Today’s Social Media Strategy requires consistent video marketing to create a connection and tell a multifaceted story that just words or audio can’t always accomplish. I’m joined today by Nina Froriep from Clock Wise Productions to discuss what it takes to drive a successful video marketing campaign for a small business, why you need to be creating video, and the biggest mistakes to avoid. 

Tips For A Social Media Strategy That Includes Successful Video Marketing Online

  • Shorter is better — 90 seconds is ideal for a marketing video.
  • Choosing a platform — First, find out where your potential audience goes for their information, then show up there.
  • Biggest video marketing mistakes — Inconsistency, investing in too much equipment, and being too high-concept.
  • People like real people — be authentic, talk about what you know, be consistent, and give potential customers a feel for what it might be like to work with you.
