Video Content Strategy: Uncover the Best Ideas

Here are the 4 key phases of any customer journey with questions that you can ask for each, to uncover the best videos ideas for you to produce for your business.


Phase 1: Build Brand Awareness

The first step on your video content roadmap is to make prospects aware that you exist! The best way to get on the radar of cold prospects is to use video to educate them with information they have sought out. Your prospects will have problems that need solving, and they turn to search engines in search of an expert to help them find what they're looking for. Let's make YOU that expert! Create informative and entertaining videos that showcase your brand's value and expertise. Utilise Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) to get this evergreen content in front of prospects through your website and social media platforms.

  1. Keyword Search: What are your customers searching on Google or YouTube to learn more about your industry, service, or products? Use online keyword tools to find out what people search for when they're seeking your area of expertise. Use these insights to create videos that address their specific queries.

  2. Customer Pain Points: What problems do your customers face? Identify the common pain points and challenges they encounter related to your products or services. Create videos that provide solutions to these issues, positioning your brand as a problem solver.

  3. Your Best Advice: What information can you share with your target audience to enable them to make better decisions? Provide valuable top tips and insights in your videos to position yourself as an expert in your field.

Phase 3: Convert Prospects

At this stage, your videos are designed to make the sale happen, but remember, they should still focus on building trust. Avoid being too salesy and focus on the value you provide. When your prospect makes even a tiny investment of time or money, it shows they are prepared to make a longer-term commitment to you.
