Reminder for 2025: You’re not just selling clicks or trying to close deals. You’re building relationships at scale. But the reality is that your audience is being bombarded with content every day. So, if you want to make a real impact, forget flashy ads or surface-level social posts—real relationships are forged in the middle of the funnel (MOFU). That’s where informative and trust-building videos step up as your secret weapon. Why? Because video is demonstrably engaging. But more than that, it’s 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙. 🔥 𝟗𝟏% 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 already use video as a marketing tool, and 𝟖𝟖% 𝐬𝐚𝐲 it’s a critical part of their strategy (Wyzowl). 🔥 Educational and informational videos 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, with audiences seeking expertise and actionable insights (Wistia). 🔥 Video drives conversions: Embedding CTAs or email capture forms in videos 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐑𝐎𝐈 effortlessly (Wistia). See, middle-of-funnel content is about 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡, not chasing numbers. Videos that inform, demonstrate empathy for the audience, and showcase values are the bridge between awareness and decision-making (Hubspot). Think high-level product demos, targeted customer stories, and anthemic reasons to believe in your brand. Videos like these are the virtual stand-in for strong eye contact and a firm handshake. In other words, 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝑴𝑴𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒔𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆. So, while others are lost in the Top-of-Funnel race to grab attention, you’re forging relationships and guiding your audience toward meaningful action. (Plus, you can let your competition do the TOFU work while you close deals with MOFU, since most awareness work can be cross-leveraged with timely, targeted videos.) We all have hopes and dreams for this new year… But if you want to stand out? Start with the mid-funnel. Start with video. #VideoMarketing #PMM #TrustInAction
