People love animated video stories about a product or service, and 90% of users say it has been helpful in making a buying decision.
Facebook keeps growing and growing and the days of putting a static picture of your or service in a static Ad box online on a website are becoming less and less efficient. If you can craft and tell a compelling story around your product or service, you are far more likely to convert someone to buy your product or service over the competition.
People love stories and when it comes to video advertising, Facebook prefers ads that have little text and those that tell your brand story in a fun and immersive way. As a high percentage of Facebook users browse with their mobile or tablet device, you need to distract their attention with something eye-catching and different with your video.
When it comes to choosing your Facebook audience, picking one that is highly relevant to your Ad Campaign is crucial for success. People respond best when you are showing them an animated Facebook video that ‘speaks’ to them.
The sharing of social media content has never been more essential. For example, someone may have seen your video advert and then goes on to share it with their friend network. When their friends see it, it sends a compelling message that that person who shared it is effectively ‘voting’ for the Facebook video, product or service. It is then highly likely that if your video is well-received that these friends of friends will, in turn, go on to share it as a high proportion of them could share a similar demographic, increasing the likelihood of further sharing.
You can then use Facebook remarketing to keep your message and video in front of the people that have already shown an interest in it. Sounds complicated? It is easier than you think and we can help, plus the Facebook Blueprint gives a good overview.
People are more likely to pay attention to content that is more relevant to their interests, and as a result, you will get better results if you customise your video ad message to that audience. Consider creating separate and unique explainer videos (or variations of the same video) for different demographic Facebook audiences.
The key to Facebook advertising is that it is distractive advertising. People are on Facebook for ‘downtime’ and not mentally in heavy-decision making mode. Entertain them and grab their interest with a short and to-the-point video and try and keep it to 60 seconds or less.
Tip: Remember that as Facebook videos play by default with the sound off your animated video should still grab attention even muted. By default, someone has to un-mute a video, and it is crucial that it has an impact and makes the viewer want to listen to it with the sound turned on and then watch the whole clip.
Don’t forget it is essential to draw people into your Facebook video as early as possible because people make a decision quickly when it comes to ‘thumb stopping’ when scrolling through their newsfeed.
A strong call-to-action telling the viewer what you want them to do after clicking, whether that is signing up or buying your product or service, joining your newsletter or sharing your video to their friends is essential.
