Video Marketing is no rocket science, its as simple as the name suggests : using videos for marketing your products, services and increasing brand awareness. However, following a few best practices can go a long way in maximizing your returns from video marketing campaigns :

1. Keep the videos short & crisp. Shorter videos appeal to the short attention span of the audience and have higher conversions. It is important to follow the ideal length for each platform : Facebook – approx. 1 minute, YouTube – about 2 minutes Twitter – no longer than 30 seconds, Instagram – 25 to 30 seconds
2. One video should focus on one topic only. Be clear, concise & straight forward so that the message is clear to the viewers
3. CTA at the end of the video is a must
4. Adding subtitles to your video makes it easier for the viewers to understand the message if they are viewing it on a computer or device with no sound
