Video spending is projected to reach $5.4 billion in 2016, with video ads comprising 35% of total
online ad spending. Corporate video advertisements, however, are the just the tip of the
proverbial marketing iceberg.

process!).

Sales PresentationsMany companies, particularly smaller firms or startups, cannot afford a team of experienced sales professionals to move products and services. A professional sales presentation video can deliver a consistent sales message to multiple prospects much less expensively than in-person sales pitches.
And video included in email has been shown to increase click-through rates by more than 96% (Implix Email Marketing Trends Survey).

Virtual Tours
Professionals who market travel destinations, higher education, and real estate are among the growing number of marketers seizing the power of virtual video tours like never before. Video has the power to show prospects your product and propel them to your door in unprecedented numbers. This could be one of the reasons consumer usage of View on Demand (VoD) video is expected to double by 2019.

Product Demonstrations
Motion graphics, screen captures and voice narration all can be combined to create powerful product video presentations. Technical products are particularly good candidates for demonstration videos.
Not convinced? Internet Retailer reports that people who view product videos are 85% more likely to buy than people who do not. If you’re in the B2B space, you’ll be interested to know that 50% of executives visit the marketer’s website after viewing a product video.

Promotional Videos
Sending out a press release to promote an industry product event? Sure, but without video you probably won’t generate much buzz.
That’s probably why 96% of B2B organizations use video in some capacity in their marketing campaigns, of which 73% report positive ROI results.

TrainingGrabbing and holding attention is key to effective training. Video far surpasses bland PowerPoint presentations, or worse, dry training manuals, as a means of engaging employees or customers who need to learn product information or company policies.
We live in a digital and highly visual age, with one-third of online activity spent watching video. Maximize this power for training that delivers.

Recruitment
Recruiting star performers is hard work, especially if you’re targeting younger people. Video can help tell your company’s story from the perspective of a prospective employee.
Effective videos greatly improve your chances of landing your star recruits. It only makes sense: enjoyment of video increases purchase intent by 97% and brand association by 139%.

Corporate video is a powerful marketing tool and will become even more so in the future.
