Think about ways to utilize video to create brand awareness. It could be testimonials, useful presentations that give value to a viewer, watermark for the video with your brand logo etc.

I recently came across this Facebook marketing campaign, where the company asked customers to upload a 2 minute video to the company’s Facebook page.

Do you have several products with different price ranges? Or may be you want to highlight how your product is better than your competitors product?

6. Use YouTube videos to teach people how to use your products
Make it easier for users to know how to use your product. What is it that you sell? What does the user need to learn in order to use it? By using video you can decrease that learning curve for the user and the user is more likely to see how easy it is and buy the product.

It could be a technical person who answers questions or may be an interview with the CEO of the company. How can you leverage video interviews for your business?
