Most Important Video Marketing Objectives

21. What Types of Videos Should I Create?
21
Important Tip:
• Each video should have
one goal only.
• Example: If your want
to highlight a
testimonial or explain
your company’s
mission, two different
videos are needed.

22. What Types of Videos Should I Create?
22
Important Tip:
• If you want long-lasting
content, and don’t plan
to regularly produce
videos over time, some
videos have more
longevity than others:
mission statements,
case studies and “how
to’s”.

23. What Resources Will I Need?
• You’ve determined your goals, the
next step is to figure out resources
you’ll need.
• This means the budget and people
needed to get the project done.
• Of course, the big question that
impacts these: Outsource or DIY?
23

24. What Resources Will I Need?
• How much can you spend on
the project?
• It’s possible to produce a
professional DIY video with the
right tools and equipment.
• We’ve put a list of tools in the
appendix that can help you on
your way.
24

25. Video Costs 25
• Do you have budget to hire
a professional company?
• For certain videos you
definitely want to make
them very professional.
• An example would be one
on your homepage to
explain your product.

26. Video Costs 26
Many factors affect price, like:
• Pre-production time, cameras,
equipment, time (shoot and edit),
motion graphics and color correction.
• Can be few hundred dollars for an
amateur video.
• The average cost for a professional
video ~$5k - ~$6k per minute.

27. Video Length 27
• Videos vary in length
depending on the
type or purpose.
• A service or product
video should be 1 –
2.5 minutes in length.
• Social media videos
should be 15 – 30
seconds long.

28. 28
Determining the Right Content
• Now you have goals, type,
budget/resources determined…
• Next decide what you will say
and how you will say it.
• Get your branding team ready
to fully understand your buyer
persona before you start.

29. Determining the Right Content 29
• Video marketing is content
marketing so the same golden
rule applies: it must be relevant
and engaging.
• Then, the video has to have
good quality, sound and lighting.
• A poorly produced video will not
add value to your brand.

30. 30
How to Write Your Script
• Are you a good writer? If not
there are resources to help
you write the script.
• Start writing the script using
this acronym, BLOT (Bottom
Line On Top).
• An effective script should be
about 125 - 150 words.

31. 31
How to Write Your Script
• Viewers have short attention - expect
approx. 20% to watch only 10 seconds.
• Deliver the “BLOT” message in first 10
seconds.
• Use main body for core messaging to
explain the BLOT clearly and how you
will do what you’re promoting.
• If you have stats or something for
credibility, add to the main part.

32. 32
How to Write Your Script
• You need a clear CTA (Call To Action).
• The CTA reflects what you wanted to
achieve with the video.
• This is the last part of your script.
• Make sure you read it out loud to find
anything that sounds odd or doesn’t align
with your objective.
• It will also save time and money.

33. Effective Video Content 33
• The best content will
depend on your
buyer persona.
• A general guideline
on the most popular
