The benefits of video for social media ad campaigns
Cost Effectiveness
If your marketing team creates well-thought-out videos to promote your brand, products, or services, it is possible to use the same clips over and over again. Videos can also stay online for a long time, thus a single investment can continue to produce returns for many months or even years.
Measuring Results
One of the best things about using video for social media ad campaigns is that you can measure the impact of the clip and the results it produces using analytics. That enables your team to further improve their approach in the future and tweek their productions to ensure they catch the attention of more and more people within your target market.
Increased Engagement
During the last couple of years, video has become the most popular advertising medium on social media websites like Facebook. People would rather watch video clips than read lengthy passages of text, and so that approach will improve engagement. Also, it’s vital to remember that viewers will share the ad with their friends and acquaintances if you get it right.
Generating Leads
Research shows that video ads can increase your audience’s purchase intent by as much as 97% when compared to ads that do not contain video. That statistic speaks for itself.
Promoting Brand Awareness
Video is an excellent tool for promoting brand awareness and ensuring your audience link your company with the message you wish to promote. People don’t generally do business with an organisation until they feel a level of trust, and video ads can put a face and personality to your company message, thus ensuring you personalise the entire experience.[/xen_text][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][xen_text text_style=”p-style-medium”]
