How to Be Successful at Video Marketing
5 Tips to be Successful at Video Marketing Campaigns
Not every business can execute a video marketing campaign which goes viral straight away. For every John Lewis or Sainsbury’s Christmas video ad, there are thousands upon thousands of videos which don’t go viral. It’s rare to go viral on the back of a video marketing, or even a digital and social media marketing campaign, and it shouldn’t be a business’ primary goal.
Instead, businesses would be best served to focus on executing an overall marketing strategy, involving video, which is successful.
Video Content Marketing
As far as Google PPC and social media ads are concerned, video should be an integral part of these marketing campaigns. Ginger Digital offer a unique service where we develop paid video ads (using Google and YouTube ads ) to execute PPC and social media campaigns which, statistically speaking, increase conversions for our customers.
As video marketing specialists, we take great pride in building converting paid video campaigns to turn prospects into clients or customers. Ginger Digital also specialise in video production, in anything from whiteboard animation to live-action case study videos.
It’s excellent if a business recognises the importance and value of video to their marketing strategy, first of all. But how can they put video into an effective, successful campaign? The team at Ginger Digital have outlined some of our tips to help you recognise compelling video content, which can be applicable to PPC and social media advertising campaigns.
How to Make Your Video Marketing Campaigns Work
Don’t repeat or rephrase the same marketing spiel that everyone has heard hundreds of times before. Your brand and business needs its own identity, and shouldn’t copy a successful brand’s. Therefore, if you put the physical sale at the back of your mind, instead focusing on telling a story, you can concentrate on giving your customers an emotive sell. Video campaigns are great opportunities for storytelling, where you can showcase your brand, ethos, culture, people and products in subtle and effective ways.
It’s widely-recognised that you have the first few seconds to win your audience over. Experts recommend you keep your video short and to the point, therefore you should ensure these first few seconds grab your audience’s attention. Try using this window to make your video ad convey its value and answer the proverbial, “why should I watch this?” question.

Humour is good to use in certain situations, but if executed well, a business can reap so many benefits from using humour in their video marketing campaigns . The key point here is that businesses should not feel constrained by what’s worked before in their industry, and should not try and copy or replicate what’s worked before. Stand out and take advantage of what makes your business unique, in a way that engages your audience and makes them laugh.
Video marketing is a good opportunity to educate your customers on who you are, what you do and what makes you different from your competitors. It’s great as many people are visual learners, and education can come in many forms. Video content is easily digestible for most people, which can provide an element of social proof that your product or service works. Video case studies are excellent ideas for educating customers, and you can even add an element of humour to these video PPC ads and video social media ads.
Video content is great for both PPC marketing and social media marketing, but it’s important that you know what you’re doing. Using video helps you stand out and outperform ‘normal’ paid adverts but you need to have the marketing strategy figured out if you want to track results and measure your campaign success. Video must be central to all stages of your customer journey, where different videos can be used throughout the sales and marketing funnel.
