Business goals achieved quickly, with minimal investment — is it possible? With the right tactics, absolutely.

Whether your objective is to increase sales or boost brand awareness, you can skyrocket your business sooner than you think by leveraging the most effective growth hacking techniques.

There are various ways to growth hack your business, and video has emerged as a secret weapon over the past few years. So, if you’re considering this marketing method, or you’re already utilizing it but haven’t added video to your strategy yet, it’s time to find out why you should take video content as your essential growth hacking solution.

Why should you use video content as part of your growth hacking strategy?

‍

The key to successful growth hacking is getting your target audience to actively engage with you. And video is the best tool for that. Here’s why:

• Video content generates 3x more engagement and traffic than any other content type.
• 9 in 10 people want to watch a video about a product or service before they make a purchasing decision.
• 5 customers in 10 say they want to see more videos from the brands they encounter.

With video, you can get ahead of more people than through any other medium, so you can generate more engagement and drive more traffic to your website. However, marketers often hesitate to say yes to creating video campaigns because video production is more expensive than non-video content creation in general. But there’s one thing you must know: video has a wonderful ability to maximize ROI with minimum investment. Sounds good, right?

Dominating the marketing scenario, video provides your business with so many opportunities to grow that you simply cannot afford not to employ it. And if you play your cards right, you can optimize costs, so you don’t have to worry about the fixed budgets that you have already allocated.

Let’s see the cost-effective video types that can help you achieve remarkable results.

How to’s and tutorials

The constantly growing popularity of tutorial videos shows that people love to learn new things. 51% of YouTube users browse videos on the platform to discover new things.

Tutorial videos allow you to give answers to your audience's questions that they would ask about your product or service anyway, so you can get them insight, leading them towards the next step of the sales process.

Successful tutorial videos are helpful and engaging, but they don’t have to cost you a fortune to support your growth. Simply show your viewers how to do it, but first, choose the video style that fits your goals best.
