video marketing
16th February 2023

As your homepage is usually the first page of your website that your prospective clients/customers will see, it’s important for you to make a lasting impression. That’s why you should invest some time into it, because doing so will allow you to communicate your values, expertise, and brand credibility. One great way to achieve this is with a video banner. If this is something you’re considering, here are some of the reasons why investing in video banner will be great for your business.

Mesmerise Consumers

A creative banner, such as a video or animation, is great for captivating your audience and creating a fantastic first impression. It will really showcase your brand in a visually appealing way, by creating a platform that allows you to share so much more information in a given space on your website. People tend to process information better when it is displayed in a visual way, so a video banner is a way to enthral people and leave them wanting more.

Appeal to Mobile Users

People don’t want to trawl through bulky content and hefty product descriptions to get the answers they need, especially when they’re on the go and using their mobile, so video marketing can really help convert even the laziest of consumers. In fact, mobile users love watching videos; the two go hand in hand.

Impress Google

Another reason why you should consider investing in a video banner is because it’s great for SEO. When users spend time on your site watching a video, Google and other search engines believe that your website has good content, and they are therefore more likely to rank you in the search engine results page (SERP).

Video is also great for increasing the number of backlinks referring your domain, because people are more likely to share visually appealing content on their own site. As well as time spent on site, backlinks are another crucial metric for SEO.

Encourage Social Shares

In addition to encouraging backlinks, video marketing can help to increase shares on various social media platforms, which can then increase traffic to your website. With that said, it’s no wonder that video is so easy to spread across the globe, allowing you to reach a wider audience.

So, if you’re interested in creating an eye-catching banner for your website, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Doing so will allow you to put your best foot forward, create a great first impression and improve your website’s overall performance, so it’s a fantastic investment.
