Tips for Leveraging Video and Social Media to Sell

1. Just Start 

Creating videos and posting them to social media can be more than simply engaging with friends and family.

Strategically, you can use social media channels for businesses to leverage as additional avenues to reach their potential and current customers. Begin by simply doing.

Have a service or product you want to offer?

Make a video explaining how your offering creates value for your customers!

Whether it's brand awareness or sending proposals, this creates more engagement for prospects to flow down the funnel. 

Pro-tip: Platforms such as Vidyard make creating videos as simple as pressing a button and can be directly shared to your social channels to save you time, hassle, and cloud storage space. Keep reading to find out more about Vidyard!

Don't have the basic social channels yet?

Create them!

Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram are great channels to begin sharing your business content.

Pro-tip: link your social media on your company website and in your email signature to help your audience view your channels.

2. Keep It Real 

Behind every piece of content lies real people with real lives outside of work, so let those characteristics, personalities, and passions add color to what you create.

• Be Relatable: By being relatable, you're building a connection with your audience and helping them interact with your business in a more personal way, ultimately leading to a better client relationship.

• Be Intentional: Be intentional about what content you're sharing by asking yourself what is the objective. Consider what you aim to achieve with your post, whether it's increasing brand awareness, driving traffic to your website, or engaging with your audience on a deeper level.

3. Build Up Your Followers 

What's the easiest method to achieve this? It's as simple as asking!

Take advantage of the features on each social media channel that allow you to invite individuals to like your page or share your content. By doing so, you're not only expanding your reach but also enhancing brand visibility and generating more impressions for your posts.

Additionally, incorporating relevant hashtags aligned with the content you're sharing can further promote your channels and pique the interest of potential followers in your business offerings. Utilizing strategic hashtags tailored to your industry or niche can significantly boost your social media presence and attract a targeted audience eager to engage with your content.

4. Engage Others In Your Industry

Network with your industry remotely! It's not all about leading with the sale, but instead about fostering relationships. 

Interacting with other companies' social media and creating videos that show your non-verbals help communicate your genuine interest in providing solutions. 

Utilizing video is also an effective way to educate and teach your audience efficiently.

For both external clients and internal team members, you can make a two-minute video answering questions, instead of typing an entire novel in an email. It saves both you and your viewer time and creates a more lasting impact.
