SHORT VIDEOS RULE: THAT’S THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

YouTube Shorts may be among marketers’ best bets in the long run. Delivering useful information in a fast 15 to 60 seconds, YouTube Shorts provide marketers a simple way to present mini videos to the channel’s enormous user base. Launched just three years ago, Shorts’ influence now rivals those of longer-standing short-form video forums TikTok and Instagram Reels. Versatile YouTube Shorts can be created with audio as well as text. Simply put, Shorts let marketers reach audiences with avidly viewed, bite-sized information targeted to their interests. 

We tune in to the YouTube channel to reveal why smart marketers now prioritize videos, and how to gain every bit of impact out of YouTube’s potential.

Adding captions to YouTube videos is trending for several reasons, not the least of which is that videos with captions keep viewers engaged, and help them find information they’ve searched for within videos.

CREATE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES ON YOUTUBE WITH VIRTUAL REALITY

Every marketer seeks to master better ways of engaging with customers, particularly younger customers cementing brand loyalties. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) videos enable brands to offer immersive experiences that capture younger, tech-savvy audiences. VR/AR can be used to let viewers interact with products, attend live events like product launches and how-to seminars and take behind-the-scenes, 360-degree tours of company headquarters or plants. In short, VR/AR videos on YouTube deliver a fascinating new way to present brand stories to vital audiences.

When it comes to YouTube marketing, there are several best practices to keep in mind. Let’s delve deeper into some more tested YouTube marketing strategies.

  • Optimization essential. With YouTube videos proliferating, marketers must optimize their videos to rank higher. Determine the words and phrases your audience searches for most, then incorporate them in your title, video description and video tags.  
  •  
  • Secure social commerce. Destined to reach $1.2 trillion in two years, social commerce remains an opportunity not to be missed. Last year’s partnership between YouTube and Shopify lets marketers turn influencer marketing and ad targeting into social riches.
  •  
  • Analyze, improve. YouTube Studio provides built-in reports on how well your brand’s YouTube campaign succeeds. These analytics help you pinpoint top-performing videos, how long viewers watch, click-through rates and more.
