Have you got your 2018 video marketing strategy all figured out?

If not, don’t stress! We have you covered with a few simple ideas on how to implement video content as part of your plan for the next 12 months.

1. Instagram stories

If you think Instagram is just for teenagers think again. It’s fast becoming the quickest and most effective way to reach potential customers, especially those who already follow your brand on social media.

Simply grab your phone and talk to camera about what’s happening with your business. Avoid long rambling clips and try to alternate between still images to keep your viewer interested.

Remember, everyone loves a good Boomerang too!

2. Facebook live

Live streaming might sound like a lot of work, but the nature of the medium means that it requires no editing skills whatsoever.

Simply use your webcam or set up your phone on a basic tripod, pick a topic and get streaming.

3. Vlogging

If you want to give your customers a sneak peek behind the scenes then vlogging will work for you.

It’s perfect for novices because it’s essentially like a video diary that lends itself to an authentic style of filmmaking.
