In today’s fast paced tech-savvy world, video is the most powerful tool in your marketing team’s disposal. Quality video is the future of online content sharing. In fact, according to Syndacast, 74 percent of all Internet traffic in 2017 will be video streaming. You, of course, probably subconsciously understand this. Think about the video tutorial you may have watched when installing a new software tool, or the ad you streamed off Twitter. Or even think about that funny cat video you were watching before your boss walked by your office. Whether you think about it or not, the way you consume content is increasingly through streaming video. Your customers are the same way. The fact of the matter is, if you’re not engaging your leads with video, you’re falling behind already. Industry leaders across the public and B2B sectors are harnessing the power of video and killing it. These companies include Salesforce, Intel, Volvo, Squarespace and more. To level the playing field and allow you to hang with the big guys, we here at OMI have earned up with Vidyard to give you the power to leverage video in a big way.

In fact, the guys over at dreamgrow.com found that “an introductory email that includes a video receives an increase click-through rate by 96%!” By leveraging 366 and Vidyard, you can track your leads’ interaction with the video and the email.

For instance, those who watched the whole video may receive one follow up email, while those who didn’t open the email will receive a different campaign email entirely. This allows you to pursue those who show interest, and chase after those who don’t.
366 also allows you to create dynamic landing pages to engage visitors to your site and let you gain valuable contact info to add visitors to mailing lists.

The same Wyzowl study found that 97% of consumers would gladly share branded videos if they were quality content. You got the content, 366 and Vidyard have the way to get it out, and track your results to boot.
