The major advantage is that it is cheaper to produce and just as effective as a television commercial. It can be shared across various mediums, such as newsletters, emails, social media, video hosting sites and on your website. You can reach a more specific audience with a promotional video, ensuring that your marketing budget is well spent. Video promotion of a product increases sales by over 35%, and videos perform well on mobile sites where the majority of your shoppers will be found. It is also a great way to educate your audience and show them how your product works. The added bonus of being able to track the effectiveness of your promotional video through analysis makes it more attractive than television commercials.
Of businesses that use video, 83% believe it provides a high Return On Investment (ROI). A product video on your landing page could increase conversion to 80%, and 74% of people who watch an explainer video go on to make a purchase. A quality promotional video increases your reach. People who watch them use the share button to send it to their friends and social media contacts. A well-produced video builds trust with your audience, which is the foundation for conversion and sales. It also increases your visibility on search engines and makes your content more appealing to mobile users.
While it might seem expensive to shoot a promotional video, it is cheaper than a television commercials. When done correctly, it drives engagement, increases brand awareness and ROI from your video marketing efforts. It might seem cheaper to film your promotional content yourself but the end product lacks professionalism and comes across as amateurish at best.

More businesses in Brighton and nearby areas are seeing how video can improve their marketing results. Your target consumers collectively watch billions of hours in marketing videos each month and interestingly, a third of them are likely to buy a product after viewing a promotional video. Apart from the fact that potential customers are receptive to videos, they are also likely to share them with their immediate circles online.
This further enhances the potential reach of your video and makes more sales possible. Promotional videos also act as a great tool to educate your audience on any topic you deem fit. If the educational material is valuable enough, it will be shared with a wide range of audiences especially on social media.

They are highly rated by search engine algorithms especially those videos that have gained some traction already through views and shares.
