Let’s look at the two powerful takeaways that your business can integrate into your next video for engaging customers through marketing:
Storytelling
It’s the oldest form of communication and still the most effective. Storytelling helps viewers see the big picture behind a company and brand. It helps put them in the story and reveals interesting facts, insider knowledge and beneficial tips for success. Each video tells a separate story, but the impact is still powerful and unique for viewers.
Testimonials
These companies are made up of unique and creative individuals. Each video features footage from the life of different employees serving within their varied positions. These dynamic glimpses into the everyday life of an employee shows a prospect where they could also fit in. The key is showcasing authentic relationships and shared passion.
