Vine and Its Use in Internet Marketing

If making meaningful marketing maxims in 140 characters or less is easy – or even manageable – then chances are you use Twitter for your social media marketing in Fremont or other area. Some prefer to promote their product or service in a more visual manner. For these people, Twitter has created Vine – an app for video sharing that allows videos of up to six seconds long.
If six seconds sounds like an incredibly short amount of time, well, it is. Still, it might be a surprise to discover just how much information can be included in a six-second video. When deciding whether to include a Vine account in your social media marketing campaign, consider how it can help and how to best use it.
Try describing your product or service. Take a video of the attempt and look for ways to make it fill the time allotted without going over. Does something need to be left out? Should some other information be added? Does the summary include all the information that a potential client needs to know? Can the product be demonstrated instead? It could be fun to make an instructional video instead of simply informational.
Be creative. While six seconds is pretty short, so is 140 characters, but that can be made to work for you, and so can this. Get the most computer-literate people in the company to make suggestions on how to promote the product or service in the time allowed. They might surprise everyone with their genius.
Consider a video coupon. Let followers know that if they watch the video, they will be able to claim a discount using a phrase or code that is given in the video.
Facebook took over Instagram, which had been usable by Twitter users but now is exclusive to Facebook users only. Vine could fill the gap Twitter users no longer have available to them. Mini-videos could be a fun alternative and, when done right, an excellent tool for internet marketing through social media.
Check into doing candid interviews. Employees can help with this one, if they are willing. Use smartphones to record random people’s reaction to the company’s products or services. The testimonials can be enlightening and useful. If the company decides to use the videos online, it is important to get written permission from those in the video before posting it.
The sooner your company becomes involved in Vine, the more you will be ahead of the competition. There are over 140 million Twitter users. Vine is a new thing and will put any company using it ahead of the pack.
Do not be afraid to branch out into new technology. Play with it, learn from it, and use it. Encourage employees to use it (within reasonable parameters, when it affects the company). It can be an invaluable part of social media marketing in Fremont.
