YouTube is now the second largest search engine, with stunning statistics like 900 million unique visitors per month! Video marketing is growing in line with this trend, according to research by the Aberdeen Group, marketers using video in their B2B marketing strategy receive an average of 66% more leads and a 54% increase in brand awareness. Still not convinced? Then quickly read the following three reasons to use video marketing through Products4Engineers.
1. Show, don't tell
On Products4Engineers, products can be compared to each other on the basis of specifications, but these alone are not able to tell the whole story. With a good product video, the added value of your product becomes clearer and through clever use of images and sound you can really grab the viewer and perhaps even inspire them with new ideas. An image often says more than a thousand words, especially within B2B product marketing.
Take a look at the video of the Sandvik Coromant CoroMill 331, which shows step by step how the product should be used and what the possibilities are. The video seems a bit boring and long at first, but offers great added value for people who are actually interested in the CoroMill 331.

2. Better informed customers
Every marketer wants customers who know what they want. Unfortunately, the reality within B2B marketing shows that this if often not the case. Many customers run into certain problems, but they don’t know how to solve it and which problems or services can help them with it. With text alone, it is very difficult to convey how your product can solve customer problems, but video marketing can help enormously. Make sure that all videos about former projects and associated possibilities are on Products4Engineers, so that the visitors of your page understand better what purpose your products can be used for, and why they should become your customer! A good example of a quality video mix is Onkenhout & Onkenhout.
