While infographics are, well, very informative, sometimes, things are better explained with some video footages. Choose topics where you can share knowledge to your viewers. Depending on your business you can talk about smart buying or the science behind your product or technology you have been using. Any other things related to your business that they should know of.
Webinars
Take advantage of the digital world and connect with your audience from different regions by conducting webinars. This increases your influence as you promote your business while sharing something meaningful in the form of online training.
Tips and How To’s

They will keep coming back once you become their go-to source when they need solutions to relevant matters.
Live Videos
