Multimedia has become a “must-have” in just about any marketing mix. It captures attention, fosters understanding, and motivates action. Add in its trackability and longevity via social media and you’ll understand that ROI is in its DNA.
In October of 2008, YouTube became the #2 search engine behind Google (Hitwise). This signifies the ascendance of multimedia not only as entertainment, but also increasingly as the preferred search medium. Adding multimedia to your marketing efforts in order to expand your digital footprint and make your company, products and services visible on the digital front lines simply makes sound business sense. Through purposeful distribution and tagging of your multimedia pieces, we can help you reach more customers in more places.
As prospects find your videos in more locations, they’re able to share them with greater ease. The viral aspect of multimedia content is undeniable. By including company information and URLs in the body of your multimedia content, viewers will always have a traceable path back to you…no matter where your videos roam.
Multimedia also offers a great way to distinguish your online banner ads. Research indicates that online advertising featuring integrated video produces increased viewership and response, consistently outperforming static or basic animated banners.
Finally, the increasing prominence of universal search results on Google, Yahoo! and Bing puts multimedia content in the search spotlight. By dovetailing your multimedia development with your keyword-rich search marketing efforts, you can increase the relevancy of your pages, drive more traffic to your web site and extend the time people stay on your site. All trackable via your analytics tools and proving the irrefutable value that multimedia has as the core of your inbound marketing initiatives.
