As we all know, attention spans are becoming shorter. As one writer friend of mine lamented, “nobody READS anything anymore.” While I don’t wholly agree with him, (book sales across the country are still healthy … yes real books not just Kindles), prospective customers or clients want to understand what you have to offer them as quickly as possible … to decide if they want to know more. That is one reason video is so powerful. A dynamic, brief, professionally produced, video program engages viewers; allowing you to concisely communicate the points most important for your audience to know right off the bat, so they can choose to dig deeper, asking the kind of questions a more qualified prospect will ask. Video does not solve everything, but the combination of motion, sound and dynamic engagement can shorten the process towards providing you with a more informed and qualified potential customer or client, who is now willing to and wanting to hear … or even read more.
