For example, a business about Gym equipment, has a video showing bodybuilders using equipment; or people who are using the gym equipment having a good looking body. This video will attract the consumers because they can view and feel as supposed to read & then feel. Apart from that, the fast pace of life does not give the luxury to read. Time is the essence and given everyone is busy they tend to view videos rather than read. . Recently, platforms like TikTok & Youtube have made video and live-streaming very popular. Video does extremely well on Facebook and Instagram Live streaming also.
