One of the biggest advantages of opting for a YouTube channel for your Museum is the fact that the video format has become the must-have type of content of the moment. Yes, today's Internet users prefer videos to other content, which allows professionals who want to stand out to use, for example, corporate videos in order to maximize their chances of being more visible on the web. Moreover, videos are also among the most shared content, which increases the chances of reaching new leads. Currently, YouTube is the essential platform for those who want to get known quickly. Indeed, being at the beginning a simple dating site that was mainly based on the use of video, YouTube has become over time a video hosting site of great magnitude which welcomes millions of visitors every day. Moreover, it is also considered a quality social media that offers a huge audience and that's why it has been increasingly appreciated by professionals, especially companies that want to promote themselves.
And why not start with the basics? A YouTube channel allows you to set up the introductions. More casual, but not less professional, having a YouTube channel and showing off what your Museum has to offer can be a great way to reassure customers that your Museum is ‘human’ and to break the ice. This can be essential if your Tourism Association is still in its infancy, and you want to reach a bigger audience to convince more people to visit your site. A video is 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of Google results than a traditional piece of content! So this is why your Museum should invest time and effort in creating the best YouTube Channel.
Museums all around the world are using YouTube as one of their main marketing strategies. The Museo Nacional de Antropología is a great example of a successful YouTube channel. Not only do they use their channel to promote their content and their latest collections, but they also bring their expositions and their work to people that may not be familiar with the Museum, or able to visit it. The British Museum, with more than 500k followers, is another prime example of how successful a YouTube channel can be for your museum. Since COVID hit the world, museums have started giving virtual tours of their expositions and collections. The Imperial War Museum is giving its history-loving audience a series of videos retracing Second World War stories, or Adventures in History.
