It may seem daunting at first but video is an amazing tool to find new customers, educate them on your business, and keep them up to date about what’s going on or coming soon.

Where to start can be tricky, but we have come up with a list of our top 3 Types Of Video Every Business Needs on their website as a great place to start:
1. Business Advert/Trailer
This will most likely be the first thing your potential customers will see from your brand, so it needs to be your best. This media can take many forms, from an abstract video which gets across your brand’s personality to a story-driven user experience of your service or product, or an explainer about what sets you apart from the rest and how you can improve your potential customer’s lives.

3. Video FAQs
Video FAQs are used by the likes of Amazon, Skype and RBS to name a few. If they’re using them they must be worth doing. Below are 3 examples of video FAQs.
These types of videos serve a nice dual purpose, they are practical but really effective. Firstly, they can cut down on wasted traffic and increase your qualified leads by allowing people to see if the product or service is really for them. They will educate your existing customers leading to less wasted time answering the same questions time after time.
Secondly, they build the client relationship. This practice shows you have taken time to look at their customer experience and have tried to improve it. It can position you as a leader in your field by outputting educational content and it shows you have the expertise to do so. These videos can also further humanise your brand if you have the relevant team members answering the questions that apply to them. Presentation in your brand’s voice is key.
People retain 95% of information from a video compared to 10% via reading plain text.
FAQ videos mean that your customers will be on average 10x more likely to understand and not follow up with the same questions.
Now this isn’t where it ends for video, this is just the beginning. To keep up, the next step would be to start creating consistent organic content for your company. This can take many forms which we discussed in another blog here. Different types of videos will help boost your company’s image in your field, making you the go-to source for information or entertainment.
