6 Second Video? Can it work for you, some great examples.
Posted by Helen Tonetti
The new tool that I love is the ability to create 6 second video’s and use Vine to post them to Twitter and Facebook.
In my talk yesterday I spoke briefly about how some companies are already using this tool with great effect, here are a few ideas, followed with a quick how to Vine tips:
Show people what you do
A design company showed examples of packaging
Engage with questions
Ask a question, answer with a Vine Video
Meet the team, see who we are
Show them the team, ideal if you are trying to recruit new people
History of your business
Gap has a great video that shows the history of their jeans in 6 seconds, can you show your history, a brand you have worked with, results, … build credibility
Promote a presentation
Want to increase signups to your next webinar or get more subscribers to your podcast? An example is to use a sped up doodle on a whiteboard covering the topics.
Dale Strickland of Immoraleyes Photography can help with these videos, have a look at an example he made for a client that needed a video of a boiler being put together
