Video content

Video content or video marketing is one of the different ways of presenting content; If it has a good idea, plan and structure. which is implemented and presented in the best way, can be far more effective than other methods of content production.

In general, the daily release of 14 billion videos in the world alone shows the importance, effect and usefulness of video.

Benefits of video content

Now, what are these effects and benefits that can separate video from other methods of presenting content:

The first point is to combine image, sound, movement and text in the video. In a video, the message is conveyed to the audience both audio-visually, this increases the credibility of the audience and also gives more credibility to the conveyed message.

The speed of conveying the message in video is unique, the audience receives more, more useful and more interesting information by spending less time than other forms of content. It has been said that a minute of video is more effective than a million words.

A video can transmit a series of messages systematically. In a video, a story can be told and recreated audiovisually.

The details that can be expressed in a video are far more than all forms of content production. These details, in addition to giving more detailed information to the audience and increasing their awareness in the desired field, also increase the power of the audience’s imagination.

Another advantage is brought by YouTube’s global network, which is based on video sharing. Such a network makes it possible for the content that is produced through video to be placed in the initial search results and also to get a higher rank.

In YouTube, unlike other social networks, in addition to its one billion users, even people who are not members of YouTube can view videos in Google search results, and this is a good advantage for video content producers.

In addition, the video can be shared on the site, blog, instant messengers and all the different social networks.

Another important point is the interactive power of videos, which is much more than text and other forms of content; Because no matter how good we are as a writer, there is still a possibility that the audience will not connect well with our writing and we cannot describe the reality as it is.

For example, you can never describe a company, a factory, and an office as it is, but you can depict it well so that the audience feels that they are one with us.

The audience connects more with the video and imagines itself in the scene; And this means the visualization of the brand and product and the feeling that the audience has towards it.

Some trainings and information are not included in any text or photos and are only possible through video. The audience should be informed step by step and with all the details in order to understand the essence of the matter.

The last and most important thing is trust. The percentage of gaining audience trust in video is much higher than other methods. For example, no matter how much we read text or see pictures about the waterproofness of a phone, we will not believe it until we see it with our own eyes.
