The Key to Utilizing Any Progressive Medium for Marketing Purposes is Creating Goals and Identinfying Your Traget Demographic
Are you more successful with individual video
clips or your demo video or both for Internet marketing?
We are finding that professional speakers as
well as businesses benefit from subject based video clips in addition to a full
blown demonstration video. Prospects can view video based on clip content
titles.
Video clips are more affordable when just starting out and better than no
video.
Seasoned veterans also benefit from marketing with subject based video clips in
social marketing. Try a Google search for Tony Alessandra, Jeanne Robertson,
Connie Podesta or Steve Rizzo. You will see their You Tube clips on the first
page. The more you own on page one the better your profit margin. Video clips
with searchable topic help with Internet marketing since video can be indexed
and is referenced on Google with blended content (text and pictures) for better
search results.
Try searching your name on Google and see what comes up.

I have found the
answer to be "Yes" and "Yes." Both work well. Give lots of
content as people get to know you through video. Then have the demo video that
supports that --- and still gives more value. That is what people want today
and the more we do it, the better. It's one of those strange things about the
way life works that the more value you give to others, the more good comes back
to you. I love it!

Ed (and hello to
Terry while I'm at it) Almost three years ago I decided that, in addition to
sending out my periodic columns (as I have for 10 years), I decided to do them
on video as well. The initial response was quite exciting - I was ahead of the
curve at the time. However, over time, most of my clients, CEO types, didn't
want video or want to watch it. Most told me they wouldn't take the time and
preferred my insights in writing. I also had a lot of trouble with firewalls.
Given that corporate clients are my bread and butter I decided the ROI wasn't
worth it and stopped sending the videos. I'm a crisis management consultant and
that may have something to do with it. In spite of this, about six weeks ago I
posted on my home page links to video clips of me on stage and video tips on my
expertise. So far I have received zero comment from clients or prospects; been
fascinating to watch video not be of any marketing assistance. (Of
course I use video in presentations and coaching). I still carefully watch the
trends (flip phones and such) just in case.

The key to utilizing any progressive medium for
marketing purposes is creating goals and identifying you target demographic.
Having heard from your customers that they are not interested in video and
prefer typed information, the next step; is to figure out what the best use of
the video content is. In the past I have found that video is best for
ATTRACTING new clientele not necessarily to appeal to you current client base.
You probably did not receive any feedback because you weren’t using the right
platform to distribute the video.
If you only have video on your homepage, it is not
reaching NEW clientele; it is predominantly reaching people that already go to
your site. If I were you, I would continue doing video that corresponds to your
periodic columns and that reinforce your expertise, however, you should
disseminate the videos to very specific channels and communities. As in You
Tube, Vimeo groups, Itunes Videocast channels, your Facebook page.
You should also reconsider how you promote the
videos. Your goal with the videos should be reinforcing your expertise in the
field, providing informative solutions for people in the industry, and
attracting NEW customers. Therefore, I would suggest promoting the videos in
relevant forums, Linkedin, trend them in relevant twitter topics (tweet a link
and include a hash tag [#] with a relevant keyword like #crisis management),
engage in Facebook groups that are relevant to your field and promote the
videos there, etc...
In summation, Video will fail if not used properly. If you already
know that your current clients are interested in pure information, then you
know that your videos need to be used in a different arena. Make the goals of
your videos attraction/promotion, and promote the videos in industry specific
ways. If you leverage your videos in a way that augments your expertise and
disseminate the videos to a multitude of output sources, you will see an
increase in traffic to your homepage and eventually an increase in revenue.
