1. WHY VIDEO MARKETING – VIDEO BLOGS & SEO?

A video blog is a great example of video marketing and can help you improve your websites SEO rankings and at the same time help to personalise your company making a real connection with a prospective client. By regularly updating your video blog you can indicate to Google that your site is worth keeping near the top of it’s rankings; as the search algorithms use the frequency with which a site is updated to help qualify it’s SERPs. Make sure the videos you upload are shot in HD, have a carefully written script and are embedded in your site using Youtube. This allows Google to use the transcript of your video to help move you up to the first page results for your chosen keywords. This then all has to be balanced out so you get the best ROI possible. Strategy is the key here. Your video will have to elicit some emotional response from the viewer and at the same time contain your keywords and a good reason for your viewer to actually click on your video. Video Marketing that is irrelevant to your clients will not provide the ROI you are looking for.

2. EVERYBODY’S DOING IT:

By mapping out a number of videos in advance you can target a list of keywords that suit your SEO needs. Once you have done this you can plan the content of your videos by thinking about the questions your prospective clients might ask. The new Hummingbird update to the Google search algorithms is designed to take into account the greater number of searches being made by voice search. These queries are usually longer than typed search queries and as a result the Hummingbird update looks for context. If you have a well thought out SEO strategy for you video blog you can take advantage of this new type of search by answering the questions your prospects might ask. For example, if you run a hotel in Dublin you might have someone in the States speaking to the their phone and asking for ‘a hotel in Dublin with Irish dancing’. A video script starting along the lines of ‘X hotel in Dublin is one of the best places to see some traditional Irish dancing while you eat’ would allow Google to associate your site, with it’s embedded video, with live Irish dancing. There are hundreds of Google searches for ‘Irish Dancing’ in the States everyday.

3. WHAT TO DO?

It is important to make the most of the benefits available from video SEO on your video blog.

Key concepts/techniques to remember include:

Social sharing: if you video is fun, interesting and worth a watch it will get shared. Mobile video has exploded and people use their commute time to amuse themselves with funny videos. If your corporate video is funny (in the right way) it will get more views and shares on Facebook and other social media sites.

Link building: by using these shares you can get some great organic link building benefits.

Youtube comments: Did you know 90% of all internet traffic is video? People love online video. In preparing to write this article I noticed that a lot of Irish hotels that have videos of their business on Youtube have past guests from all over the world commenting about how great a time they had in the hotel. This is the best sort of endorsement a company could hope for, as it is unsolicited.

Geotagging: Did you know that if your corporate video has a graphic with your companies name and address at the end, and it is uploaded to Youtube, then Google’s search algorithms will read this text and use it to help Geotag your video? If the video is embedded on your homepage this will help Geotag your website. You can further help here by going to the advanced settings of the video manager on your Youtube account and adding in your business address. This will help Google to push people searching for your product, in your catchment area, towards your site.

By using these strategies you can easily ensure that Google and the other search engines give your site the credibility it deserves.

 

Hopefully this can help you get a better understanding on the benefits of using video marketing to upscale your business.

yt and fb The rapid rise of online video over the last decade means that businesses not taking advantage of it for marketing purposes are missing out on a lot of traffic. According to a Cisco Global IP Traffic forecast, “IP video traffic will be 79 percent of all consumer Internet traffic in 2018, up from 66 percent in 2013.”

YouTube is still seen as the main player for online video services although Facebook has quickly established itself as a major player in the brand marketing segment. As of November 2014, after last year’s boom of premium ad options for native videos, Facebook has surged ahead of YouTube video posts. Following the proliferation of social networks sharing has become as prominent as searching. YouTube introduced easy video upload yet a lot of content users do not know about will surface through social networking.

The rise of the ubiquitous viral video, attributed to YouTube, is also the result of sharing via Facebook and Twitter. Marketing strategy for online video content should consider the nature of the video and ultimately its potential lifespan. Video on YouTube is longer staying, with more in-depth content users will actively search for. Facebook’s focus is on short and superficial, relying on exposure through social buzz; once out of the news feed exposure dramatically decreases. Choosing your online video marketing strategy platform should reflect the video content generated by your brand for the right brand focus.

Facebook’s main advantage is in the nature of the platform: extensive and constantly rising social user base. Preferential treatment is given to its native videos when determining what users see in their feed, together with the recently introduced autoplay video content in news feeds within its App Install ads.

YouTube on the other hand is investing into community of creators of staying quality. Something to keep in mind about YouTube is that, unlike Facebook where content is tied to the platform, link sharing is possible wherever your online coverage is supported.

One study examining the inherent differences of Facebook video and YouTube links discovered that although there are 8 times as many YouTube links shared compared to Facebook, engagement rate for Facebook is 40% higher with twice as many comments than YouTube. Deciding which platform fits your needs doesn’t necessarily have to be about exclusivity as both can be used despite their seemingly divergent focus.

