WHY IS BUDGET IMPORTANT FOR AN IMPACTFUL VIDEO MARKETING CAMPAIGN?
Video has become one of the most important elements for successful marketing in today's digital age. The combination of picture and sound has proven to be a particularly impactful method of sharing a message since the rise of television. With the advent of the Internet, video marketing has found a host of other channels through which to reach ever more precisely targeted audiences and thus achieve ever better business results.
Good video not only benefits your business, but when done well gives your audience an emotional experience. This strengthens the bond between brands and consumers, or creates new, unexpected interactions.
But the state-of-the-art video productions come at a price. And we assure you, when you've allocated your budget correctly, you'll feel that every cent pays back. In this blog post, we'll look at how to optimize your video marketing campaign budget and where it's good to spare - and where to splurge.
Quality Matters
The quality of the content is essential in creating a remarkable video. High-quality video production requires a significant investment in equipment, resources, and skilled professionals. A higher budget allows for access to better equipment, which can produce higher quality videos. This investment in quality can make a significant difference in the final product and can help your video stand out from the competition.
With the unlimited video content all around the platforms, the consumer is already trained to recognize the good quality. And in order to stand out of the crowd, your brand should always provide the best. It’s not only to keep your brand authority, but it also shows respect to your audience.
We, the Videonauts, have the key advantage of owning all our professional video production equipment. Working with us could cut significantly that cost from your budget.
Creativity Requires Resources
You’ve heard this many times: “Content is the King”. A higher budget allows for more resources to be allocated towards the creative aspects of your video production. This includes hiring creative professionals, investing in animation and special effects, and developing unique concepts that capture (and hold) the attention of your target audience. A higher budget provides more freedom to experiment with different creative approaches and develop a video that truly stands out.
So our advice on this point is: Splurge more for a good creative and content, so that you can fully unleash the potential of your brand.
Promotion and Distribution
Creating a high-quality video is just the first step in a long marketing process. Promoting and distributing the video is equally important. A higher budget allows for investment in marketing efforts, such as paid social media ads, influencer marketing, and email marketing campaigns. These efforts can help increase the reach of the video and ensure that it influences the right target audience. Without a proper budget for promotion and distribution, even the highest quality video may go unnoticed.
And here we also advice: Splurge on good promotion of your video campaign. Even the most expensive and professionally made video can sink into the media ocean if not promoted in the right way
A Pro Tip: The Unique Music is Way More Important than You Think
Have you ever seen a video advertisement, with music so powerful, that you immediately receive goosebumps? Of course you have! And you still remember it. That’s what we’re talking about.
We are all emotional and sensory creatures and react to certain pictures or sounds. We have a special relationship with music and it influences our moods. Let's do an experiment: play a horror movie and turn down the volume. You'll immediately notice that it's not nearly as scary as you think. But with the suspense of well-chosen music combined with the right footage - Bingo! The film chills you with fear.
The same principle applies to any other type of film or advertisement. But overexploited tunes and songs don't have the same effect as the original, unique music. The tailor-made music requires a serious investment. Composers, orchestras, recording studios - they're all part of the creation of your soon-to-be viral melody.
Web algorithms recognize tailor-made music and your video has a better chance of reaching a large audience when marketed. And one more thing - with your own music comes the opportunity for copyrights. This is an expense that would benefit your brand because your content becomes and remain unique.
We encourage you to spend a significant budget on author’s music in your video. The Videonauts have a team of the best professionals to create it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, managing your budget in creating a video production is fundamental. To be able to stand out in the huge media noise of our decade you simply need to invest in quality video. Give your audience impactful and original content, spend money on exceptional tailor-made music and enjoy the benefits it will bring to your brand. And remember, even the best video won't see the light of day if you don't trust experienced marketing professionals.
