Is Video Better at Driving Traffic or Closing Sales? (Ep. 50)

If you’re new to video marketing, you might think that going viral is the epitome of success for a business video. When you see videos from companies like Dollar Shave Club or GoPro get millions of views, it’s easy to think that views are the best measure of effectiveness, when it should always be ROI.  

Don’t get me wrong. Video can be great for driving traffic, but most marketers fail to recognize one key ingredient: you need a sizable audience for a traffic-based strategy to work. Either that, or a big advertising budget.

That’s why we tend to steer our clients with small audiences toward videos that optimize their sales funnel.

But determining if your business should use video to drive traffic or close sales will depend on your needs and business goals.

To help you understand how you should be using video marketing, I’ve brought Marcus into the studio to discuss how effective video is at driving traffic and closing sales. You won’t want to miss this episode of Video Marketing Mastery!
