You’ve created a standout piece of video content—now what?
Most teams understand the basics of repurposing: slice a long video into social clips, embed it on the website, maybe send it in an email. But what if you could squeeze even more value out of that same video by applying it in less expected (but highly strategic) ways?
Here are five not-so-obvious tactics to stretch the life and impact of your video content—without shooting anything new.
1. Tailor Video Content for Targeted Sales Campaigns
Go beyond simply attaching a brand video to your sales emails. Instead, edit your video content into highly personalized outreach tools:
- Record custom intros for key prospects.
- Use industry-specific clips to speak your buyer’s language.
- Pair relevant testimonials with product explainers for vertical-focused campaigns
Tools like Vidyard or Loom allow you to embed these personalized segments right into emails or LinkedIn DMs—making your outreach feel thoughtful and tailored.
2. Create a Thought Leadership Audio Series
Video interviews, testimonials, or brand explainers can be turned into a short-form audio series or “microcast”: Extract 3–5 minute insights from longer videos. Add light editing and branding to create a consistent series. Share it weekly via LinkedIn or in your newsletter.
This works especially well for behind-the-scenes stories, leadership commentary, or customer soundbites that don’t need visual support but still pack value.
3. Level Up Customer Onboarding & Support
You likely already have content explaining your product or service—why not repackage it for new customers?
Edit video walkthroughs into onboarding modules.
Use animations or screen recordings to guide users through setup. Break FAQs into bite-sized explainer clips for your help center or chatbot responses. These assets help reduce support tickets while enhancing your user experience.
4. Bring Video Into Internal Comms & Training
Your video content isn’t just for the outside world—it can build alignment within your team:
Use customer testimonial clips during internal all-hands to inspire. Incorporate product videos into training sessions for new hires. Share short leadership messages to reinforce culture or direction. Video creates clarity and emotional resonance—two things that traditional slide decks often miss.
5. Make Interactive Tools with Existing Footage
If you’re sitting on a library of great content, think about turning it into something interactive:
Build a quiz or guided learning path using snippets from educational videos. Turn a product demo into a clickable tour embedded on your site. Use highlight reels as part of a virtual decision-making guide for buyers. This approach increases dwell time and engagement while helping viewers retain information.
Final Thought
Repurposing doesn’t have to be repetitive. With a bit of creative strategy, your existing video library can serve dozens of unique functions across sales, marketing, support, and internal channels.
