It is no matter, if you are a business, or a brand, a person or a mission. You are “in motion”. You move, you talk, you make, you show. That´s what you do and what the others expect to see from you, if you show up, you exist. In the past Video “as a tactic” was something different. It was likely centralized with your creative team as a huge work to carry out to create an amazing presentation of your business. It was made in Flash or other format, or created by an expensive film maker, with lots of focus on production. Things are different since a few years. Video “as a strategy” is quite the opposite. It can be made by anyone of your team, you don´t need to hire Lucas Film of Star-Wars, is conversational, actionable, and measurable. Video as a strategy is the future. Why is this important? Well, if you aren’t creating video, you’re likely falling behind. But, don’t fret. For most videos, the more simple and raw it is, the more authentic the content seems. For example you should just do one or two webinars to double the interest of your people: once you have recorded your webinar, you can remarket your video using videomarketing concepts and webTV Live or even connect to Directors TV via B2BALTIC Television (how to make a webinar+TV you learn here). Hubspot has made a research asking a question to different kind of people, coming from different places: Germany, USA, Colombia, Mexico. People want to watch videos even more than receiving e-mails.

Videos and e-mailing (if well done and not spamming) should be at the base of your sales & marketing strategy. Don´t target just the catalogue to download, with the list of your products, or a banner on a website (social image): they are not enough, people got tired of that.

No stress if your video is not top quality, not perfect. According to research, consumers and customers actually prefer lower quality, “authentic” video over high-quality video that seems artificial and inauthentic. People are searching for reality, genuine things, not only “bio food”, but also “bio-videos”. That´s why you should switch on the camera, or the phone, or ask somebody to film you, and you talk, you say and show something. An interview in office, an interview recorded on skype, a Q&A made on the street while you walk in the city. People will like what you say, how you appear, and will not judge you, nor the quality of the video.

80% of the online content in 2019 will be video or somehow in “motion”. Video making offers the best ROI (return-on-investment). Video sharing plays an important roles: when you make a video you need to share it, to distribute as much as you can, otherwise it will not work for you. To share a video you need to be practice with internet, social medias, an advertising. If you don´t have social acccounts, you don´t have enough followers in internet, your website is not very popular, then you should talk with a video marketing expert. Do remind that the redaction of B2BALTIC Television makes available video makers and video-editors for the members of the community B2BALTIC: they create new videos for video-marketing as collection and adaptation of yours, or create new ones from scratch. After it is done, they share it on the TV networks, or on magazine, send it by e-mail, or pay platforms such us LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google. Ask a tip to the video-editor team.

Which kind of video I need to show up myself or my business?

Videos are short spots (even non longer than 10 seconds), product presentation (better if made on site where the product is made, better no longer than 1 minutes and 29 seconds), business talk (you talk), interview (somebody ask questions and you answer), corporate introduction (you want to talk about your general structure and brand), speech (you have been recorded while you talked at microphone during a meeting), live event (you send a video streaming in real-time during a conference), webinar (you use an online software to gather people´s attention to your matter, infomercial (you make a TV sales, targeting the B2B or P2P selling of your product/service, tutorial (you coach your audience with education content), biz-coaching (you motivate and engage your people around you). We believe that Webinars nowadays are one the smartest way to videomarketing and online sales, although they require more energy: webinars are usually long from 40 minutes to 2 hours.
