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. This month, why not invest in video marketing for your business.
This Month’s Marketing Must: Video Marketing
72% of customers would rather learn about a product or service through a video than text.
- Make a quick video from your cell phone walking through your location or introducing yourself and share it on social media.
- Try going live on Facebook or Instagram to build engagement with your audience.
- Test YouTube Ads to further engage and reach your audience.
October Marketing & Promotion Ideas
- Holiday shopping starts this month (we know, it seems early!) — make sure your holiday marketing is locked and loaded and maybe even running already.
- Do a quick search for your competitors – are they doing anything in their marketing you should try? Are they offering something you’re not? Think about how you can stand out from them either through positioning your business, ramping up your marketing, or changing up your product offerings.
- Everyone enjoys a three-day weekend – well, some states will this month! Implement long-weekend specials and make sure to update your opening hours on Google My Business if you’re closing for the public holiday.
