How are you using video on your landing pages?

Vidyard has a nice case study showing a 100% lift in conversion rates using video;

Marketo provides a nice feature to embed video on landing pages but I haven't seen high adoption:

Have you tried videos on your landing pages?  Did you experience similar success?

Re: How are you using video on your landing pages?

Hey Steven, 

Ian from Vidyard here - thanks for the shout out. The Unbounce article you referenced is from 2011. Great to see that our content keeps paying dividends. During the 2011 era, there was a big push to get B2B marketers started with video. Jon Mills posted this great blog post early in the year: http://blog.marketo.com/blog/2011/02/how-to-optimize-your-b2b-marketing-and-sales-with-online-video.html

Since 2011, B2B marketers have taken things to a while new level with the scale and distribution of video content. When we are working within the Marketo community, so much of the focus can be on lead generation or lead scoring that we sometimes forget the basics.

I would love to put together a post outlining:
1. Engagement on landing pages (time spent on page):
          Another 2011 article by Unbounce: http://unbounce.com/landing-page-articles/the-benefits-of-using-video-on-landing-pages/
2. Video placement on landing pages (design styles):
          Here are 38 examples: http://www.switchvideo.com/resources/video-landing-page-examples/
3. Email click through rates with video:
          Some good brainstorming ideas for when to use video in email are listed here: http://www.constantcontact.com/learning-center/hints-tips/ht-2011-03b.jsp

Re: How are you using video on your landing pages?

We put video on our landing pages regularly. Instead of using Marketo's embed feature, however, I use the share coding from YouTube so that I can make the video autoplay.

Interested to see what others are up to!

Ian, those links are great! Thanks for sharing!

We're about to roll out a campaign that is based on a mini video series, using a teaser video on the landing page to entice people to subscribe. Seeing as this is our first experiment with a video campaign, I'm excited to see how conversion results will turn out!

@Ian Great link from 2010 (seed nurturing?) and this sounds like a fantastic post to write.
