If you have recently logged in to the desktop version of Facebook to work on your Facebook page, you will probably have noticed that you can now upload a 20 – 90 second video as a page cover.
You can fit a surprising amount of content into just 20 seconds, and you don’t need major editing skills, a particularly vivid imagination or a massive budget. Even the smallest of companies could quickly and easily create a showcase video using a simple slideshow.
I am really excited by this as the possibilities appear endless! A million ideas are flying through my head as I type of what I can do for our clients that span a wide range of sectors!
Here are some ideas of how a simple slideshow video could work for you:
For everyone and everything:
- Share testimonials for your company.
- Share images of work you have carried out – this could be beneficial to anyone, from ‘one man band’ carpet fitters to large design agencies.
- Share key insights relevant to your target audience.
More specifically:
Designer of… anything (websites, logos, leaflets)?
Showcase work you’ve previously completed, ensuring you cover everything from the professional and ‘plain’ to the exciting and ‘quirky’.
Have a wide range of products?
You could have these scrolling along the top of your page.
Are you an events Company?
Use pictures of your biggest and most elaborate events. Use this opportunity to really showcase what you can do.
Photographer?
If you cover various photography types, this is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate this.
Run frequent competitions?
What better way to grab the attention of your page’s visitors?!
Have multiple offers?
Make sure your slides are vibrant and eye catching so it’s easy to decipher one from another.
Targeting corporate?
Show off those big name brands you already work with!
Have a tech product?
Let people see it working.
Recruiting?
Scroll through the best paid vacancies you currently have.
We’d love to know how you plan to use the new video feature, and of course, if you need any help!
