Successful video marketing:
advantages and possible applications
Videos offer the opportunity to convey content in a way that reaches people on an emotional level. Companies can use video marketing to address their target groups in a targeted manner and convey messages clearly, as the combination of moving images and sound leaves a lasting impression.
What is video marketing?
The term video marketing refers to the targeted use of videos and moving images to advertise products, services or your own brand. It is used to implement advertising and communication goals and has become a central component of modern online marketing. Companies use a wide variety of video formats to convey their messages creatively and effectively. These include product videos, explanatory videos, image films, recruiting films, webinars and livestreams. These diverse options make video marketing an effective and versatile tool for attracting the attention of the target group and making a lasting impression.
Advantages of video marketing
Video marketing offers numerous advantages and is particularly convincing due to its emotional appeal. Compared to text, videos are easier to consume and often have an entertaining effect on viewers. In addition, more information can be conveyed in a short space of time, meaning that the message reaches the target group more quickly. Storytelling and visually appealing content helps viewers remember what they have seen for longer. In addition, authentic and approachable content offers viewers the opportunity to identify better with the brand.
Video marketing can also help to improve engagement and therefore SEO rankings. Videos attract more attention and can ensure that viewers stay longer on a website. Search engines, such as Google, see this increased dwell time as a positive factor and rank the website higher in search results as it is perceived as particularly valuable to users.
Possible applications for video marketing
Videos can be used in marketing on a wide variety of platforms and campaigns. Although the integration of videos on the website is a tried and tested means of attracting the attention of viewers, many other possible applications can also be used to specifically address different target groups. In addition to social media, direct customer contact or the use of email marketing are also effective channels for integrating videos into the communication strategy.
Social media
Social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook or video platforms such as TikTok and YouTube make it possible to acquire new customers through targeted content and advertisements. Interaction with users is particularly important here, as they can like, comment on or share the content. This opportunity for direct interaction makes the company approachable and strengthens customer loyalty in the long term.
On professional platforms such as LinkedIn or Xing, on the other hand, the focus is more on a professional and positive presentation of the company. Videos can be used to attract potential new employees or business customers. An appealing corporate video can thus increase the company's level of awareness and position the company as an attractive employer or business partner.

Online and email marketing
Online and email marketing also offer numerous opportunities to use videos effectively. Email is still one of the most frequently used means of communication and is therefore a particularly effective channel for video marketing. For example, companies can link directly to videos in their newsletters or even integrate them into the emails. Placing an animated GIF in emails or newsletters also attracts the attention of recipients, is memorable and allows them to quickly and directly understand the content.
Direct contact with customers
In direct customer contact, for example at the point of sale (POS), at seminars, workshops or trade fairs, videos also have an impact. They address the target group directly on site and lighten the atmosphere. In these contexts, videos are often more interesting and entertaining than traditional presentations and offer a dynamic way of conveying the company's message.
There is also the option of using moving images in outdoor advertising, in digital out-of-home (DOOH). Videos can be shown on large advertising screens in pedestrian zones, train stations or other public places. This form of video marketing makes it possible to address a broad target group in public spaces and attract their attention in everyday situations.
