It’s THE STRATEGY.
We mean, obviously, along with the other elements. But, you know what we mean, right? Right.

Well, none of that and a bit of everything.
How To Begin With Video Marketing in 2021?
Before we reach for the ‘why’, let’s understand the ‘how’.
Just deciding to move ahead with the decision of having a video marketing strategy is just a start. You’ve got to plan way ahead.
At The Buzz, we consult our partners and prospective businesses on this small method, when they’ve got to inculcate videos in their marketing arsenal. This three-step process being:
- Begin
- Improve
- Keep on going
Doesn’t seem too complex when you look at it. But, that’s what most of the businesses fail to do out there. When you’re incorporating videos into your strategies, you need to keep on trying and testing. Failing to do that, you’re better without investing in it. (Buzz’s truth).

Connect With Your Audience, Better.
How many times has it been, when you see a brand explaining its message in an organic, non-sales-y manner through a video, you stop scrolling just to see what they’ve got to say?
Videos tend to have that scroll-stopping element attached to them. Communicating your message through a video, in a relatable manner makes it more human and easy to connect with. Moreover, using user-generated content, and putting a face on your brand’s digital presence, makes it easier to trust and more loyal.
In the case of user-generated content or influencer content, you don’t need to have a high-budget shoot lined up. In many cases, it’s the candid mobile made videos that do the wonder and make it more relatable to the consumer.

Marketers who have incorporated videos in their marketing campaigns have experienced 34% higher conversion rates. Need we say more?
So, the next time you need to run a campaign for your upcoming launch, offer or just a friendly update, video’s the way to go for you. -
Lesser Time, More Context
When was the last time you opened Instagram, and go on an endless reel watching spree? Videos are addictive. And the shorter ones even more, if you’ve got the hook right.
What we are trying to convey is, videos help you convey more in less. You don’t need a page long product description to explain your product. A use-case video might just do the job in seconds. Therefore, the point is- get the hook right, and ace the short video game.
