Specifically, what kind of content can you create so that your video marketing campaigns never let you down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These 21 most engaging types of video content are a great place to start and will never let you down when combined with a skillfully crafted strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Brand Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of your marketing funnel, awareness is the most important goal. Your ideal audience has no clue about you and will not take it well if you try to make them purchase your product\/service immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a situation, your best bet would be to opt for <strong>brand videos<\/strong> type of video content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand videos are short videos, more like films, that help you in forging an early connection with your target audience by introducing your brand\u2019s personality to them. They use audio, visuals, and a storytelling format to convey your core values, journey, and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/vidico.com\/news\/a-quick-guide-on-how-to-make-a-product-demo-video\/\">brand videos<\/a>, the most important aim is to touch the hearts of your target audience so that they do not forget you. You are not marketing to them by talking about your offering. Instead, you are making a <em>friendly introduction to your brand<\/em> so that they feel closer to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An amazing example of a brand video that would warm anyone\u2019s heart is the one by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Samsung Electronics<\/a>. As a global leader in the sphere of technology, the video talks about the brand\u2019s aim to uplift the world technologically by empowering educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds a lot more friendly than a simple video about their products, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Educational Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Educational videos are another fantastic types of video content through which you can impress your target audience at the top of your marketing funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes a relationship where only one person keeps giving everything. The relationship between brands and their consumers is no different\u2014 if you want your target audience to purchase from you, you need to provide them with more than just your product\/service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, with so many similar options available in the market, why should a consumer choose you and not your competitor? The answer is simple\u2014 it is about the relationship you build with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With educational videos, you gain your target audience\u2019s trust. You show them that you are willing to help them simply because <em>they matter<\/em>. Whether it is how-to videos, detailed guides, or tips and tricks\u2014 educational videos are also the best way to show off your expertise in your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify\u2019s booming YouTube channel stands testimonial of the power of educational videos. With 245K subscribers that grow day by day, these videos provide the brand with amazing exposure to a confused audience just looking for help. It also wins the people\u2019s trust by providing them with useful resources simply for the sake of helping them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Animation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are nervous about the costs associated with using videos for mastering the top of your marketing funnel, fear not! You do not need to have expensive equipment or professional actors to shoot an amazing marketing video. A computer with decent animation software is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Animated videos are a very catchy yet pocket-friendly type of video content to grab people\u2019s attention. They provide you with infinite creative freedom and can be created at a low cost either by yourself or by a good video editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, you have tons of options available to enchant your target audience. Whether you use 2D animation, 3D animation, or whiteboards\u2014 a skillfully made animated video will always catch your target audience\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One brilliant example of a magnetic animated marketing video that mesmerized its audience is the one by Cisco. With bright colors and eye-pleasing animations, the video conveys a concept as complex as healthcare security solutions with great simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Vlogs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The past few years have seen an unreal amount of internet users going crazy about consuming video content. In fact, YouTube constitutes <a href=\"https:\/\/explain.ninja\/blog\/20-video-marketing-statistics-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">close to 1\/3rd of all the internet users<\/a> in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such an ecosystem, vlogs are one form of video content that has thrived the most. With <a href=\"https:\/\/vloggingpro.com\/vlogging-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">44% of the internet users<\/a> watching them every single month, vlogs are one of the most popular types of video content that a business can tap into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent example of a brand using vlogs for marketing purposes would be the YouTube channel run by Latasha James, Founder of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesandpark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">James + Park<\/a>. Known for its in-depth content about freelancing and social media marketing, the channel also gives viewers a chance to look at the internet personality\u2019s buzzing life as a hotshot freelance marketer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/accounts.animaker.com\/register\/show\/?trackId=c2hvdy1lbwfpbc1tyxjrzxrpbmc&amp;utm_source=show&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Show for Free!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Social Share Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While all videos can be shared on social media platforms, not all videos are created for the purpose of social sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social sharing<\/strong> is the practice of sharing content across websites and social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. It can be triggered by content that is humorous, controversial, thought-provoking, or capable of evoking a strong emotional reaction in any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With social sharing videos, your main aim is to tap into your target audience in the social media setting so that they go forward and share your videos more. In this way, you would receive free marketing from your ideal customers for no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect example of a ridiculously viral social share video by a brand would be that of Reebok. The brand\u2019s <em>25,915 Days<\/em> video delivered a powerful message about the finiteness of human life and the need for making the best of each day, touching the hearts of many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. 360\u00b0 Experience Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the types of video content discussed so far are amazing for the top-of-the-funnel marketing strategy, what do you do when your leads become warmer? One way to go would be to try 360\u00b0 experience videos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual Reality (VR)<\/strong>, known for massively tickling the viewer\u2019s senses with great sensory details, is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. People are falling in love with the realistic experience it provides and VR equipment\u2019s sales have been predicted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/653390\/worldwide-virtual-and-augmented-reality-headset-shipments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">to rise to 30 million sets per year<\/a> by 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming close to our present understanding of VR, 360\u00b0 experience videos are an amazing way of greatly involving your leads into your brand and making a lasting impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of a brand that made the right use of 360\u00b0 experience videos would be Expedia. Their promotional video about Australian tourism mesmerizes its viewers with breathtaking visuals presented in the 360\u00b0 mode and creates a burning longing to visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Video Emails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know what is another sizzling hot marketing practice apart from video marketing? Email marketing, of course! Clearly, combining the two can result in a potent marketing tactic with far-reaching results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no doubt that the modern consumer adores videos. