If you’re not producing video for social media, now might be the time to get started. Or at least this is the advice that online marketing Jayson DeMers is offering.
“I have seen brands use video and micro video to tremendous advantage, to put out content that is very shareable and very popular with social audiences on Facebook, Twitter and Google+”, DeMers says. “When executed well, micro video is a very effective marketing tactic.”
The social media landscape is evolving rapidly, and therefore, your social media marketing strategy cannot remain static. Instead, it’s important to re-evaluate the business goals, social media campaigns, platform results and revise your strategy at least once a year — if not quarterly. Being aware of trends in the social sphere can help you design better strategies, apply the most effective tactics and choose where to invest your staff as well as financial resources.
A prediction that Jayson DeMers is making for 2014 is that the visual content will win.
The average social media channel is estimated to have 63 percent imagery elements. Therefore, visual platforms are having an important and increasing role in the social media for businesses. According to a study, 29% of Pinterest users bought an item after posting and re-pinning it on the network.
Another element to keep in mind is the fact that the video content has never been hotter, even more now due to the addition of distribution networks, such as Vine and Instagram featuring micro videos. And we can’t forget about infographics, as they are another effective promotion tool for businesses with both a bounty of data and absorbing stories to tell.
Maybe not every platform will be right, but spending the time to find the visual angle to your business’ story and experimenting with different content formats can help revitalize your social media marketing strategy.
