Making the Case for Video at Every Stage of the Buyer’s Journey

It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again: Video across the digital landscape is what buyers and consumers alike crave. The average U.S. adult spends 5 hours and 57 minutes a day watching video. Compare that number to the average amount of time someone reads each day (16.8 minutes), and you’ll find that people watch videos over 21-times longer than reading text. Video informs, engages, and entices audiences, which means video can and should have a place within your B2B content marketing strategy. But when and how should you leverage video? It’s not just a top-of-funnel tactic reserved for B2C brands. And here are the *stats that showcase it’s potential.

As we covered earlier, more and more people are spending an increasing amount of time watching video online. And that includes your buyers. For your marketing messages to capture and pull in your target audience, it needs to be in a place and in a format they prefer. Today, one of those important formats is video.

B2B videos can range from mere seconds in length to a full hour. Buyers in the engagement stage are likely considering their options, weighing potential solutions to their problem. Videos that explain how your products or services can solve problems are great for this stage. In addition, video reviews also help give your target audience the information they’re looking for, increasing engagement rates with your brand and videos. Here’s an example from **Dell Outlet, teasing the insights they’ve gathered from an array of small business experts and entrepreneurs on making smart tech purchases.

Video is a great learning tool. In fact, approximately 65% of the global population are visual learners. And the more your audience understands and is knowledgeable about your solution, the more likely they are to purchase it. Together, this makes video an excellent way to convince your audience of the value of your product or service.  What types of video are best for the conversion stage of the funnel? Live or on-demand webinars are an excellent way to give your target buyers an in-depth, detailed look at your solution and the benefits you offer. In addition, video testimonials from actual customers are an authentic way to communicate your brand’s value and why you’re a crucial partner across company types and industries.  Top-Performing Video Types: Webinars, Testimonials

Retain

1. 41% of marketers say video has reduced their number of support calls. (3)
2. 86% of viewers say they regularly turn to YouTube to learn something new. (5)

The buyer journey doesn’t stop with a sale. Retention is just as important, if not more so considering the fact that it costs 5-times more to acquire a customer versus retain one. To help you hold on to your customer base, video is a great tool for continuing education and problem solving for your audience. Whether it’s a tutorial video or a video essay, videos are excellent education tools that keep your customers around longer. For example, Salesforce provides several how-to and troubleshooting videos on its Salesforce Support YouTube channel to make it easy for its customers to find solutions and guidance.

Advocate

1. 74% of consumers share video content from brands on social media. (7)
2. Videos receive 21.2% more interactions on Instagram compared to images and 18.6% more interactions compared to carousels. (7)

Yes, marketers want to win new business and encourage return customers. However, another common item on a marketer’s wishlist is to transform buyers (and even employees) into raving fans that advocate for their company to fellow colleagues, peers, and partners. Given the virality of video content, especially on social networks, video marketing is a great opportunity for promoting advocacy within your audience.  To encourage greater advocacy through video, create videos that have the sole purpose of being watched and shared over social networks. These could be short, exciting videos that tease a new product launch or a video that highlights your company culture. Regardless of the topic, it’s important that the video contains something worth sharing and advocating about to others. Top-Performing Video Types: Teasers, Trailers & Cultural Highlights

In the Director’s Chair

There’s a reason why 64% of B2B marketers increased the amount of video content they produced in 2019—it’s effective. And it’s effective across the buyer journey. From attraction to conversion and beyond, video marketing brings B2B brands closer to their buyers. As the person in the director’s chair, now is the time to expand your video marketing (if you haven’t already). What kind of videos should you be making? Check out our breakdown of four different types of B2B videos to learn which ones are best for your brand and marketing goals. *Sources:
