We are living in the digital age and our customers are being flooded with information on a daily basis. Clients are being hit with text ads, photographs, banners and of course videos. The number of businesses fighting for customers attention is rapidly increasing.

As business owners it is our job to keep our clients attention as long as possible. We have got to create content that draws them in and keeps them.

Videos tend to be a little trickier than other types of advertising such as banners, text ads, and photos. With those types of advertising a person is forced to see them. If your client is on Facebook they have to see your ad. They may not click on it but the name branding is there. With a video things get a little bit harder. Mostly we will not force our shoppers to click on our video to watch it, it is absolutely up to them.

Videos that are under a minute will get played more frequently than a video that is 2 to 3 minutes. Though 3 minutes may not seem like a very long time, online it's an eternity.
