When to include video in the sales funnel stages

Top of the sales funnel

If you want to attract or interest customers while generating brand awareness, top of funnel marketing videos are the perfect place to start. These sales funnel videos aim to educate, entertain, and let viewers discover who you are, rather than putting emphasis on making a sale. Showcase your brand, mission, and goal by creating promo videos, teasers, and short video trailers.

Middle of the sales funnel

Middle of the sales funnel videos should always aim to give customers useful information and insights that will help them determine their buying decisions. This style of marketing video is usually created in a product demo style, helpful tutorial, or explainer video that’s shared to social media, websites, or brand YouTube channels

Bottom of the sales funnel

The bottom of the sales funnel is the right time to create and share videos that will make your viewers take action and purchase from your brand. Create a lasting impression and form a relationship with your audience by offering limited time offers, exclusive tips, answer frequently asked questions, and say thank you through videos. Many B2B companies use LinkedIn videos specifically to target bottom-funnel MQLs (marketing-qualified leads) and SQLs (sales-qualified leads).
