Developing a Video Content Strategy
When developing a video content strategy, or any marketing strategy, you should start with more questions than answers.
Questions to Assist in Video Content Development
- What inventory do you already have to use? Which videos already exist and how can they be utilized? Catalog, tag, and store all historical (and new) video assets in a central video marketing platform.
- What are the objectives of this video campaign? Does each video have a specific purpose?
- Who is the audience? How does the business speak to them? Consider what content initiatives have already been a success and if they deserve video counterparts. Which material failed? Why? Consider if video might be a better format for that message.
- What is the Call-to-Action? Many videos and persuasive content end with a question. A topic to think on after the presentation of information. The desired action is going to differ significantly depending on which lifecycle stage the video addresses. As we enter conversion and advocacy, the call-to-action may be much more direct.
