Let’s go through the several types of video content that you can create to market your brand. These types vary according to the stage your consumer is in during the buying process. So by dividing the buying process into three main stages Awareness, Consideration, and Decision. There are different ideas of what video content you can provide to support each stage.

Firstly .. Awareness Stage:

In this stage, a prospect is experiencing and expressing signs of a problem or opportunity. They’re doing research to more clearly understand and give a name to their problem. They’re looking for educational content to help them answer some of their questions and concerns. It’s all about awareness through introducing your brand and products to your prospects and attracting your audience. Here you can freely use fun and informative type of content to achieve your means.

For instance: Roundup Videos, Behind The Scenes, Interview Videos,2d Animation videos, 3d Animation Videos, Video Documentaries, A How-To /Explainer/Tutorial Videos.

This brand filming documentary video was created by Hive Studio for Schneider Electric to celebrate 30 years in the Egyptian market providing its customers with high-end technologies and products.

Secondly .. Consideration Stage:

In this stage, a prospect has clearly defined and given a name to their problem or opportunity. They’re committed to researching and understanding all available approaches and methods to solving their problem or opportunity. Create content that positions you as an expert in your industry. It’s all about nurturing the leads you got earlier from your efforts in the awareness stage. You start to build existing relationships with users. As you’ve got already their attention, now help them to get to know, like, and consider you.

For instance: Product reviews, product demos, vlogs, video emails, Company Culture Videos, Testimonials, Case study/testimonial Videos, Public Service Announcements, Live talks, and presentations.

This is an infographic video is considered as Public Service Announcements. It was created by Hive Studio for World Bank introducing how policy implementation differs from a country to another, and how that affects the rise of small and medium corporates.

Finally .. Decision Stage:

In this stage, a prospect has now decided on their solution strategy, method, or approach. They’re compiling a long list of all available vendors and products in their given solution strategy. They’re researching to trim down this long list into a shortlist and ultimately make a final purchase decision—and that final purchase decision could be YOU.

For instance: FAQ Videos, Demonstration/Instructions Videos, Personalized Videos and Thank you Videos.

This 3D Animation video was created by hive studio for TE-Data Egypt to deliver a Thank you message in the Mother’s day with creative visuals and artwork.

To bring to a close, videos belong to every stage of the buyer’s journey process. And the more stages you develop great content, the easier you make it for those buyers to go forward to purchase action.
