Companies are beginning to focus more and more on the Internet and specifically online marketing videos because simply, they sell.  Videos are interactive and engage the viewer while also entertaining them.  They have the ability to show a product or service in action while also presenting a consistent message and reinforcing brand recognition.  Not only is video production cost-effective, but also people are 72% more likely to purchase a product or service after seeing a video for it.  Motion creates emotion and engaging the viewer with a video can be an extremely persuasive marketing technique.
