You may have already read case studies that demonstrate the power of online video marketing. The Old Spice commercials, for example (www.oldspice.com/videos/), are reputed to have doubled product sales. However, it isn’t necessary to create something as glossy and ambitious as those produced by multi-million dollar campaigns. Online video works primarily because people like to do business with a person, rather than a faceless corporation. Using video to put a face on your website allows you to add personality to your business, and the process is far easier than you think.
