Best Practices for Using Videos in Lead Generation

Know Your Audience

Understand who you are targeting– their pain points, what they are looking for, and how you can help them– and collect as much data as possible to help tailor your content.

Have A Strong Hook

Capture viewers’ attention in the first few seconds by starting with compelling visuals, a good edit, a surprising fact or a bold statement that resonates with your target audience.

Deliver Value

Provide real value to your audience before you ask for a sale. You can educate them about a topic relevant to your industry, give them valuable tips, or even entertain them.

Have a Clear CTA

Your call-to-action can direct viewers to visit your website, redeem a compelling offer, or get in touch for more information.