Michelle Phan, covered in our recent post, is a user whose content fits the YouTube model. She also advertises new videos on Facebook to direct her audience to YouTube using call to action at the end of a short Facebook video. With this approach she has gained positional advantage of both platforms to promote content and drive YouTube views with different content to fit Facebook posts for more efficiency.

BuzzFeed is an example of another approach with brand content that falls right between both platforms. BuzzFeed’s strategy is to maximize views and exposure by using both platforms to get content up and to as many people as possible. This approach also takes into account that each platform has different ways of content discovery. Also in BuzzFeed’s case preference among its users for one platform is not necessarily constant; a big hit on Facebook can be a flop on YouTube and vice versa.

In the fast changing online marketing environment it is important to implement the right strategy for your needs to get ahead of the competition.

Twitter is an emerging platform, but this does not mean that they are not actively looking for new ways of improvement. One example if their new direction, of offering brands and media companies an alternative to YouTube, according to the statement of Mr. Noto “In August, we will launch the beta version of our new promoted video offering which provides a way for high quality content producers and brands [to] easily upload, share and measure the distribution and effectiveness of their video content on Twitter”.

Twitter-Follow-Me-Video

You might be wondering why Twitter is doing this, as they already have a product which lets advertisers and media companies to promote video content to their users.  So what is this new direction actually mean? Mainly, Twitter will allow brands and content producers to upload and promote their content, which will attract to a greater visibility of their brand to the users of Twitter. This will lead to Twitter becoming either another outlet from brands, like Red Bull did while building a huge number of followers on YouTube, or another way of having audiences outside YouTube.

One thing is for sure, Twitter streams are increasingly becoming filled with multimedia and Twitter surely wants a place on the growing online video ad revenue pie. Plus, as Twitter strives to become more palatable to mainstream consumers, more video would seem to help–bringing lots more recognizable names and faces to the platform.

In this world of technology and sharing, keeping your followers updated has become an essential factor in any business. A very good example is Beyonce’s Facebook page, where she shared a 4 minutes video with behind the scenes to see the preparations for her live performance last month at the MTV Video Music Awards. The impact  of this video is very simple to count: in the first four hours, Facebook users watched the video 2.4 million times. On YouTube, the four-minute clip garnered just a few thousand views during that time.

What is the difference between these 2 methods of promotion? Many of the singer’s 64 million Facebook fans have spotted this video in their news feeds and shared it with their friends, while the people who saw it on Google’s YouTube did not have such an easy way to spread their enthusiasm and letting their friends now. According to the  head of digital at Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s management company, they are using Facebook a lot as an empowering and a connection tool: “For us, Facebook has become the primary platform that we use to communicate content to fans.”

FACEBOOK-Y-YOUTUBE-COMPETENCIA

YouTube is still the big gorilla of online video, especially as an archive for work with lasting appeal and as a place where creators can make money from ads sold around their material. But Facebook’s ability to use social connections to make content popular fast, along with changes the social network has made to its news feed to showcase video better, have helped fuel rapid growth in the amount of video viewed on the service over the last year.

In  June, Facebook had  about 1.3 billion monthly users worldwide and started serving  up to an average of a billion video views a day, two-thirds of them on mobile devices. About 100 million new videos are uploaded every month. While that is a small fraction of YouTube’s traffic, it is up significantly from just a few months ago.

Chris Cox, Facebook’s chief product officer, said that video was still in its infancy on Facebook. Ordinary users are just starting to learn how to shoot great video on their smartphones, and most professional video creators do not yet know how to use the social network to amplify their audiences. The company itself is just beginning to grapple with how to give its users a satisfying video experience on the site.

Facebook also needed to upgrade its infrastructure to host more video and deliver it quickly and smoothly — a goal the company is still working on, along with other improvement. “We don’t support embedding right now. We should,” Mr. Cox said in an interview, referring to the ability to incorporate a Facebook video into other sites. “We need to make sure people have good controls over how and what videos they are seeing.”

Video creators are still plumbing the mysteries of what type of video does best on Facebook, so be prepared for more news here. Perhaps nothing demonstrated Facebook’s strengths in video more than the “Ice Bucket Challenge,” this summer’s social media phenomenon in which millions of people, from celebrities to unknowns, poured buckets of ice water over their heads and challenged others to do the same to raise money for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other charitable endeavors.

Between June 1 and Sept. 1, Facebook said, more than 17 million videos related to the challenge were shared on its service. Those videos were viewed more than 10 billion times by more than 440 million people. Unlike YouTube, which places ads before and around many of the videos on its site, Facebook does not get any direct revenue from video traffic other than from a few videos similar to television commercials that are bought specifically as ads.

