to mind is of song playlists, videos of toddlers (and cats and dogs) frolicking around and
videos watched by toddlers! It might look like YouTube has been overtaken by domesticity
but, in reality, this giant of a website presents a great opportunity for businesses willing to
look beyond tumbling cats.
channel (and appropriate videos in that channel) will go a long way. YouTube, just like any
business, is keen about success both its own and of the people who use its services.
YouTubes services are catered to up your digital and social marketing campaign they
understand what a company needs to take its agenda forward. Which is why they provide data
analytics and extensive user statistics on how your videos are faring. You can track your
videos likes and dislikes, viewer comments and even which part of the video is watched

Benefits of a YouTube channel
As you can see, creating a strong presence on YouTube has several advantages. Let us
examine some of them in detail.
1. A reliable home for your customers: A branded channel means personalisation; you
can give the channel the look and feel that is appropriate for your business with
supporting images and banners. A channel also allows you to customise your content
and thus build a sense of consistency and sturdiness into your online presence. This
will also provide greater visibility to your marketing campaign and will assist in
optimising your branding efforts.
2. Stand out from the crowd: Every business worth its salt is building a strong social
presence on the web today and the question on everybodys lips is how to be ahead of
the curve. Branded YouTube pages give your business a push in this direction. By
constantly updating your channel with new and relevant content and showcasing your
brand through its images and logos (which can be displayed very prominently on the
channel pages), you can give your business greater visibility than before and increase
your social outreach immensely.
3. Tool for cross-promotion: Social media marketing today is all about having an
integrated business strategy that takes into consideration all channels of advertising
and marketing and keeps in mind how to keep the communication channels between
these platforms open and accessible. With YouTube, this is as easy as it comes. Since
YouTube integrates seamlessly with several other social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest etc., the links to these platforms can be easily
displayed in your branded channel and users can be directed to proceed there for
additional content or feedback.
Time then to sift through the cats and babies and do some real business!
