Improve Your Business Using the Nextframe App for Videography Marketing

Using the right app for videography is critical for a successful video marketing strategy. The meteoric rise in demand for video content has forced businesses, individuals, and video marketing agencies to find newer ways to deliver high-quality content on the go.

While a lot of businesses are already benefiting from video marketing, creating video content is demanding. To get the most out of videos, you’ll need to invest in a few things, such as recording equipment, editing tools, and storage solutions.

All of these requirements means significant investment. Besides, you’ll need to go through the learning curve of mastering various editing tools and platforms. Simply put, that’s a lot of hassle!

But there is a way around it. Continue reading this blog to learn about it and how it can help you streamline your video marketing process while cutting down overheads.

How Does Nextframe Improve your Business?

Video marketing is gradually becoming the go-to option for increasing brand engagement. In fact, Wyzowl reports that 85% of people would like to see more videos from brands in 2021 and that 84% of video marketers say video has helped them generate leads.

Does video marketing increase your business?

Yes, it does. Irrespective of the type of business you own, video is a definitive way to reach the masses and build a unique online identity for your brand. According to Wyzowl, 84% of people say that they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand’s video. It is estimated that 69% of non-video marketers will start using video as a marketing tool in 2021. So, if you aren’t already using videos, it is quite probable that your competitors are.

There are tons of online marketing video maker tools, both free and paid. However, the most common problem among the majority of the platforms is that they cater to one need at a time. For instance, a video editing app will only help you edit your raw footage into a final copy and not additional features like real-time collaboration, storage, etc.

Another major problem with apps for videography is that they don’t usually allow third-party integrations. Creating video content for a demanding audience means dealing with large files and hours of post-production work. Unfortunately, most mobile devices aren’t designed to handle such enormous tasks. Even if they do, you’ll face recurring problems like lags, frame drops, excessive heating, and more.

Before I tell you more about the solution, here are some common problems concerning marketing video maker apps:

  • Most videography apps are hardware demanding. Your phone may not have the capacity to support the high computational power needed to run the app seamlessly.
  • The best apps for creating marketing videos are costly. Depending on the features you need, these apps can cost you hundreds of dollars every month in subscriptions.
  • Marketing video maker apps don’t include cloud storage features. As a result, each copy you create is stored on your phone. If you’re creating high-resolution videos, you’ll run out of storage space sooner than you expect.
  • Viewers prefer high-quality videos. Unfortunately, most free apps for videography won’t allow you to render videos that are larger than 720p.
  • Each app will offer selected features, forcing you to invest in additional apps/tools for meeting other common requirements.

  2. Add the relevant details and ask for inputs from your team.
  3. Next, add the recipients who’ll be recording the footage.
  4. Once you have entered the details and are ready to collect video footage, click on Send. The app will guide the recipients through the recording process.

The app’s interface is straightforward and easy to navigate. It is designed to keep usability and best video marketing practices in mind. Contributors who’ll be recording the content can do it in high-resolution from their phones.

In addition to this, here are some suggestions to ensure quality video content using NextFrame:

  • Instead of promoting your product or pushing for sales, try scripting a relatable story for the video—spice up your videos with dynamic storytelling. It will help you connect with the audience and engage them.
  • Users love explainers and how-to video guides. Try adding more videos about how to use your products and services, highlighting your unique selling proposition.
  • Keep your videos short and simple. In general, viewers start losing interest after 10 seconds of a video. So make sure to add a strong hook at the beginning of the video.
  • There is no shortcut to success. Keep creating quality videos consistently and publish them across platforms to generate more likes, shares, and leads.

Conclusion

Video marketing is one of the fast-growing trends across every social media platform. Be it Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, or YouTube, the number of businesses using video as a marketing tool has increased from 61% to 86% since 2016.

By using videos in your marketing strategy, you’ll be able to publish versatile and engaging content, depicting real-life emotions. Consumers prefer videos because they’re easy to digest and entertaining, while businesses prefer them because of the potentially higher ROI.
