When was the last time you read a white paper? Company brochure? Today, if you want to move people to act, you need to get their attention, connect with them emotionally, and make it easy to learn more. That’s what we did for H & G Sales, a contractor specializing in commercial doors. H & G needed to educate customers about its product selection, turn-key project management, talent and extensive parts and service departments. Leveraging a five-part video series targeting general contractors, the project’s launch on YouTube, Facebook and H & G’s existing website generated significantly more traffic and more leads for the Midwest’s leading door frame supplier.
When was the last time you visited a website without a video? Sites with video get more traffic, have higher engagement and more repeat visitors. It’s why YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine. Today, people don’t want to read, they want to watch. Recently, Behavioral Health Resources and the Alexander Permutt Fund asked Activated Marketing to produce a social website for WePullTogether.com, a secure network serving young adults with depression. Through the riveting story of a son’s struggle with depression, to a hopeful look at how young adults can find support online, videos introduced new online tools and with them the, new reasons for hope.
Want the results of live trainings without the cost? Use video. Videos can teach everything from the use of software, to the right way to interact with clients, employees, or vendors. But compared to the cost of corporate training events, video has a higher ROI, longer life-cycle, and delivers better outcomes. When Furniture Brands wanted to improve the performance of new and veteran sales associates, they turned to Activated Marketing and our training partner, The Knowledge Transfer Company. Now, new or seasoned sales people can learn all the steps necessary for success – from anywhere in the country, at any time.

Activated Marketing’s corporate TV program lets you deploy your own company channel for the same cost as a newsletter.
