So what can you do to harness Video’s power for your organization? Let’s talk about a 3 powerful trends that are happening for 2017

1^st is Facebook Video. Facebook is investing heavily in video, and so if you’re not utilizing a Facebook Video ad campaign, you’re really missing out. On Facebook you can specifically target people you want to do business with right on their Facebook wall. Not to mention, once you get all those new fans with you campaign, you can speak right to all your followers utilizing Facebook Live.

2^nd is Video Resources for Sales Teams. Consumers and Business are doing more research into the company or person they want to do business with. Think about it from your perspective and how do you make purchases or investments. You do your research. Video helps tremendously with perceived value. Why you ask? because you can specifically show how what and why you do what you do affects and changes someone’s life for the better. It’s vitally imperative that your Sales team or person has Video Content tools to market with. Focus on creating a series of videos for your sales team so they can use those videos to drive your potential client down the sales funnel.

And this leads to the 3^rd trend and that is the rise of Infotainment… Yes, you heard right. It’s infotainment, it’s not longer expectable to just make a video that tells what you do. You have to tell a story of how what and Why you do affects and changes someone’s life or business for the better.
