Benefits of using video:
1. Users Love Watching Videos
According to YouTube, users watch over 1 billion hours on their platform each day. This data shows that more people prefer watching videos now over reading an article or listening to audio. If you want to boost traffic and increase conversions, incorporate video marketing in your strategies.
Post your videos to your social media platforms with the link to your YouTube videos to attract and increase viewers. And remember: always create videos that are compelling and engaging to keep and gain more viewers. Sometimes, getting a conversion is a numbers game. More followers mean more chances of getting a conversion.
According to Vidyard, 52% of viewers also watch the video until the end. So ensure that you add a call to action to your video. Add this either in the middle part or at the end of the video. If you’re selling a product or service, make sure that you direct the user to your landing page.

If you want to generate more revenue for your business, we recommend using videos in your advertising—post on your website and all social media channels to attract more viewers. Better yet, include the word “video” in your email’s subject line as that can increase the open rates to about 19%, according to HighQ.
While sales pages and photos with a call to action can help you generate more sales, about 84% of consumers think they are more convinced when videos over other mediums.
