Part 1: Define your goals and understand your objectives
Why should you understand the ROI from your marketing video? After a video goes live, we want to evaluate its performance and its success. We want to know money was spent wisely and why video remains part of your marketing budget.
When you can predict the benefits of your new video, you can evaluate its success. When there is an increase in business, can we attribute it to a customer success video?
With today’s analytics capabilities, we can. We know videos are an indispensable part of every online strategy because our customers can measure their success.
So, how do you understand the value a video brings to your business? First, we need to define the goals. What are the central goals of a video marketing strategy?
Increased Sales
The bottom line for business owners and marketing professionals alike is to ultimately increase sales. We want to increase your overall customer base, and increase your customer acquisition.
Lead Generation
Leads come in many forms. They include newsletter sign ups, but more importantly, they can include a phone call to speak about your products and services. And better yet, for a brick and mortar business, a walk-in is the best kind of lead.
