The Wonderful World of Wistia

  • It certainly increases our lead generation numbers because we require small amounts of info for certain videos.
  • It certainly increases our time on-site significantly because they are spending time on the site watching the video. Then typically, we see a lot of click-thru's from the end of a video to another page within our website.
  • It has given us insight into what specific points of our video are interesting to people - it's almost another way of doing keyword or topical research.

  • Makes managing video simple, thus allowing me to focus on scenarios/issues where active engagement is necessary.
  • Gating makes it easy to give multiple users download rights, making Wistia great for not only streaming but for content sharing. This helps avoid the cost of FTP Service.

Standalone or Integrated Video Hosting - Wistia is top of the MarTech Stack

  • Wistia provides the opportunity to use video content. Whether or not it delivers an ROI for you depends on the content you create.
  • The stats are useful to determine the level of engagement with your content. For example, the stats showed me that 50% of viewers dropped off in the first 10 seconds of video. This showed me that I need to engage customers much sooner in the content.

Posting video without using Wistia is like using an outhouse without a hole

  • We use the videos as a sales aid to our sales and marketing staff, a brochure gives you specs and a description, but with a video link the potential customer can view a video and follow a demonstration on a new product or a repair to an old one.

  • We have been able to cut training costs in half! We no longer need to travel to satellite locations for training.

Great for Marketing Videos

Return on Investment

  • Better visibility into how our videos are performing and should be used.
  • More creative ways to use the videos we pay to produce - means we get more bang for our buck on production cost.
  • Helps us capture leads with our videos - we never used to be able to do that, and now with embedded forms in the videos, we actually get demo requests that way.

Video hosting and analytics made easy

  • Positive impact that we have seen is fast load times for our videos and speed to upload them.
  • Wistia has been reliable in terms of video plays on both desktop and mobile.
  • The only slight negative is that videos hosted on Wistia can only be found on the pages that display them, as opposed to YouTube which gives you a chance of coming up in Google searches.

Return on Investment

  • Wistia has allowed us to track the activity of our video content to better engage our members and potential leads.
  • This platform has allowed us to embed videos into our own website without the need for an outside developer, saving us on costly contracts.
  • With our own site issues, or whatever it may be, Wistia allows us to be able to add specific individuals to projects and send links to members in order to view the content they are requesting if for some reason the site is not operational.
  • Contracting outside video content, Wistia allows other companies a location to securely upload their videos to us for our use within our site.

  • We have not monetized the solution, but the visibility to know which prospects (in Salesforce.com) are viewing videos really aids our sales process. We know who has watched a video (and which videos) before we get on a sales call.
