Weekly Content Marketing Trends July 27th

Content marketing is an art that transforms itself depending on which trends direct the current. If that's the case, then, as a content marketer, you must be an artist who can always ride the rapid tides and adapt to the changing currents. This week let's check out one of the leading forms of content marketing – video marketing.

Since Benjamin Franklin created the first in-house publication through Poor Richard's Almanack, things have changed in the content marketing landscape. Print advertising was the norm in putting out one's brand back then. Nowadays, it's all about moving pictures, as 86% of businesses use video as a marketing tool. Here are some things to note as we live in the digital era of content marketing.

Make the Most Out of Your Ride on the Viral Train

Viral videos are like mushrooms that sprout out of nowhere. Therefore, content marketers must always be on their toes so they won't sleep on what's currently hot. It's a blink, and you'll miss kind of thing. Video marketing based on fads is a bit tricky because it is time constricted, but it is definitely promising.

In 2021, one-third of Facebook’s users purchased on the platform, which is projected to increase over the next few years. Given the social nature of the platform, a quick share with one's friends is not far from happening. Thus, if the videos that you publish are shared by the dozens, it will surely rake in customers who want to get in on what's hot. The million-dollar question now is, how will you make videos that go viral?

Several years ago, videos went viral overnight through sheer luck, but nowadays, strategic planning can earn you the same results. Here are some quick tips from SendPulse on how to reach that goal:

  • Meme away. Your extensive knowledge of memes may finally be helpful as videos that capitalize on memes typically turn heads on social media.
  • Make it short but sweet. You may only need 20 seconds for your claim to fame, as most netizens like to consume bite-sized content.
  • Capture the viewers' hearts, not just their attention. Capitalizing on emotional topics relatable to your audience can make your content more personal.
  • Practice the subtle art of not giving customers in-your-face advertising. Plan the plot of your videos well so you can subtly insert your product.
  • Get influencers who can influence. It is best to pick a celebrity who can bring out the best in your brand.

Influencing Market Share through Influencers

93% of businesses gain a new client after sharing a video on social media. Statistics show that purchase behavior continues to increase on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. These social media sites are where influencers thrive.

Therefore, video marketing must capitalize on these influencers to convert viewers' idle video consumption habits into profitable consumer action. To achieve such, here are some reminders that you may want to take note of:

  • Make sure to consider the return of investment above everything else by ensuring that you are not overspending on pure clout. 17% of companies spend over half their marketing budget on influencers. Despite such a budget being considerably big, 89% say ROI from influencer marketing is comparable to or better than other marketing channels.
  • Choose an influencer who can carry your brand's values to your target audience and hopefully more people.
  • Aside from views, it is essential to check an influencer's level of engagement as that is the accurate measure of whether purchasing action can be expected. Consistently measure your key metrics through the platform embedded tools provided by various social media sites or third-party apps.
  • Study an influencer's demographic first to know whether you're putting out your brand to the right people. Breaking down an influencer's followers and their interactions can show what type of audience your chosen personality has.
  • Choose consistency over hype since loyal customers are expected more from fans than devoted followers of influencers.
  • Keep your eyes peeled if an influencer uses bots, as those viewers are guaranteed not to purchase anything. One of the easiest ways to spot bots is by checking the comment-to-like ratio. Likes are easy to purchase, but comments can be more expensive. Also, comments made by bots often sound quite “spammy.”

The Right Tools of the Trade

Wyzowl's study shows that 16% of non-video marketers don't use video as they don't know where to start. Indeed, video creation and editing is not an easy task, but through technology, people have started to get the hang of it. 46% of first-time video marketers even say that video has become easier to create in-house.

In terms of video marketing, short burst content is what's currently on trend. Therefore, here are some of the best video editing software to use if you want to produce quality short videos that pop.

  • Animoto

Animoto promises that no experience is necessary to create and share videos, as making one only involves a few drag-and-drop actions here and there. With highly customizable templates, users are promised that they can make unique and professional-looking videos.

  • Soundstripe

Aside from visuals, sound is essential in video marketing. A creator's worst nightmare is for their content to be muted because of copyright claims. Dodge copyright claims with Soundstripe's exceptional royalty-free music. Browse 8,000+ songs composed by Grammy-winning artists and see what fits your brand the most. Also, you can expect this software to work seamlessly through app integrations.

  • Magisto

If you are struggling with either time or skills in editing videos, then Magisto might be for you. This software offers end-to-end video marketing powered by A.I., which means you only need to upload your pictures, and artificial intelligence will work for you by adding sound effects and filters.
