The Rise of Short-form Video Content For B2B

91% of business owners believed in creating video content for their businesses as a more productive means. In recent times, 88% of marketers see video content as a better investment that has meaningful returns than posting static business images. But is the short-form content an ideal method for B2B brands? Should B2B marketers pay more attention to the creation of short videos as a means of reaching their audiences? Let's talk about it!

The Power of Short-Form Video Content

Yes, short-form video content has the sustainability to achieve any set goals it has been created for. Without much ado, I have summarized what short-form video content can achieve into two main points. Check it out!

1. Capturing Attention in a Fast-Paced World

According to research, 90% of any stored information in the human brain is visual. TikTok gained more followers than other social media platforms majorly because of the engaging video content its audiences are exposed to. As the second popular social media platform, Instagram has actively been gaining more followers through their video contents that were able to capture attention. Most especially through its reels.

2. Enhancing Brand Awareness and Recall

Every business needs to create effective awareness to reach target audiences. Apart from other marketing strategies, short-form videos have proven to reach audiences at a quicker rate than other strategies. This is because customers are more likely to remember information they see and hear than any written information. Obviously, video content contributes more in helping to boost brand awareness than other methods.

Snackable Strategies: How Short-Form Video is Engaging B2B Audiences

The digital medium has enabled people to create content, including written words, audio, and infographics, to reach their audiences. Business-to-business (B2B) use social space to inform and persuade others to consider their products or services.?

Nowadays, more attention is on the bite-sized clips as they have been a successful tool in reaching 90% of the population. It has also become a popular marketing strategy for B2B in recent times. 74% of B2B marketers agree that these videos engage their audiences more than other marketing strategies. They found it as a better investment than others.?

Moving ahead, I discovered two effective ways of how short-form video can be used in engaging B2B Audiences.

1. Crafting Compelling Video Stories

The success stories of their customers exploring their products or services are recreated as short-form videos to show their audiences. Also, how-to-guides are turned into compelling video content to help their target audiences to overcome their pain-points related to their services or products.?

2. Optimizing Videos For Each Platform

After the creation of these bite-sized videos, then they are uploaded on each of the social media platforms like Linkedin, Tiktok. But for more visibility, there is the incorporation of relevant keywords either for captions or as a description of the video and also, employ the usage of optimized images in the short video content.

B2B Brands Take Center Stage on Social Media Platforms

Can the B2B brands take the center stage on platforms like linkedin, Youtube and Tiktok? Obviously, Yes! In a bid to stay ahead of the game, many B2b brands start leveraging these platforms for more visibility. Grab a coffee and let me show you how they are taking the center stage.

1. Leveraging LinkedIn for Professional Video Marketing

Linkedin is a social media platform where professions from different work of life get to expand their network and to develop their career. It is an ideal platform for B2b marketers to grow their industry and more insights. Through linkedin, B2B brands employ the snackable strategy of reaching their audiences on a larger scale. Ideal audiences are targeted with explainer videos to address common pain points and video ads to promote their product and services.???

2. Exploring the Creative Potential of TikTok for B2B

Tiktok is another game changer, B2b brands leverage to interact, build brand awareness and connect with target audiences. Tiktok is a platform where creators are allowed to post their created content and connect with their audiences. It is another social home for B2b marketers to share customer success stories in short-form videos and collaborate with B2b focused Tiktok influencers to promote products or services.

3. Exploring The Unending Strength Of Youtube For B2b

The ability to move from traditional advertising to a more informative and engaging way for businesses is the unending strength of Youtube. Youtube has been a social media platform housing different creators to promote their products or services. However, it is a platform accommodating short and long videos. B2b brands leverage on the unending strength of Youtube to reach out to their target audiences through short-form video content. Reels or shorts are created with relevant keywords showcasing the strength of the industry.?
