Local Business Dublin: A You Tube Marketing Tip To Promote Your Local Business

You can do more than you think with a You Tube Video to Promote your local business in Dublin

You have made a video for You Tube…..What You really want is for people to ACT…… in other words for example if your local business is a coffee shop you want to remind existing customers to visit your coffee and buy your coffee, cakes etc…..and hopefully to reach new customers !

Now the more your video DIRECTS customers/ new or existing…… to do this…. all the better for your business.

 You can do more with your video than you might realise ???

 Here are some examples:

1.What if you could add a direct link for people to go and join your Facebook business page and receive your weekly special offers and updates.

 2. A map that can be linked directly to the video for your You Tube visitors to see where your business is located.

 3. What if you asked them to subscribe to your email list , so when they leave You Tube you can keep them up to date with offers .events etc for your business by email.

 4 With a details button you have another opportunity to tell them more about the video and your business. On the details button you can add a link to your sites, social media profiles…… Facebook Business Page , and Twitter . Your email and telephone number and address. To make it easy for people to find you and your business online and offline.

 5. Why are you making this video and what are you trying to achieve with this video. What is the main goal of this particular video. Is it to go to your premises or join your Facebook Business Page for example.

 6. In my particular case in the video below it was to ask people to subscribe to my email to keep you tube visitors updated with my services, offers etc. Every business is different but you should  have a clear focus on WHAT YOU WANT your You Tube visitors to do after watching your video.

 7. In my video I have the subscribe button displayed in the top right corner for the whole video and also on the right side of the video. At the end of the video there is a form that they can give  their details for my email updates.

 8. In my video I also displayed my Tweets and I got all these features for FREE but you can get extra features for an extra charge like a coupon button, eBay, Skype and other premium features.

 9. Lastly with all these extra features , you can share your video on Facebook , Twitter , your social sites and even email it to customers or potential customers. Of course you can add it to your site as well.

I have a video below explaining how I applied these features to my video

    What a great way to promote your local business using YouTube. Not a lot of people do this, if they did, business would be pouring. Many underestimate the power of the internet to expand local businesses. Of course, a strong call to action is needed at the end of the video to make it complete.

    • Hi Jacob,

      Yes you tube is a great tool for local business to use. It is well worth the effort for local business to learn how to communicate with video with their current customers and to get new customers. I agree with you a strong call to action is very important to get the right results. Thank you for taking the time to comment. All the best Rosemary

    Hi Rosemary,
    Oh boy what a great idea! Thank you so very much for sharing this. Also the exact way to do it. Seems like a great target marketing technique. People do search so much in their own area that they are bound to come across a Youtube video in their search.
    Sometimes we get so spoiled that marketing is worldwide that we forget about our own back yards.
    Thinking about this: If I were to run into something in my own area, I would be more apt to “trust” it.
    I have to start a video campaign now…
    Much appreciated
    Donna

    • Donna,

      You are very welcome , yes it is well worth keeping an eye out for value in your local area. I was at a seminar last week it was interesting to hear the stats of how much longer people stay on sites that have video’s. Thanks for your feedback. Take care Rosemary

    Excellent method, Rosemary.

    Youtube is an excellent way to put yourself head and shoulders above the competition.

    It is often thought to be only applicable to massive marketing campaigns, but using it in local campaigns is even more potent since so few people are doing it.

    • Hi David,

      You have made some excellent points here . Yes especially in the local market as it takes people time to learn the skills to use You Tube. It is a great tool to reach customers. Thank you for your comment and take care Rosemary

    Thank you for sharing this idea, Rosemary, I had not ever heard of Viewbix before. It looks too, like the free option would work pretty well for a lot of people.

    But that first paid version has analytics with it, so that would get to be more important I think the more videos one has up and around online.

    Pretty unobtrusive with the branding too, and that is a real benefit as far as I am concerned.

    • Hi Michael,

      Great to see you back on this site. You have made an excellent point there about the analytics. It is like all these tools we all have to make informed choices what is best for our particular business. I am quite happy for myself with the stats from You Tube for the moment. I also like the way the branding is tasteful as I would say. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Take care Rosemary