The business world is more and more prepared for businesses using video marketing strategies to grow. If you are interested in having a collaboration with a professional video marketing company, please do not hesitate to contact us!

 

The first question that any business owner will ask himself at a certain moment is: “Will YouTube advertising work for my business”?

youtube2

This question derives from the great unknowns of YouTube, as for a long time, it was thought to be a place where the luck of the viral video rules, it has now become a place where you can target, measure, and see guaranteed results.

There is no way of knowing exactly if something will work until you do it.  However, through a little bit of research, three indicators have been discovered that tell you how well a campaign will work for your company.

Any business that wants to grow needs to know their numbers. If you know what a customer is worth to you, that says you are ready to grow. Being prepared to grow is maybe the most important quality a business can have.  But without knowing your numbers, one cannot set goals; if you cannot set goals; your campaign has no direction or purpose, so everything is linked.

What is your desired outcome?  Anyone that says anything different than customer acquisition is fooling themselves, because obtaining your desired CPA (Cost per Acquisition) should be your number one goal. Your desired CPA gives a campaign purpose. Without it you are just blindly paying for traffic and views, and what is the point of getting views if they do not lead to customers?

YouTube Advertising is the perfect bridge between TV Commercials and PPC Advertising.  The ultimate goal is to get potential customers off of YouTube and onto your website. When they get there, you must have a landing page with a goal that makes the click successful. Whether that means someone buys your product, or gives you their contact information, the goal is up to you to decide.

If  you want to use video marketing to grow your business, join the digital age today and become as successful as  the story is this: know your numbers, and do not just jump into something you are not prepared for, as it will be a waste of your money. However, if after reading this, you are sitting in front of your computer saying, “I know my numbers”, or “my business meets all of those indicators”, and I u can by working with a professional video production team.  For great deals on video production, contact us now!

 

A research done by Tremor Video and Millward Brow, where they examined more than 300 video campaigns and tested the content with 150 consumers, was made to track the receptiveness and feelings that these two have toward each one. Brands and marketers should take the advice to heart and create more innovative campaigns because, right now, most of them are doing it all wrong.

Entice and intrigue

Finding balance here is the key. You should give enough information, not too much or too little, so that the viewers are encouraged to click through or act to find out more.

Remember to give consumers a reason to engage by starting the story, but not telling the whole thing. This applies both to getting people to pay attention to the ad (completion rate) and encouraging them to interact (engagement rate). Results showed that high-performing mobile creative outperforms TV benchmarks.

Bring them in

With an aligned design, technology and the right medium to create engaging advertising, you will be able to let your customers them stay in the video overlay and make their own decisions to continue to interact.

Symphony not noise

Every ad should sing and flow with a consistent theme and messaging throughout the layers of content. We know it’s tempting to use every tool in your belt, but too many messages, graphics and functions create confusion and dilute the effectiveness of the experience. With the many options available today, it’s easy to go overboard. Remember: simple sells.

Make them  feel

Consumers have an emotional connection to their mobile devices, so taking advantage of that and creating experiences that trigger an emotional response is the best strategy. The ads in the study generated more interest and excitement than we tend to see with TV or online video norms. Emotion is the heart of why advertising works, so remember this next time you are thinking about your videos.

When you pair emotional triggers in content with a distribution method that viewers are emotionally connected to, more often than not you’ll have a winner.

Catch the moment

Mobile devices serve as a first screen so often, so it’s important to use this moment to get people in the relevant moment. Find a way to keep consistent creative messaging across different platforms while leveraging the unique role of each device.

With availability of big data and targeting, brands are able to deliver their video advertisements in ways traditional media has never been able to do. The right message at the right time can be pitched to a single demographic group, or a series of demographics, with matching content.

Compare this with the old way of advertising that sees the same national brand ads plugged into TV shows and repeated, and the potential is obvious.

Adopting all five of these elements to your video advertising strategy will help generate interest, improve overall brand recall and increase sales conversations. So, join the digital age today and become as successful as you can by working with a very professional video production team.  For great deals on video production, contact us now!

Video have been present  for a long time now, as many production styles have evolved over the years, distribution channels have emerged, interactivity has blossomed and technology has changed the face of video forever. Even the influence of the video and voice message as it reaches the consumer in new and different ways has changed drastically.

The old cliché sOnlineVideoDeliveryays, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Maybe that picture is no longer a picture, but a video? I believe there are probably millions of people who watch video who would probably agree.

Here are some facts according to Going Social: The State of Video in 2013 that support the paradigm shift from, "a picture is worth a thousand words" to, "a moving picture is worth a million people."

• Forty billion videos are streamed in the U.S. each month.

