B2B Video Marketing Tools for Marketers
Tech marketers: check out these B2B video marketing tools that will help you produce and monitor video content.
Video is increasingly becoming more important in digital marketing.
In 2017, 63 percent of organizations started using video marketing for their businesses, a figure that increased to 87 percent by 2019 and has stayed relatively steady since, according to a report from Wyzowl.
Brian McNeill, co-founder of Stringr, a company that offers a video Software-as-Service platform, adds tat 73 percent of consumers are more likely to buy a product after watching a video about it and that consumers who watch product videos are 1.9 times more likely to complete an online purchase.
“When it comes to brands selling on platforms like Amazon, 96 percent of consumers find video helpful when making purchases; 79 percent of online shoppers would rather see a video than read text,” McNeill added. “The right product video can increase conversions by 80 percent.”
The most essential tools for marketing videos, according to Gnau, are a good camera and good audio tools – embedded microphones often don’t provide good quality, ruining the associated video.
Beyond those tools, with video marketing so essential, it’s important that marketers know some of the other tools that will help them create, edit and optimize videos for their customers.
