Chart of the day: Most consumers agree that video is the best way to get to know a brand online

Around three-quarters (74%) of consumers said there was a connection between online video and their decision making process on whether to purchase.

The study found that video is a perfect way of reaching and engaging customers, even informing their purchase decision.

The study also found that almost 7 in 10 (67%) of respondents said that the amount of video they watch on social media has increased in the last month; 6 hours per week is the average that customers spend watching videos on social media

Customers also react with brands a lot as shown in the chart below.

The research also found that customers "like" videos almost every two times they watch a video on social media and most customers prefer video content over graphics and text-based posts.
