Best Practices
Video marketing can be a powerful tool. But, only if you keep a few things in mind during your video marketing campaign planning.
It’s not always a good idea to have your videos on autoplay. In fact, Chrome blocks autoplay ads. This is done to appease the 82% of consumers who dislike autoplay. And, videos under two minutes long get better engagement.
There’s a uniqueness between Facebook and Instagram videos. Most Facebook videos are watched without sound, while Instagram users watch with sound on.
While there are a few precautions you should take, basically, keep it short and no autoplay. Most users are not averse to being marketed with video. But, many small businesses don’t have the budget, time, or ability to create videos.
