This Month’s Marketing Must: Video Content

Video killed the radio star, and it’s still on the rise. Video is a powerful marketing tool to help you connect with customers, share what your business is all about, and show–instead of tell–why people should do business with you.

72% of customers would rather learn about a product or service through a video than text.
