Developing a video marketing strategy

1. Allocate resources- You’re going to need to designate some budget for video – at the least, decent equipment, good editing software, and a video marketing guru (or, better, team) – as well as time to create it.

2. Tell your stories- Storytelling has never been as important as it is in video, so get brainstorming: What stories do you want to tell? How will you tell them?

3. Engage- It’s not enough to simply tell your stories; you must engage your audience while you do so. How will you make your stories interesting? What will hook your audience?

4. Keep it short- There’s no set length for marketing videos (although there are recommendations), but the general rule is that shorter is better. Be ruthless with your editing. Cut, cut, cut out everything extraneous. Attention spans are short, so make the best of what you get.

5. Publish- Publish your videos far and wide – embedded in your website, uploaded to Google-owned YouTube, and on all your social media channels. Then, promote, promote, promote.

6. Analyze- Track metrics and stats, to determine which videos do the best – and why.
