Visual Appeal - People look for a visual experience when on the web, so video is a natural for Websites. Most of us would prefer to 'see' something before we are forced to 'read' something.

Stickiness - Video makes your website 'sticky' - that is, they will spend more time on your Website. Its like when a prospective customer walks into a place of business: your goal should be to keep them on your website for as long as possible learning about your services in order to increase the chance of making a sale.

Emotional Appeal - A demonstration video about your products and service, customer testimonial videos, training videos, etc. set off emotional triggers that static text simply cannot, ultimately influencing buying decisions.

24-7-365 - Unlike a traditional sales pitch, Website video is ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a years.

Versatility - A video which has been produced for your website can be repurposed elsewhere, such as YouTube, and other no-cost or low-cost hosting sites.
