Video marketing is one of the keys to growth of any business online. Most of the time, you will find that customers would prefer to watch a video about any given product than read about it, this is particularly because, watching a video is easier, and entertaining at the same time than just reading through the content. When your market with a video, it enables you to educate potential end-users/customers how a product works to solve problems and needs.
Some of the key reasons why you need to start employing videos in your marketing strategy whether you are promoting your content or marketing a given product include:
Most of the time content with a video is likely to be shared many more times than that without one, basically because, people share emotions, not facts and that is the reason why most social networks encourage video content e.g. Instagram allows a 60 second videos & Instagram stories allows video and live streaming, Twitter has Periscope which lets you stream content live etc. Using the word ” Video” in an email subject line boosts the open rates.
Putting a face on-camera allows potential clients to see who you are, identify with you personally and build trust without even meeting you in person. Remember, building and maintaining trust with your prospects and current customers is usually a top priority of any business.

Hi Cassie, thanks for your feedback.
I've read before that "if your business is not on YouTube, you are not really online" YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine used by potential customers (2nd only to Google and way ahead of the 3rd place search engine), which means every business needs to have an established presence on YouTube!
I totally agree with you. Yes YouTube plays a key role in online marketing, and any business which wants to succeed can't afford to do without it. Thanks for your insightful comments.
