Pros & Cons of Video Marketing

2/2/2021

​For quite some time now, video has been steadily rising in popularity for online content. The number of websites that feature video content has been growing, and more businesses have begun to adopt it as a vital part of their marketing strategies. If you've been considering whether video marketing is right for your business, here are some pros and cons for you to consider.  
 
Pros 

Entertaining and Attention-Grabbing
Internet users are consuming more video content than ever before. For many people, watching a video is preferable to reading a blog post or consuming other types of content. 

High Engagement and Conversion Rates
Adding a video, or in some situations, even just the word "video", increases conversion rates staggeringly. Video content gets the highest levels of engagement compared to other types of posts. 

Limitless Creative Potential
The video format allows for businesses to convey so much information to the viewer, with complete flexibility of style, tone, and message. 
​  

Cons

Time-Consuming Production

It will take longer to plan and produce a video than it would to deliver other types of marketing content. Video production has to go through several stages before it's complete, which means results can take longer for companies that handle video production in-house. 

Costly Overhead
Buying or renting video equipment can be expensive, and there are costs to consider beyond the day of shooting, such as scriptwriting and hiring the cast.

Ad-Skipping 
Making marketing videos just won't cut it; what you need is great marketing videos. Otherwise, many people will choose to skip ads whenever possible. In order to get your content seen by the maximum number of people, you will need to create captivating content that they will want to watch to the end. 
 
 
With a team of talented video creators that make videos too good to skip, and affordable pricing to avoid the overhead, Clairant can offer you all the pros of video marketing while taking on all the cons ourselves.

I learned from your information that people often think that watching a video is better than reading a blog or a post. With this in mind, our new business is going toward video production for online marketing. We feel that this is a wave of the future and we want to get ahead of the game. In my opinion, being ahead in technology has always been the proper move. We will call a video production service sometime in the next two weeks.

I loved how you said that watching videos are more preferred that reading a blog. My sister started her business last month, and she talked to me on the phone last night about how she wants to find more ways to reach out to clients and customers. I'll pass this information along to her so she can look into hiring a company that can help her with video production!
