2020 is quickly approaching and with it will bring a new presidential election as well as the strong potential of a recession (according to many economists). Forward thinking businesses realize that this means implementing a strong digital marketing strategy and program has never been more important. But the question is, with so many different digital marketing tactics and tools to choose from, which is best for you in the new decade?
Well, let’s take a look at some statistics before answering this question.
According to a recent study by Google, 79% of online consumers prefer watching a “Product Video” rather than reading about a Product online. 50% of consumers watch a video about a store before visiting the store and 84% have bought a product online after watching a YouTube Video Ad. According to Cisco Systems, by 2020 82% of all web traffic will be video and 1 million minutes of video will be crossing the internet every single second.
So, the data clearly suggests that Video Content Marketing is hands down the best strategy to implement within your business in 2020 (and beyond).
