Psychological impact | The human brain is structured to process visual images quickly and efficiently. Video content exploits this innate ability by conveying information in a way that captivates and engages viewers. | With a well-made video, brands can communicate their ideas, values, and offers to viewers not only in an informative, but also in an emotional way. It’s much more efficient to present a car crash test once rather than writing a series of blog posts about it. |
Catchy and viral content | Video content will remain in viewers’ minds for a long time after viewing. The combination of visual, audio, and narrative elements makes a video memorable, increasing the likelihood that viewers will remember your brand when making a purchase decision. | High-quality videos that are based on an interesting and unique idea go viral and get shared on social networks. It enhances the recognizability and “virality” of the brand. To accomplish this, it is essential to speak to your audience in their own language. |
Emotional connection | Video clips have the potential to evoke emotion, which is one of the most important aspects of brand building. Through narrative, music and visuals, videos can create an emotional connection with viewers, fostering brand loyalty and commitment. | It is much easier to evoke sympathy, joy, anger, envy – these and other feelings through video rather than text. You need to create the right environment and use the proper lighting. Creating strong emotional connections, brands create long-lasting relationships, which affects future sales. |
Demonstration of product and service features | With video, brands can showcase their products or services in action, visually demonstrating potential customers what they can purchase. | Videos on how to use a multicooker, blender, exercise bike or software answer users’ questions and promote a positive opinion. |
