10 Tips to MaximizeYour New Online Marketing Video
Now you have created your new marketing video, what do you do with it? Here is a list of my ideas on how to maximize your business video:
- Convert the video to the following digital formats and in a variety of sizes:
- FLV – Flash video format for web posting
- WMV – Windows media format for PowerPoint Presentations
- MP4 – for iPhone and Mac applications
- H.264 – High Definition format for Presentations
- MOV – for your Mac applications
Your video production vendor should provide you with these formats. Hopefully you are not being delivered a single video file. If your video vendor will not provide the above formats, request the final .mov or .avi file and purchase video conversion software (We use Sorenson Squeeze) to convert your video to the above formats.
- Upload your video to your website. Put a link to the video on your home page.
- Create a special landing page with your online video for Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns
- Upload your video to YouTube. Create a YouTube account and a YouTube channel for your company. Use YouTube as part of your SEO and social media strategy. You can see the Xcelus Studio channel at: http://www.youtube.com/xcelusstudios