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/state-of-video-marketing-new-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hubspot\u2019s findings<\/a> have made it amply clear\u2014 9 out of 10 consumers would love to see more videos from brands in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When videos are taken by such a storm, is it any surprise that they are a boon to your email marketing efforts too? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkaroundvideos.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/video-in-the-subject-line-increases-open-and-click-through-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Merely adding the word \u2018video\u2019 to your email\u2019s subject line <\/a>can boost your emails\u2019 opening rate by 19%, improve click-through rates by 65%, and reduce unsubscribes by 26%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An amazing example of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getshow.io\/video-email-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">video email marketing<\/a> done right would be that of Roota Mittal\u2019s. With the right words and amazing videos, the entrepreneur dominates the freelancing education space in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Behind-the-Scenes Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MOFU leads know about your brand at a superficial level already. However, they are not <em>there<\/em> yet when it comes to converting into sales. An excellent way of connecting with such an audience would be to establish a more intimate connection by providing them with behind-the-scenes footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a brand that is perfect is amazing, no doubt. Yet, it is the little human touches that make a brand special and personal to its audience. Behind-the-scenes videos serve exactly that purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of videos are so powerful that Victoria Secret\u2019s YouTube channel, which had initially faced some amount of backlash because of insensitive content, has actually grown to close to 2 million subscribers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. User-Generated Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, your leads are seeing and hearing all about your brand everywhere. They are, likely, also exploring more about your offering so that they can come to a decision soon. Do you know what can give you a tremendous advantage during this situation? The answer is user-generated videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>User-generated videos are much more than your brand talking about itself. These videos show your existing customers and their experiences speaking for your brand. When used properly, user-generated videos can paint a glorious \u2018after\u2019 picture and push your leads right to the bottom of the marketing funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not take a look at this through GoPro\u2019s YouTube channel? The camera brand loves to share video content sent in by its users of them recording their epic adventures. This way leads who are considering making a purchase can see real-life customers enjoying the brand\u2019s products and feel more encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Testimonials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While testimonials are also user-generated video content, they deserve a special mention. This is because the benefits of testimonials are many and these form one of the most fundamental types of video content you can use for your middle-of-the-funnel strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Testimonials generate social proof for your product\/service. They solidify the authenticity of your claims and create exclusivity. When a warm lead comes across testimonials of your offering and realizes the impact it has created on real-life individuals, they are much more likely to make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple yet impactful example of video testimonials would be the one by Zoom that captures the positive experiences with the platform during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/accounts.animaker.com\/register\/show\/?trackId=c2hvdy1lbwfpbc1tyxjrzxrpbmc&amp;utm_source=show&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Show for Free!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11. Interviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interviews are a unique type of video content that incorporates users without being generated by them. To put it in the simplest terms, interviews are nothing more than detailed testimonials led through a series of questions and answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way in which these are completely different from testimonials is the amount of depth they provide. While testimonials are relatively short, interviews have a lot more real estate to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With interviews, you can also incorporate your company\u2019s point of view with your customer\u2019s point of view. This way, the video can serve the dual purpose of acting as social proof and showing your brand\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way in which interview videos shine is by allowing you to bring in well-known personalities and public figures who inspire your target audience. This allows you to tap into their emotions and increase their confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful example of a video interview is Anthropologie\u2019s interview with Jacquelyn Jablonski which crossed over 10,000 views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12. Video Announcements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Video announcements<\/strong>, more commonly known as <strong>Video Public Service Announcements (Video PSAs)<\/strong>, are videos that tie your brand up with public service announcements to promote your products\/services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These public service announcements usually focus on social issues that people feel strongly about. The involvement of such strong emotions in your marketing efforts guarantees that you will get some amount of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most brands use such videos to spread popularly accepted messages, others have also been known to use them for spreading controversy for the sake of marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French coffee brand Couleur Caf\u00e9 is one of the best examples of video PSA done right\u2014 it takes up an issue as grave as breast cancer, turns it into a quirky video, and spreads the important message of raising awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13. Product Demonstration Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Product demonstration videos are a gift to your warm leads hanging around in the middle of your marketing funnel. These are the people whose curiosity has been piqued but who have not made up their minds yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a situation, educating them in detail about your product, or in particular, how to use it, can go a long way in establishing trust and transparency. These videos are also perfect for painting an \u2018after\u2019 picture where your product has solved the ideal customer\u2019s pain points successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airtable\u2019s basic product demonstration