We also know that attention spans are at an all time low. You have a lot to compete with online and a short window to grab someone’s attention and convince them to learn more. That is why incorporating video into your social media planning is key. And, with so much content out there, people are used to high production value. Seeing quality video made in an interesting way.

Doing social media clips as teasers to get people to your site (where your full video lives) is huge. It’s a way to gain traction with your social media audience.
