[Infographic] Five Top Tips for Successful Video Marketing

Video may no longer feel like the new kid on the marketing block but like most new technologies, wide-spread adoption can take a bit of time and best practice takes even longer. While some will charge on in head first, in the long run you'll benefit from taking a step back and having a look at some basic fundamentals for a great video.

The above infographic highlights five things to consider when planning to produce your first videos for marketing, some things production pros have known a while 😉

  1. Keep it Short: Less is definitely more when it comes to videos. 
  2. Pay Attention to Audio: Don't just rely on the voiceover: music and special effects also play a key role in a polished production.
  3. Watch Your Language: Scripts need to adopt not only the right tone but also the right vocabulary and accent. Remember that you only have a limited time to give the correct impression. If in doubt, keep the vocabulary simple and direct. Address the audience directly, as if you were having a conversation.
  4. The End Goal: Keep the end goal in mind at all times: what do you want your audience to do as a result of what you've shown them?
  5. Get Feedback: Remember that this is a spoken narrative - take the time to read it aloud, preferably to an audience who are able to give you feedback.
