Why Is Video Marketing For Business Important?
In case you’re new to this series, allow us to quickly round up why video marketing for business is important.
Content marketing (especially video marketing) has been creeping up for years, slowly taking over as one of the most important marketing strategies for businesses. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been an even larger spike in using video marketing to connect with audiences online, with 86% of small and medium businesses in the US alone using this type of marketing to reach out.
Now more than ever, with platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo and even Instagram centering around video content from businesses as well as audiences, video marketing is a super smart move for your business.
