We know that video is an important part of modern marketing. Consumers love video. It helps them to gather information from companies quickly. And in a world where customers demand things to be easy, video is a must.
The problem is many business owners have dismissed video as being too expensive and difficult to produce, so have avoided producing the video content their customers so desperately want.
But the good news is you don't need to hire a video production team or spend thousands of dollars to create an effective video for your business. No the only tool you need is in your pocket.
Your smartphone is arguably your most powerful marketing tool. And it has everything you need to start producing your own customer generating content.
