Already one of the most powerful tools in a marketer’s arsenal, video is fast becoming the number one way to generate conversions.
Video content marketing is one of the most powerful ways to market your product or service. Its inherent ability to capture and hold a consumer’s attention longer than people will spend on a text or image is great, and its ability to appeal to multiple sense is super compelling.
If video isn’t a part of your content marketing strategy already, it soon will be if you want to remain competitive.
