5 Reasons You Need Video in Your 2016 Marketing Plan
Did you see that video about the….
Well, it doesn’t actually matter which video. Chances are you watched some online video this week, probably today. Experts are calling 2015 the Year of Video Marketing, and the stats are only expected to climb:
- 78 percent of people watch videos online every week; 55 percent watch every day
- People are 85 percent more likely to purchase something after watching a product video
- Landing pages with videos increase conversions by 86 percent
- Emails with “video” in the subject line have a 19 percent higher open rate and a 65 percent higher click-through rate
- YouTube has more than a billion users – almost a third of all Internet users in the world
Clearly, video is What’s Next – which is why Balcom has been building our video department for the past two years. Making your video or TV commercial in-house means we save you time and money; it also means your project is part of a larger strategy. Because “full-service marketing agency” doesn’t just mean we do it all; it means you get a bunch of different experts (from advertising to PR to digital) making sure your entire campaign works together to create more business for you.
Sound good? Check out what our video team can do.
