7 Reasons to Build YouTube into Your B2B Marketing Strategy
Video marketing requires some heavy lifting in terms of resource allocation. But the benefits of YouTube for B2B marketing make all the effort and expense worth it.
The Majority of Manufacturers Use Video Marketing
66% of manufacturers increased their video output in 2019, and that trend has likely continued.
Without YouTube, your company is likely missing many opportunities to attract and retain customers. If your main competitors develop a YouTube presence and you don’t, that will put you at a competitive disadvantage.
The good news is that the average cost for video production has come down. As shown in the chart above, in 2021, most companies spent between $100 and $1000 per video.
Why Include YouTube in Your B2B Marketing Strategy?
