The Time Has Come for Internet Video Marketing

You have probably heard whispers of it, maybe even caught a brief sight of it yourself. Countless video sites on the web are just now getting it off the ground. Video is literally taking over the internet. A few years ago, online videos were few and far between, but now they’re more common than colored lights at Christmas, and internet video marketing is the blossoming new business that’s rolling out of the station on that particular freight train. Small businesses are hitching a ride as well, because for almost no investment, with the properly presented message, they can launch their products around the world in the blink of an eye.

The first small attempts at internet video marketing happened back in the early 90′s, and were mostly ignored, leaving the online video niche to people with travel tapes, lame home-bloopers and garage-band MTV fodder. Because the market is wide open, you should join the herd before it stampedes. People are tired of reading their advertising but they love watching it.

Do you remember the last advertisement you came across while paging through a magazine? I sure don’t. Marketing big-wigs call it ad blindness. We are so used to being inundated with unsolicited advertising that, unless it’s a real attention grabber, we tend to just tune that advertising out. E-mail isn’t fun anymore, it is work, and e-mail advertisements are just shoved aside like so much junk.

E-mail is actually the bad guy in this story. People just blow through it, ignoring the marketing spam, deleting it without giving it the time of day.

Electronic mail just isn’t fun anymore. It’s so full of spam that, nowadays, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who gets excited when they see 37 new messages in their inbox.

For internet marketers, this new trend is murder. Their hard-work simply evaporates with one of those clicks we mentioned earlier, unopened. It’s not hard to see why their jobs are becoming almost impossible nowadays.

But, if you are the owner of a small enterprise, this is all great news. Internet video marketing is poised to fill the vacuum as e-mail goes the way of the dodo.

There are hundreds of free sites out there, waiting for you to come along and post your customized product video, or you could just do it yourself on your own site. You’ll already be jumping light-years ahead of the competition.

If your target market is under 40, you’ve got it made. Gen. X’s and their successors are eating up online video, and internet video marketing is absolutely exploding. Take advantage of it, and send a brilliant visual message to your target audience that a flat old e-mail could never convey!
