Mark Liberio will speak at SMB Dallas February 2017

DALLAS - Feb. 15, 2017 - PRLog -- Video has become a leader to draw in an audience.  It can be used in various forms and platforms including social media.  February 23, 2017 SMB Dallas will feature a panel of video experts who will share their experiences, perspective and successes using video.

According to Cisco forecasts, global consumer Internet video traffic will make up 80% of all consumer Internet traffic by 2019.  It is 74% in 2017. Mobile video traffic now accounts for more than half (55%) of all time spent on mobile.  In 2016, people spent an average of three hours and six minutes per day on mobile devices, up from one hour and 28 minutes in 2012, as found by eMarketer.

So it's no surprise that, 76.5% of marketers and small business owners who have used video marketing say it had a direct impact on their business (source: Animoto survey).  This month we will have two expert Panelists discuss their own video endeavors.  Join us for this session and hear from their perspective and experience.

Our panel this month will feature Winn Fuqua, Winn Fuqua Photography and Mark Liberio, Tetra Media Group.  You will want to register (http://www.socialmediabreakfastdallas.com/february-23-60-...) early as this event will fill up quickly.

Winn Fuqua will be discussing using videos as a marketing and sales tool to position the owner or CEO of their company as an expert in the industry. When you share what you know on a regular basis you become the expert in that industry. Use 60 second videos to position your business / yourself, and stay in touch with your audience. Let's discuss two of the most common bad assumptions or even mistakes when making your videos. Is producing a 30 second video easier or harder than creating a 1.5 minute video? Will the shorter video be less expensive?

There is SEO strategy that plays into a successful video campaign but in the end, it's the value of the story that connects and stays with the viewer.  What's your story?"
