Research has shown that our attention spans keep plummeting; we’re down to about 8 seconds at this point. That doesn’t leave much time for marketers to get their messages across.
That’s where personalized video comes in. It’s a smart way to reach audiences on a one-to-one level and get them to engage with your content. And there are a number of ways to do that.
A person’s first and last name, job title, company name even phone number or email address can be incorporated into the video. Images can be organically weaved in to the video content, like a company logo or photo from LinkedIn, maybe even a picture of the landing page of the company you’re prospecting.
