Social media tools may or may not be the best thing for your marketing plan. But when planning your next Facebook video, consider these tips and techniques. The general idea of a video is to understand and address the needs and interests of your audience. If you don’t have a clear and detailed image of the audience, all the advice and tips will fail. So, with that in mind, here are the essential ingredients of the most effective Facebook videos: DO NOT TRADE QUALITY FOR EASE: A very big catch is that FB has made their platform exceptionally easy to use. Posting videos is a quick two-click process, and if you’re not careful, your video will paint you and your organization as a low-quality service. People have become sophisticated spectators and realize when the product is done to the races. It’s better to ask for professional help, even if the video is only a few seconds long, than to alienate or disappoint your audience with something of poor quality. Yes, you have to invest in it. THE FIRST SECONDS ARE THE THOSE THAT COUNT THE MOST: The best videos are short and to the point. Approximately two minutes maximum. Your audience is fickle and easily distracted. If you don’t grab and hold their attention right away (the first 30 seconds or less) they probably won’t even see the whole thing. Keeping interest high from the beginning with creativity and something for them is your best weapon. SET EXPECTATIONS: Unexpected or unsolicited video messages can be ignored with a swipe of your finger. Give the viewer one or two short lines of explanation or context that will hook them into watching the first few seconds. And with luck, you’re going to catch them. Even a brief teaser, title, or comment can start to form expectations and keep people on their toes until they get to the end. EEC If your video is not interesting, it is useless. And, yes, commercial messages can be interesting when they also provide an extra benefit to the viewer. Use this short list and consider how content Educates, Entertains and Engages. Without one or more of these elements, there is probably no one watching the video. THINK ABOUT C-T-A: Good construction begins with the end in mind. What do you want the visitor/viewer to do? Unfortunately, you can forget the important step that is the Call To Action. Fortunately, Facebook provides a CTA button that, for example, connects a FB visitor to your website. Visitor action button is one of the most important components, including “Contact Us”, “Buy Now”, “Register”, “Book Now” and etc. If you make a list for your video and check off each of the things presented here, you can be sure that you are going to get a big surprise with your videos.
