What’s holding you back from using video?

Now that you’ve seen what’s possible with video, what’s holding you back? Of course, you need to consider your audience and what format they want to digest information in, but given the choice between a 2 minute explainer  or a page of text, we all know which one we would prefer.

Here’s a few examples of videos you could introduce to get you started on your way to a content strategy that converts:

  • Demo video: Are you trying to launch a new product? Maybe you want to reaffirm what makes your product different from your competitors? Show it off to its full potential with a demo.
