Lights, Camera, FCM: The Epic Need for a Video Content Strategy for Small to Medium Sized Businesses
BY MIKE DANIEL / MAY 11, 2023
Hey there, fellow business enthusiasts! Today, we're going to embark on a rollicking journey into the world of video content strategy for small to medium sized businesses. And trust me, it's going to be one hilarious ride! So, buckle up your seatbelts, grab some popcorn, and let's roll!
Why Have a Video Content Strategy, You Ask?
Oh, you might think, "Hey Mike, why do I need to create videos? I'm just a small to medium sized business! Can't I stick to good ol' text and pictures?" Well, my friends, in this fast-paced digital world, videos are like the action-packed, heart-thumping blockbuster movies of the content realm! They capture attention, evoke emotions, and keep your audience glued to the screen!
Imagine this: you walk into a cinema, expecting an epic adventure, but all they show you are static images and boring text. You'd probably start dozing off, right? The same goes for your audience – they crave excitement and engagement! With a video content strategy, you can bring your brand story to life, leaving a lasting impression on your customers.
Comedy + Creativity = Success
Now, let's spill some creativity sauce on this blog post. *Ding!* It's a fact that people love a good laugh, even in the business world. Incorporating humor into your videos can work like magic! Remember those classic blooper reels after movies? Well, don't worry; we won't include any of my on-set bloopers here (they're embarrassing).
Humor creates a connection, a shared moment of joy with your audience. So, throw in some quirky scripts, funny animations, or even a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your team cracking jokes while working (yes, we do that at FCM). The secret ingredient to a charming video content strategy is to be authentic and relatable – people appreciate seeing the human side of your business.
Your Brand – The Superstar!
Lights, camera, and... action! Your brand is the superstar of the show! By crafting captivating videos, you can showcase your products or services in the spotlight they deserve. Tell a compelling story that tugs at heartstrings, and soon you'll see your audience forming a line outside your digital box office!
And here's a tip: don't make your videos too salesy! Nobody likes a pushy salesman. Instead, blend in some storytelling that highlights how your business adds value to people's lives. Show them how your product or service solves their problems or adds a dash of excitement to their day. Be the hero of their story!
The Red Carpet to Success: Video Platforms
Now that you've got your blockbuster videos ready, it's time for the glitz and glamour – distribution! Pick the right red carpet for your videos to shine. Social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are the A-listers when it comes to showcasing your cinematic creations.
Leverage these platforms to reach a wider audience and go viral (in a good way, not like a sneezing panda). Engage with your viewers, respond to comments, and spark conversations. Trust me; your audience will be cheering for an encore!
