Today, services and products are no longer enough as consumers, prospects and customers are looking for pleasures, emotions and sensations from everything they buy. Savvy entrepreneurs have ventured full force into sensory or experiential marketing.
The consumer experience, is an interaction between an individual and a product or service that is pleasant, meaningful and memorable. No wonder then that video marketing has the wind in its sails, the sensory media par excellence that our memory is very popular with. She succeeds as much in the presentation of the product, as in the highlighting of the services attached to it, as in its capacity to create the link and the empathy.
Thus, video marketing allows, during the prospecting phase, to gain an audience; during the engagement phase, to stimulate interactions and accompany the sale with more conversion rates on the sites. Video builds loyalty and facilitates the transformation of customers into ambassadors of the brand.

THE BENEFITS OF VIDEO MARKETING ARE MULTIPLE

1. Facilitates the understanding and memorization of messages.

The very form of video promotes thought and understanding. Its visual based and brings on the connection to real life, captive if only with the movement that keeps us in suspense and alert. The synergy through the simultaneous use of sound, text and image plays totally in its favour. If we add interactivity, 360 ° vision, stereoscopy, immersion, touch, streaming, storytelling ... it becomes unavoidable. If a picture is worth a thousand words, we imagine how much it also facilitates understanding and memorization. And they do not say: you only have to see it to believe it.

2. A powerful multi-support tool.

Another positive lies its ability to adapt to a wide variety of media and to emerge from a multitude of information. Social media and mobile make it easy to share, posts and videos can go as far as a frenzied viralality of your communication.

3. Generates trust

The empathy capital, immediate and renewable, that can generate from an image goes far beyond what a text can provide. It is therefore an undeniable tool to humanize the relationship between you and your customer. Addressing people visually with video causes striking and strong sensations, but doing it with text, does not have the same impact at all. Very often, watching a video defines better and faster your brand image.