video called <em>Meet Airtable<\/em> is the most effortless product demo video out there and provides much to be inspired by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>14. Case Studies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Case studies make up the simplest and easiest way in which you can build your ideal customer\u2019s trust. Create them in the video format and you will have a complete winner that will drive your conversion rate crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever brought an immense change in a past or present customer\u2019s life? Analyze what you did, how it helped them, and the difference it made. Combine it all in a video format and you have the perfect case study ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The greatest advantage of case studies videos is that they inform your leads about how you bring results without boring them. One such example of a video case study is the one by Room 214 about Rapt Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15. Company Culture Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a marketer working tirelessly towards promoting your product\/service, you must know that your brand is more than just an offering. It is made up of many different people who put in relentless effort to help your ideal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revealing this human side of your company can be one of the best things you do for your brand. It exposes your leads to the immense amount of effort you are putting in for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a company culture video can contain behind-the-scenes footage, interview clips of employees, or simply pranks, birthday parties, and achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple\u2019s employee recruitment video is a very heartwarming example of a company culture video that gives us a sneak peek inside the tech giant\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/accounts.animaker.com\/register\/show\/?trackId=c2hvdy1lbwfpbc1tyxjrzxrpbmc&amp;utm_source=show&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Show for Free!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>16. Webinars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering how videos are the most engaging form of content out there, there should be no surprise that webinars are the perfect choice for diving deep into your product\/service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/motionbox.io\/blog\/why-you-need-video-content\">biggest advantage of video content<\/a> of any form is that you have a lot of real estate. Since the audience has a lower likelihood of getting bored, you can afford to incorporate more information without losing their trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With webinars, you can inform leads at the middle of your marketing funnel who want to know more without getting bored. An amazing example of a webinar would be the one organized by Unreal Engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>17. Event Videos (Live Streams)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last type of video content on this list is meant for MOFU, event videos provide your leads with a chance to engage with you in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through live streams, leads can feel involved in your brand\u2019s events and happenings so that they have a more intimate connection with the company. It also allows for greater transparency since live streams are completely unfiltered with no edits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts of live streams is that you do not even need a proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getshow.io\/video-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video hosting platform<\/a> to conduct them. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram provide you with enough resources to easily live stream and even interact with your followers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Buzzfeed is one such popular brand that makes regular use of live streams to connect with its audience and establish a more intimate engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>18. Product Tips &amp; Tricks Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your leads are becoming warmer by the end and have officially descended to the bottom of your marketing funnel, it is time to add the fine touches to your video marketing strategy and wrap it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way of doing so is through videos that demonstrate product tips and tricks. If your lead is watching such a video, it means they have become very invested in your product. They already have enough information and want to dive in just a little bit further before coming to a final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of video content has greatly benefited a brand like AppSumo whose video content strategy is based on getting viewers more involved with their product through detailed tips, tricks, and hacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>19. FAQ Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An extension of the product tips and tricks videos are the FAQ videos. Like the videos about tips, tricks, and hacks, these videos also serve the purpose of involving your leads deeper into your product\/service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a viewer is interested in checking out the frequently asked questions related to your offering, it means that they are very close to making a purchase. This stage is very crucial since you do not want to lose leads when they are almost convinced and just confirming some doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDonald\u2019s is one highly popular brand with an FAQ video that answers some of the most pressing questions posed by consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>20. Personalized Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s world is all about personalization. As businesses have come up rapidly one after the other, consumerism has increased. In such an ecosystem, the consumer has more than enough choices to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When getting the attention of your ideal customer is so difficult, one way to turn their heads would be through personalization. Personalized videos achieve exactly this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personalized videos<\/strong> are videos that incorporate some personal element so that they appear slightly different to each individual. These personalized elements include name, email, image, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to personalize videos would be through sharing the stories of real customers from their point of view. Famous confectionary brand Cadbury manages to do exactly this with its marketing video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>21. Thank You Videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you videos do not fit into your marketing funnel. These are shown after your lead has already been converted into a paid customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, marketing does not end with a sale. It is a consistent effort to build trust and loyalty. With a thank you video, you can go a long way in nurturing this connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you videos for appreciating your leads for putting their faith in your product\/service and investing their money in your business. They elevate them from the position of a mere customer to a close friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, you have won much more than a customer\u2014 you win yourself a loyal customer who would support your brand for the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple yet elegant example of a Thank You video is the one by Trey Woods, co-owner of Hoboken Coffee Roasters, where he shows his heartfelt gratitude for all the individuals who have supported his business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/accounts.animaker.com\/register\/show\/?trackId=c2hvdy1lbwfpbc1tyxjrzxrpbmc&amp;utm_source=show&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Show for Free!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1632467458698\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>1.
