What is a “Social Video”

What’s a “social video?” Marketers believe that social video is just a video that is shared on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Which isn’t wrong, but the most important factor is normally forgotten and that is the “social” part. In a video marketing strategy, social videos should be highly considered.

Businesses should start to think about social videos for a number of reasons. The Goal of Social Media Videos is to provide your viewers with interesting video content that grabs their attention and keeps them coming back for more.  These videos should engage your viewers, and create conversations that your business can benefit from. The great thing about social media is that you can create conversation about anything posted. The easiest way to create conversation with your viewers is by questioning them. If you have a series of videos, you should ask your viewers which videos they like the most. Or if you only have one video, ask them what they want to see next and make it happen. People love it when they are heard. Once viewers see you are engaging and listening to them, they are more likely to share your videos and increase your word of mouth marketing.
