You put a lot of time, effort, and money into creating an excellent business video, but now you need help. If no one watches it, this can be discouraging. Nonetheless, keep pushing forward with the idea of making more business videos in the future. Videos are a good way to promote your business and brand.
If you want viewers and engagement, you must first learn how to promote your business video. Here are some video marketing ideas for businesses:
Make sure your business video has a great title:
To promote your corporate video, you first need a great title. Pick an engaging title that will make people want to click and watch your video. Be sure it’s not clickbait, though. You don’t want to mislead anyone. You aim to let people know what your video is about in just a few words and arouse interest.
Optimize your video with the right keywords:
The title of your business video should feature one relevant keyword. Your entire video should be optimized for keywords. YouTube is a major search engine, so staying up-to-date with SEO best practices is essential to promoting your business video.
Search for trending keywords relevant to your video and include them in its title, description, and tags. But don’t just write a list of keywords as the title and description of your video. Please include them naturally in your copy.
Add a smiling face to your video thumbnail:
Be sure to design a high-quality thumbnail for your video. Your chosen colours and fonts should catch the eye and connect your video to your brand.
Adding a smiling face to your video thumbnail is also a good idea. People will be more likely to watch a video if they see someone who smiles and makes eye contact.
Don’t hesitate to ask people to share your video:
As you promote your business video, ask everyone you know to watch and share it. Your friends, family, most loyal customers, and people in your business network will surely help you. You should also ask your viewers to share your video if they enjoyed it, either in the video itself or in its description.
Add your video to your website or blog:
Embedding your business video on your website can be a good way to get more people to watch it. This will encourage visitors to spend more time on your landing or, product or service pages.
You could embed your video in a relevant blog article. People who prefer watching videos to reading blog posts will be happy to watch yours if they want to know more about this topic.
Send your video to your next newsletter:
Of course, you should post your business video on social media to promote it. But remember your business newsletter. If you have an email list of happy clients and people interested in your products or services, send them your video.
Descript its topic to interest them. You could even give them behind-the-scenes information about how it was created.
Share your business video on forums and Q&A sites:
Could your video help someone? Does it answer different questions or offer a helpful tutorial?
Be sure to share it on relevant forums and Q&A sites. But don’t simply post the link to your video and leave the forum. Write an insightful post describing your video and what people could learn from it. If someone asks a question or posts a comment about your video, be sure to engage with them in a friendly manner.
Run a giveaway on social media:
Simply posting your business video on social media might not get people to watch and share it. To generate engagement, try running a giveaway on social media. Offer a prize relevant to your business. Ensure people who click on the link to your giveaway end up on a webpage or blog post featuring your video.
Pay to promote your video on social media:
Finally, you could pay to promote your business video on social media. It doesn’t cost a fortune and will help you get your video in front of relevant and interesting people. If you combine at least a few of these tips, you will get more views for your business video and feel motivated to create more of them as part of your marketing strategy.
