OVER YEARS OF POSTING VIDEOS, we've noticed trends in what captures attention and what doesn't in Sponsored Videos.
|
Successful videos have included:
• Profiles of interesting installations where products were used • Technical demonstrations/tips for using products • Stories directly from customers • People talking to the camera instead of a voice-over |
Less successful videos have included:
• General company overviews • Anything that sounds like a commercial • A length more than 1 minute long |
Additional tips:
• The first frame of the video should be a compelling image (not your logo).
• Include a hook in first 3 seconds. FB auto-plays video as people scroll through their newsfeed—give a reason to stop and watch.
• Focus on one clear message and craft an attention-getting title.
• Include a clear call-to-action (e.g., visit our website, comment, click URL in description for more info)
• Keep it short. 60 seconds is great, 45 seconds is even better, 30 seconds or under is ideal!
• Keep it fun. Entertaining, funny or novel content generates the most engagement.
