Video is one of the most widely searched words online. At any given moment, it is being searched and researched by business owners, individuals, and video content producers alike to see what is available.
Corporate executives spend hours each week viewing and analyzing video that is created about their niche area to find out what is trending with their customers or competition.
Video is not just the platform of young people who are looking for entertaining music videos or concert footage. Millions of people look for “how-to” guides and tutorials on their favorite topics including hobbies and other areas of interest. It saves them time when they watch a video, as opposed to reading lines of text that take so long to locate what they need to know.
So we know that online video is important. The following resource guides and case studies show the power of online video and give you some useful tips on how you can utilize video to your advantage.

Smart Insights: Case Study
Smart Insights did a case study on RevZilla, the motorcycle company that wanted to improve its video views and purchases.
RevZilla has produced 1,800 videos that help provide product reviews and how-to guides for 17,000 subscribers. They have also accumulated over 9,000,000 video views during this time, making them a bit of a role model regarding knowing how to use video well for their target audience.
RevZilla is an example of a company that has produced so much media for their brand that it’s difficult to tell if they are a motorcycle company or a media production firm! But, joking aside, they know how to maximize their impact on the web via online video and bring in the people that are most likely to benefit from their message.
Trade Only Today
Trade Only Today is not a case study in and of itself. Instead, it is an excellent summary of a variety of online video case studies that have proven successful for business owners.
Written by Wanda Kenton Smith, this summary of video case studies illustrates the fact that online video is not only an extra asset that you should choose but one you cannot do without.
Online video, she states, “should move to the top of the marine marketer’s food chain.” She believes that many business owners and entrepreneurs have missed out on a large part of their potential market by avoiding the key element of success in email marketing and online web campaigns: web video.
She goes on to discuss several examples of how video worked for various companies and drew some interesting conclusions about exactly how video helped these companies grow.
