Growing your business with the use of video marketing, and how to maximize the power of pre-sales by pre-selling YOUR product.

When it comes to marketing on the web it seems like there's always some new, innovative technique taking the world by storm and helping marketers to make money hand over fist. In today's virtual economy that something is video marketing. Video marketing provides a new kind of advertising to today's virtual consumers and gives Internet marketers the chance to get their feet wet in an area of business that's new to them but has been making money for other businesses for generations.

When you're talking about the online consumer you're talking about a group of individuals that have the long term attention span of a three year old...with ADD... after drinking a liter of Coke. They want to see the information they want right at the very beginning, and if they can't do that they're going to quickly lose interest and move on to something else.

This is why marketers who have elected to stick with the old method of posting sales letters on their sites rather than take advantage of video marketing are losing customers hand over fist. They can't get their audience to sit still long enough to see what they have to offer!

Video marketing brings the power of television to the Internet. Visitors don't have to read. All they have to do is check out the hip, hot, interesting and informative video that you have uploaded to your site (which, incidentally, can be effectively made using just about any kind of digital camcorder) and see what you have to offer.

A thirty second video can be three times as effective as the traditional five page sales letter. Why? Video marketing offers consumers what they want-access to information in an easy to understand medium that requires a minimum of effort on their part.

Along with video marketing you can easily increase the power of your marketing campaign by offering pre-sales of your product. What does a pre-sale do? It offers the customer the opportunity to be guaranteed a copy of your latest product before it has even had the chance to hit the shelves-virtually speaking, of course. This takes the guesswork out of whether or a not a product is going to be available when the time comes to take an order.

More importantly, pre-sales serve to whet your buyers appetites for anything and everything that you care to give them. If you really want to punch the power of a pre-sale offer the customer a sneak peek when they place their pre-order. This can be a ten or fifteen minute clip of a video, the first chapter or two of an e-book or a simplified version of your latest software. This gives them the chance to see firsthand what you have to offer, and it takes a lot of the guesswork out of buying on the Internet.

Video marketing and pre-sales offer you a tremendous opportunity to build sales and make a profit, and the two of them working together will provide you with exactly what you need-a way to grab and keep your customers’ attention and seal the sale in no time at all.

With the explosion of streaming video on the internet, there are more and more enquiries on how to make a good video. First of all, what does the word ‘good’ mean? A ‘good’ video actually means a video that is engaging, thought provoking and persuasive at the same time. Quite a tall order, don’t you think?
If you are into online selling of products and services, the one question uppermost in your mind would be how to showcase your products to prospects and clients in a way that needs minimum effort but has maximum impact. Business promotion videos can be of different types. You could use them to explain your business model, enumerate the benefits of your product or showcase success stories through effective customer testimonials.
According to a report in The New York Times, over 75 per cent of internet viewers in the United States watched online videos on a regular basis! Video related content makes up more than half of the information on the ternet. Need further proof that people love video? YouTube! This website contains only online videos and it is the fourth most visited website in the world!
Video creates immediate rapport between the sales person and the prospect. It effectively transmits your sincerity, depth of knowledge and commitment to the program you are promoting. In the past, marketers depended heavily on text messages to get them new customers. They printed glossy magazines by cartloads, sent away newsletters written by experts and printed sales letters that cost them millions of dollars. Yet, a good percentage of the effort and money going into these marketing strategies went kaput! Brochures ended up in trash bins and sales letters were often found below coffee cups.
In case you did not know it, streaming video is the next big thing in Internet marketing. It has been hailed by internet experts and marketing gurus as the sales tool of 2008. There’s reason for that. Surveys show that streaming video reviews convert at 3-5 times the rate of text reviews. We are talking about three times the return at less than half the investment.
Will videography take over from photography as a matter of evolution? Or can the two survive side by side as individual art forms? Linguists estimate that there are about 5,000-6,000 different languages spoken in the world today, but we see in only one language: photography... or should that be videography?
Television is an extremely attractive and appealing medium. It has the power to captivate millions at once. But it is not always possible to carry a TV wherever we go. Circumstances sometimes may not allow us to reach out to a TV to watch our favourite shows. In these cases, iTV has given man an immense power to stay connected to the world with which he can catch up through his Computer itself.
