Using Business Animation As Part of Your Internet Marketing Campaign

There are a lot of reasons why you need to incorporate business animation web video  into your internet campaign. The sooner you do it the better as a study by Forbes Magazine way back in October 2010 showed that sixty percent of people said they would rather watch a video than read a landing page full of text. Furthermore YouTube got a trillions views in 2011 which says a great deal about the medium’s popularity. Even more important to note that of the top five of those trillion videos only one of them did not have any animation or special effects at all.

Some webmasters and business owners are a bit lost at first as to how to exactly make web videos part of their internet marketing campaign. This is because they are often thinking of making just one video and making it the length and structure of a television commercial. Although it is a fantastic strategy to think of your video uploads as commercials there are all sorts of other video formats that you can use to promote your business.

Video formats that you can consider using as promotional content include –

How-to videos – for example if you have a gift shop you could give a lesson on how to wrap a gift in a beautiful way or if you sell a special vacuum cleaner you can do a how-to video on how to clean it properly

Testimonials – These are harder to get but you can ask satisfied customers to give your opinion of your product whether it be a matter of enjoying your dentistry services or giving their opinion on the pickled green beans that you sell

Interviews with experts – If you are selling an informational product or system it is always a nice idea to interview an expert or guru in the field – of course in this case you might have to pay the expert to say a few words about your product

On-the-scene videos – This category of video crafting might involve showing your customers how you install hardwood flooring (if you have a flooring business) or how our employees make our special organic cookies (if you own a bakery)

Music videos – If you hire a talented team you can create a music video to advertise your product and if you are really lucky, it could catch on as a musical hit

You can also use business animation, cartoons and a powerful sound-track to augment these types of videos which do not have to be boring just because they happen to be factual. Adding a bit of animation or some special effects can also help you connect more with your audience. This is especially true if you have done what is known as a “talking head” style video. This refers to a video that doesn’t show much more than a headshot of a person talking. The good news is that if you have made a video like this but it is a bit boring, you can augment it with text, images, animation, music and a lot of other technical touches to make it more educational and interesting.
