Video Advertising Is Bringing Content’s Reign As King To An End

Most of us know the term “content is king,” used by marketers and SEO specialists everywhere. The value of content to produce marketing results and to drive the internet as we know it has been undeniable. We create content for customers and internet-browsers alike to digest and indulge in. We have created search engines like Google that are totally based on exploring and discovering content.

In recent times, there has been a new kind of content that has emerged and is quickly becoming the new king of the internet. It is video marketing and it has been an even better way to engage people online and to convert them into paying customers. The rise of video is making its mark and it seems that the future looks very video-friendly, as video popularity is not expected to end anytime soon.

In e-commerce, video is becoming increasingly important, as even Facebook has recently added a new metric that allows advertisers to create better videos in the future by seeing how many people click through to their websites and apps. Facebook took notice of the popularity of videos a long time ago, and has been incorporating them on their platform more and more.

Online video advertising has been a proven great strategy to use. Companies that have taken advantage of video marketing have seen 41% more organic traffic, while landing pages that feature a video have 80% more conversions. Not only that, but videos are great for retaining information. People tend to retain 95% of the information found in a video but only 10% of information found in text. Lastly, people want more videos, as 43% of them are hoping that marketers will use videos more in the future. Considering this information, it looks like video’s reign as king is only beginning.
