In this Marketing with Impact session, we look at a question I get asked often… 

What is the most effective use of my time for marketing my business? 

It’s an excellent question that keeps evolving with time. For marketing success in 2023 and beyond, the answer is: short form video.

Short-form video is rapidly gaining popularity due to its high engagement, effectiveness, and ability to connect with audiences and drive results, and it is easy to create.

 

Why Short Form Video is King

There are many reasons why short form video is the most impactful marketing strategy right now. 

  • Attention Spans: In today’s world, people have shorter attention spans than ever before. Short form videos are ideal for capturing attention and delivering your message quickly and effectively.
  • Engagement: Short form videos are highly engaging, and they’re more likely to be watched and shared than other types of content.
  • Reach: Short form videos can be shared across a wide range of platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. This gives you the potential to reach a large and diverse audience.
  • Versatility: Short form videos can be used for a variety of purposes, including product demos, customer testimonials, explainer videos, and brand storytelling.

Tips for Creating Effective Short Form Videos

  • Keep it short: Aim for videos that are under 90 seconds long.
  • Have a clear message: What do you want your viewers to know or do after watching your video?
  • Use strong visuals: Make sure your videos are visually appealing and attention-grabbing.
  • Add a call to action: Tell your viewers what you want them to do after watching your video.