• Seventy-five million people watch videos online each month.

• $6.3 billion will be spent on video ads in 2015.

Video and SEO -- How Do They Work Together?

We are all aware of the changes that the world wide web have offered to businesses and marketers, but now that SEO has teamed up with the video content to make it even more searchable than ever. If in the past, you needed to use DVD, retail displays and broadcast television, now you have global reaching power because you are equipped with SEO by your side in tandem with video.

It has been cited many times that Google favors video, and after all, they do own YouTube, the second largest search engine in the world -- second to Google, of course.  Google also knows that videos are everywhere, not just on YouTube and on your company website. They are also on social media channels and being watched on your smartphone sitting right in your pocket or hand bag.

When videos are being produced, marketers have to pay more attention not just to their content in the video and who they are producing for, but also for the search engine requirements. Based on consumer trends , broadcast TV has now been overtaken by digital media by almost 45 minutes more per week. That should tell you that digital video and SEO are critical for your marketing efforts.

Start Integrating Video Into Your Marketing -- Now!

The production of video comes with some implications just like media buying does. Video can behave very much the same way because you can produce your own video or pay an agency to do it for you, but either way they can be highly effective. If you decide to produce your own in-house, it is much like content marketing or owned media. You can have more control over the outcome of your message and it will be less expensive, but the downside may be that your production quality will probably suffer. In some cases, this lack of quality content can hurt your brand's reputation and brand image, so chose wisely.

Marketers Love Video and Everything It Brings to the Brand

When video and the web are combined, nothing seems to communicate stories more effectively. Marketers know this and they are increasing their marketing budgets to accommodate video.

According to ReelSEO's 2013 Q4 Video Marketing Survey & Business Video Trend Report, their findings are giving us an indication that video is on the rise and marketers should take notice.

• 93% of marketing professionals are implementing video in their strategies.

• 84% are using video for website marketing.

• 82% have expressed the positive effect video has on their organization.

Reach and Recall

Marketers always think about reach and recall. The good news about these two key performance indicators is that video is known to enhance a marketing campaign's reach, and at a lower cost. In the  Nielsen and the IAB report we can see that the  video is also known to make a marketing campaign more effective through generating an increase in brand recall (+33 percent) and message recall (+45 percent).

If a picture isn't worth a thousand words any longer, it may just be worth a million eyeballs or even increased sales.

How often do you listen to a radio ad, or watch the same boring commercials before you begin to dislike a product without even trying it?  This is the problem facing many corporations that incorrectly brand their products in a certain light.  The achievement of a successful brand is not solely for monetary gain, but to create a social friendly projection of a company’s reasoning.  You want to have a massive audience that returns for the next evolutionary step, don’t you?  Well with video marketing, Singapore based companies have realized this has become the next step in achieving immediate success.

Video Marketing is a process in which the company selling the product works in tandem with a video advertising institution.  From there, a marketing plan is drafted based upon which audience and demographic the company is aiming for.  Having the distinct demographics that are being targeted for a particular ad lays down the skeleton of the project.  The success of the advert is reliant on how well the pre-production process goes.

Next, writers are brought in to further shape the advert in whichever way the company gives their blessing.  Whether it be comedic, heart-warming or straight forward informative testimonials, there are plenty of options to take. Once the project has attained ‘in-production’ status, the work of camera operators, directors and sound persons comes into play.  There is so much going on behind the scenes, yet it’s not even hinted at in the final product.  The ad will then be handed over to post production, where final editing, sound mixing and graphics will be applied.

Why You Should Outsource Video Marketing in Singapore

This process may sound like an enormous task, but in actuality, it’s quite a streamlined effort when done with a video marketing professional in Singapore.  These video marketing Singapore based companies either hire video production firms to tend to the task of actual filming and editing, or can work completely in house.  All the physical task is left to the video marketing team; the branding company is relied upon to accept or reject the final product.

When you choose professional video marketing in Singapore based companies, it becomes quite a simple process that houses multiple tasks to create one finished idea which is released in quick succession to a waiting audience.

The Importance of Video Marketing In The Digital Era

The Internet has millions of viewers daily.  It is the proven testing ground for new companies vying to legitimize their brand.  With an ever changing economy calling for the need to reduce advertising costs, video marketing being uploaded and streamed online was only an eventuality.  Video marketing can help by creating a strong sense of reliability and, more importantly, believability.

Plus, there are so many companies utilizing the popularity of search engines, optimising a website’s video content has become a tried and true method.  It not only capitalizes on websites that use Search Engine Optimization programming, it gives an instantaneous look into what your company stands for right to the viewer.

To succeed today, you need video marketing.  Singapore has what you’re looking for, it’s only a matter of finding it.  To get started with some great deals on video marketing packages, contact us right now!
