Keys to video distribution for sales

We know that video is a good sales tool, but not in itself. It will be if we use the right strategy for its distribution and landing on the customer throughout the entire sales funnel.The world's most popular video platform, YouTube, has 2.3 billion users. Already in February 2020, more than 500 hours of video were uploaded every minute of every day.If we could leverage this data to our advantage, we would get incredible results.Let's look at some keys to anchoring a robust strategy using video as an innovative business tool.

Video distribution should be the central part of a video sales strategy if we want to deliver a valuable prospecting message.

Let’s take advantage of the potential of video as a sales tool to increase our conversion rate.

What we talk about when we talk about video distribution

Video distribution is the backbone of a marketing and sales strategy based on audiovisual content because it is the one that deals with where we are going to publish our content, so that our target audience can see it, at the most opportune time.

I can give you a very clear example using Tik Tok, the interactive platform where they upload videos very close to the users. In short, we will not dare to upload a complex and very technical webinar on software sales in this application. The reason is that the platform and the content do not fit.

The same applies to sales

When planning a video distribution strategy, it is useful to think in terms of the concept of “marketing and sales mix”, which allows you to segment videos aimed at potential customers linked by a common parameter such as:

– Geographical location

– Purchasing preference

– Average purchase value

Why is video distribution important?

Even the most attractive content will go unnoticed if we do not apply a proper distribution technique. This does not only happen with videos, it happens with any content.

Audiovisual content is more attractive for many reasons, among them:

– Video marketing offers 600 times more ROI than the traditional marketing and print model combined.
