Why Every Sussex Business Needs Video in 2026

If you're running a business in Sussex and you're not using video yet, you're leaving money on the table. That's not hype — it's what we're seeing every day working with businesses across Brighton, Eastbourne, Lewes and the wider South East.

The numbers speak for themselves

Video content generates 1,200% more shares than text and images combined. Websites with video keep visitors on the page 88% longer. And 84% of people say they've been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand's video.

For Sussex businesses competing in crowded local markets — whether that's hospitality in Brighton, professional services in Lewes, or manufacturing in Newhaven — video is the fastest way to build trust and stand out.

It's not about going viral

Most businesses don't need a viral hit. They need a clear, professional video that shows potential customers who they are, what they do, and why they're worth choosing. A well-made promotional video on your homepage can do more for your business than months of social media posts.

Social media demands video

Every major platform — Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok — now prioritises video content in their algorithms. If you're posting static images and text updates, you're fighting against the current. Regular video content keeps your brand visible and your audience engaged.

The cost of doing nothing

Your competitors are already investing in video. Every week you wait is another week they're building trust with the customers you want to reach. The good news? Getting started is simpler and more affordable than most people think.

Where to start

If you're new to video, start with a promotional film. Something that tells your story in 60–90 seconds. Use it on your website, share it on social media, include it in email campaigns. One good video can work across every channel.

From there, consider a monthly social media content package to keep the momentum going. Regular, fresh content is what builds an audience over time.
