Getting your audience’s attention and delivering your message quickly is crucial for marketing success in today’s digital world. Because of this, the use of short-form video content is an increasingly powerful tool for engaging with clients and promoting insurance services.
Insurance companies can use short-form video for things like:
- FAQ’s and how-to demonstrations
- Industry updates
- Product and service explanations
- Social media engagement
- Event promotion and tradeshow updates
- Educational content
- Onboarding, and so much more
A short-form video usually lasts anywhere from 15 seconds to one minute. Videos can be an incredibly effective way to market an insurance business for several reasons:
- Attention Grabbing – Short-form videos can capture your audience’s attention quickly, without making them read a lengthy article or sit through a full interview.
- Shareability – Bite sized content is more likely to be shared with friends and family, allowing your content to have a wider reach.
- Brand Personality – Showcase your brand’s values, culture and offerings in a fun and unique way.
Here are just a few types of video content to consider in your overall marketing strategy:
Short-form Video Educational Content
Using short-form videos to educate your audience on your business and the industry as a whole can help build rapport and reduce complicated insurance topics down to bite-sized, easy-to-understand chunks.
Short-form Video Creative Campaigns
Convey your message with entertaining video campaigns that capture your prospects’ attention. A few campaign ideas:
