In the era of short attention spans and multi-tasking, video has become the new king of the jungle. Just take a look at the popularity of Snapchat, the abundance of cat videos on Facebook, and the bite-sized snippets on Instagram; video is the next tool to capture client attention. So are you utilizing it to grow your business and increase your sales?

Slideshows can be an easy way to explain your products and services, show off your work or provide your clients with something easily shareable on social media. We’ve written about how we make same-day wedding slideshows with Animoto in this article and we’ve shown you our 20-minute slideshow workflow.

Using Animoto to make slideshows has helped us create raving clients, and in turn, has been very effective in marketing.
