How Many Videos Should We Make
when it comes to videos for your marketing and sales strategy, the more the better.
Keep the video content short, and easily navigable. For instance, let the FAQ video stand alone, and record a different one for a troubleshooting feature of a new product. The faster that your client can click and get the answer they are looking for, the better for your over all quality score.
The videos don’t have to be over produced either. These days so much video content is being consumed on social channels that overproducing is a waste of money. By providing high quality content within the videos and high quantity of videos, you are leaving a strong impression on your customers. This leads to your potential client taking less time to decide to pick you over your competitors.
