Bottom Line

In this rapidly evolving digital age where people’s minds are full of content, it can be hard to capture their attention with average content that consists only of text and a few images. Providing customers with high-quality content that respects their time and attention, is also a part of a great customer service experience.

Be it videos, infographics, or GIFs, modern marketers are using various visual content types to create unique and engaging content to grab people’s dwindling attention.

And as per the above stats, video is definitely one of the best visual content marketers should use in their content marketing strategy. There is no doubt that creating a video requires more effort and resources than other visual content, but as the saying goes “the more you pay, the more it is worth.”

The world is full of text-only emails, boring home pages, and dry landing pages. Video is the promised land, offering a clearer, richer, and more engaging path to learn all about your product and how it can benefit your customers.
