Tips on Tuesday

Sometimes “short and sweet” is all you need!

Did you know 85% of Facebook videos are watched without sound? That means your immediate action needs to be to make your video offering compelling without audio.

Ensure any speech is subtitled – not only does this mean you can capture those watching in silence through choice, but also people with hearing impairments; accessibility of content is such good practice!

Make your videos short, fun and above all on brand, sharing your message by image only. Of course this is a challenge, but one that will be worth it!

Hands up who loves the thought of using video on your social media channels but never gets around to it?!  Did you know that 82% of global Internet traffic in 2022 came from video?

Short videos are a really great way to grab people’s attention on social media and drive interaction and conversation.  Social media success lies very much in your ability to share worthwhile content in small chunks, and videos should be no different.

Videos are a terrific way of increasing your brand exposure. After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine what a video could be worth?! Whilst you don’t need to spend a fortune on a professional video, you must make sure your images are sharp and the sound quality is good. You don’t want to damage your brand by sharing substandard content.

Videos can give your business some personality and allow viewers to see the people and processes behind your brand. Human interest can drive interaction in a much more positive way than purely sales-based posts.

Why not give yourself a challenge, pick up your video camera and get shooting!

In the past few weeks we’ve been discussing Inclusive Design and how your social strategy should always include a fully accessible user-experience.

We’ve long been an advocate of video content on your social profiles, but did you know to be fully accessible all your videos should be subtitled? 

Not only do subtitles create a user-friendly experience for people with hearing impairments, but they also enhance the viewing for people not watching in their native language or for people who are in sound-off environments. 

Imagine such a small change making your video accessible to so many more people!!
