Milk & Cookies!
Peanut Butter & Jelly!
Bacon & Eggs!
All these things go together so well that we can’t imagine one without the other. Like two peas in a pod! They bring back fond memories, fill our tummies and make us smile.
What’s this got to do with social marketing?
There are some things in social marketing that go so well together that I can’t imagine one without the other. Plus they make me smile! (not so sure how they fill my tummy unless I’m eating a cookie while working on my social marketing.)
Video & Ads
Both of these social marketing powerhouses work so well together to grow reach, engagement and bring in new leads. It’s hard to imagine doing one without the other! This can kick-start your marketing, just like bacon and eggs are the way many kick-start the day!
Video in any form is captivating audiences and earning social eyeballs. Whether you’re creating video slideshows, going live, producing video from your desktop or shooting 360 video on your travels, the organic reach is good. But put some marketing budget into a well-place ad and you’ll find an invaluable way to stand out.
Here’s some high-level tips and tricks for your Video Ads:
- Create different target audiences for different video topics. If your video is about cruising, create your audience to reach people who are interested in cruising. This may be a different audience make up than people who are interested in Italy by land.
- Ensure your videos are short, fun and include captions. Many people play video without the sound, so grab attention by being animated, using props and adding captions. Remember your backdrop and props help you tell your story without saying a word.
- Express your brand with these tips:
Branding & Video
