7. Introduction
It's undeniable that marketing via online video is hot right now, has
been for the last two years, and will be for years to come.
No matter how great your current online video traffic strategy is
right now, there's more you can do.
And no matter how new you are to creating video content, and
leveraging it to increase your customer base, it's not too late to start.
Yet.
Here are some basic statistics if you aren't convinced:
• According to Cisco, 50% of mobile traffic will be video by the end of this year – yes,
2011.
• They also project that by 2013, 90% of all internet traffic will be video. If the internet
grows at the current rate, that doesn't necessarily mean that no one will read text
anymore, but they will definitely be in the minority.
• The same study says that quality isn't the factor that makes people want to watch, it's
information as often as entertainment, (content) and the ability to socially interaction
(commenting and conversation with community or the video creator).
But some information is better digested as text- for example, in this document, you can
scan to the information that is most relevant to you instead of having to view an entire
video. We'll come back to that later.
• People are paying attention to this video content as well. Although you have between 10
– 60 seconds to capture your viewer's attention before 44% of them are likely to leave,
the ones that remain engaged are much more likely to take action, including buying.
A survey from last year shows that 46% of frequent online shoppers prefer sites with
video. Some retailers experience a 12% conversion boost from including it.
• Marketing to other businesses? C-level executives surveyed by Forbes magazine prefer
video on business-related sites by a 75% landslide, with 65% of them visiting the site
after watching a video hosted elsewhere.
60% also stated that if there was both text and video on the same page, they'd watch
the video rather than reading the text. Half of executives under 40 also made purchases
after watching product videos, as did 43% of those in their 40% and 26% of those in
their 50s.
• What about general consumers? If a product video is present, viewers are 85% more
