‍

Why are videos vital for a SaaS marketing campaign?

‍

SaaS marketers find videos to be a powerful part of their marketing toolkit. Here are some essential points that shall help you gain a perspective.

‍

• Videos are an effective medium for delivering educational content. The value and features that your SaaS provides need to be explained clearly and concisely. Besides a direct one to one meeting, videos are a great medium that will help you deliver your value message clearly.

‍

• YouTube has become the 2nd largest search engine in the world. Adding videos to your portfolio helps gain visibility on the net. Not only that, but Google also gives a better ranking to sites with videos.

‍

• 4 in 5 people surveyed said digital video helps them learn new things. Your audience prefers to learn using video over text.

‍

• Video allows you to humanize your brand/service. Especially in the SaaS field, where everything is technical, you can use videos to make your brand more approachable. It can be achieved by using a calm and friendly voice tone, presenting real people, or adding a sense of humour.

‍

• Showcasing your SaaS offering may be challenging. Words or static graphics may not convey the message simply yet comprehensively. Videos can present difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way by breaking down your service or product in layman’s terms.

‍

• Videos are great tools to tell stories. Strong visuals can connect with an audience faster, building an emotional bond. This is something words cannot do alone.

‍

• Another significant aspect of using the videos in your campaign is that you can get plenty of data by tracking your video. It gives you access to the most important metrics: engagement rate, play rate, view count, and click-through rate (CTR). Thanks to this, you can see what is working best and where is the room for improvement.
