How to create videos to market your business 11/7/2019 3:00 PM - 11/7/2019 4:30 PM</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Video marketing has become a must-have for businesses large and small. Videos engage with more people on social media than image and text posts combined and 88% of users spend more time on a website if it has a video. But how can the small business owner with little (or no) budget take advantage of video marketing? In this session you&amp;rsquo;ll learn just how easy and inexpensive it is to create your own video, what equipment you need, how to get the right visual and sound, important tips and tricks for how to capture engaging video and how to tell a story with your video. Whether you&amp;rsquo;re a one-person business or have a marketing department, you will learn key takeaways you can quickly implement to grow your marketing strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
