# Formulate an Effective Video Marketing Strategy

 Published by [Doug Thompson](https://www.vehiclestest.com/blog/author/doug-thompson) on Oct 13, 2021 12:30:16 PM

Many consumers have a built-in fear of communicating with car salesmen. In some cases, there are dealers that run negative-type ads that make automotive dealerships (and sales professionals) look like high-pressure evil people. Crazy isn’t it?

When a consumer does finally reach out to your dealership, using video content in your initial communications can be your opportunity to show them that they will have an excellent experience, and counter those negative expectations.
