Start Your Video Marketing with the Engagement Stage

9. Best Practice Engagement: Video Gating
• Video gating leads to an “exchange” of prospect information for your content.
Make your video content compelling enough to entice the viewer to fill out the
lead gen form with personal information
• Test your gating preferences for each target audience and each type of
content. Results vary and your strategy should reflect tested results
• Gate single videos rather than a landing page to give insight into the content
behind the gate
• Start with mid-roll gating, then A/B test pre and post-roll if results are not as
expected
• Consider “soft gates” if your conversion rates are low
