she could share her story, her process, and her passion. Result? More emotionally-connected consumers!
2. It favors your SEO efforts
Did you know that videos increase the time visitors spend on your site, thus signaling search engines that your site has great content? Business websites with video content are 50x more likely to drive organic search results compared to text, thus giving you an SEO advantage!
3. Mobile users love videos
My second anecdote is about my millennial hairdresser, Luke. He’s always on his phone, and guess what kind of content he consumes the most? You guessed it, video! Like Luke, 92% of mobile-internet users share videos with others, expanding your reach exponentially.
Unleashing Your Video Content Potential: Seven Key Strategies
Reflecting on all these benefits, let’s explore seven strategies to maximize your video content potential. If you are a local business in Simi Valley, you can and must use these tips!
1. Know your audience
Like Martha, to create a video that connects with your potential customers, you must first know who they are, what they want, and how your business can solve their problems.
2. Focus on storytelling
People connect with emotions more than products. Lure them with a narrative, just like how Martha did with her secret recipe!
3. Keep it short and crisp
In the era of dwindling attention spans, you have only a few seconds to grab your viewer’s attention. So, make sure your videos are snackable but impactful!
4. Optimize for SEO
Include relevant keywords, meta descriptions, and tags to ensure that your video content reaches the right audience.
5. Use professional video production services
Engaging lighting, crisp audio, creative shots – professional touch can enhance the effectiveness of your video content. Plus, they help you avoid any technical bumps that could hamper your video’s impact.
6. Leverage the power of social media
Ensure you distribute your content through powerful channels like Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube to get maximum traction.
7. Measure your success
Regularly monitor and track the effectiveness of your video content. This can give you key insights into what’s working and what’s not.
Unlocking the Future – with Custom Video Content
As a stakeholder in Simi Valley’s growth, I believe in the power of local businesses and the difference they make in knitting the community together. And, it is my goal to ensure that these businesses don’t remain untapped in the era of digital marketing.
