Join Street Volkswagen at the 21st Digital Dealer Conference & Expo at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, August 8th — 10th, 2016!
Digital Dealer Conference provides the most progressive educational content found anywhere in the automotive industry. No wonder why 88 of the top 100 dealership groups in the U.S. have continued to attend this conference to learn how to better use the Internet and technology to sell and service more vehicles, more profitably!
As businesses look for innovative ways to reach customers, videos stand out on social media, giving customers a quick overview without inundating them with a lot of text. In less than twenty seconds, a customer can get absorbed in a visually-appealing and engaging video. In this age of incessant technological distractions, it seems as if our attention spans are diminishing… Every second counts!
We’ve all heard stories of viral videos creating overnight sensations. While your video may not garner 141 million views like Candace Payne’s Live Video of her Chewbacca mask, it does demonstrate video's inherent shareability. Capture viewers and they will stay longer on your website and more time interacting with your brand. A recent study by Percolate, an influential social and content marketing software company, listed video as one of the top marketing trends to watch in 2016
It’s never been easier to create engaging videos with little to no cost. Additionally, Facebook entered into the world of live streaming this year, making it possible for all of the site's users to broadcast videos of almost anything to a huge audience. Nielsen, the leader in tracking viewer habits, projects that 64% of marketers expect video to dominate their strategies in the near future.
In addition to YouTube, here’s why you should be uploading your videos directly into Facebook, according to Craig Smith of Digital Marketing Resources (DMR), Stats & Gadgets, as of May 23, 2106:
• Facebook users check in at least 13 times a day
• 50% of all Americans will be on Facebook once a month
• Facebook users are on at least 30 minutes a day
• 27% of those users admit to checking in while driving
• 30% of all Facebook users have a Bachelor’s Degree
• 8% of the entire digital time on the Internet is spent on Facebook
• 33% of users selected and read a Facebook blog post in 2014
• 26% of those who read a Facebook post shared it with someone else
Facebook's massive global reach will help bring your videos to a bigger audience more than ever. Facebook itself offers numerous tips for making the most of their new video feature (and getting the most viewers). Facebook suggests that you inform people when you're going to start broadcasting with updates in your timeline. For example, “Join our ‘Live Broadcast’ this weekend as we unveil our new 2017 models.”
