Engage Customers by Incorporating Videos in Your Website

Did you know that individuals are likely to spend more time on your website if you add video content? According to Forbes author Katherine's article Top Website Statistics For 2024, "Having videos on a website has been shown to result in an 88% increase in the average time spent on page." Additional website statistics add that individuals spend around 6 minutes per page on average when there is a video included.

So how can you incorporate videos into your business website? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Utilize custom or stock video in your homepage design

Create portfolio content showcasing recent projects or deliverables

For businesses that create value for their customers through delivering content, this can be a great option. Artists, graphic designers, web developers, and other project-oriented businesses can use tools like Canva to create professional content videos that showcase projects and give customers a glimpse of what the business can offer. Here is an example of a before and after video I created using Canva to showcase a website rebuild collaboration with business owner Lauren Zeek of Sweets by Zeek.

Incorporating these videos in place of images can give a fresh and inviting presence to your website. Check out how we did just that on our website here.

Incorporate a CEO or business founder interview

If the CEO or owner of a business is heavily involved in the day-to-day operations or has a public presence, incorporating a video interview of the owner will engage customers. This is a great option for bloggers, content creators, and other businesses that focus on an individual's role in the brand.

Create a video blog that keeps business partners and customers informed
