Build food sales in 45 seconds or less.

With over 600,000 restaurants in the U.S., it’s virtually impossible for a food manufacturer to call on more than a small fraction – even with a robust direct or broker sales force. And with a typical sales call costing around $400, it’s imperative to find cost-effective ways to reach highly profitable independent operators. That’s where video can come into play. Here are just a few stats to show the power of video in your B2B marketing mix:

• More than 70% of B2B buyers view video product demonstrations before making a purchase.¹

• A video on a B2B landing page can increase conversion by 80%²

• 48% of B2B buyers use their smartphone to watch video³

Whether you’re using video to introduce a new product (such as our Yoplait^® SmoothiePro^™ example below), or using it to show new uses for a mature product category (such as our Marzetti^® Dressing example), it can be a powerful way to extend the reach of your salesforce.

A single video can be leveraged in multiple ways to drive engagement and sales — from paid and social media, to your website, tradeshows, e-mails and blog posts.
