Retail Wrap-Up: The Importance of Holiday Video Marketing
The holiday season (between November and December) makes up around 20-40% of retailers’ annual sales. And thanks to advances in technology and mobile capacity, every year results in faster and easier ways to research products and shop.
Mobile video views grew 200% on Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year. Plan your holiday video marketing strategies now, it’s too big of an opportunity to procrastinate.
Holiday videos are an important tool for any company’s marketing strategy. They’re useful to connect with current clients to remind them about your product or service as well as attract new prospects in a way that reveals your company’s values and brand personality.
15-30-second-long e-commerce videos captures the highest completion rates last year with 75% of viewers finishing them. Shorter is better for product-related videos.
And remember to publish your video early enough so it can capture your audience in time. Many customers are already researching products and some have already even begun their holiday shopping.
When shoppers view an online video promoting a product, they’re almost two times more likely to purchase it. E-commerce videos undoubtedly impact sales, put them on as many product pages as possible.
