Facebook has released a fun new video feature – banner videos. Banner videos are a creative way to make an engaging cover video for your page, which will replace your cover photo. The video will be visible to anyone who views your page. Your banner video can be anywhere from 20 seconds to 90 seconds, depending upon how much information you want to convey or content and products you wish to spotlight. More than just a cool new feature, the banner video cover allows you to showcase your products or services in motion, thereby grabbing a potential customer’s attention right way. Like a cover photo, banner videos can be changed to the products and services you wish to highlight at any given time. Take a look at how using Facebook’s new banner video feature on your Facebook page can benefit your business.
Increases Customer Engagement
We live in an era where information is literally at our fingertips. Because of this, customers want information quickly, and don’t want to spend a lot of their time to get it.
This is why video is a perfect solution. A great banner video will grab and hold your customer’s attention, while simultaneously explaining your products and services. When you stop to consider that customers spend an average of 2.6x more time on pages with video than without, you begin to see just how powerful a tool video can be.
Increases Revenue
Why is video so important and how does it increase your revenue? Recent statistics show that customers are 64-85% more likely to buy a service or product after watching a promotional video.
People prefer watching a video to reading, and a video allows them to see the product in action. It is also important to note that businesses that employ videos have customers who stay on their sites longer and those same customers visit twice as many pages, resulting in more sales with higher profit margins.
Crafting the Perfect Video
Because your Facebook Banner Video is the first thing that customers will see when they visit your page, it is essential that your video be engaging, entertaining, and informative. If your video doesn’t capture the attention of the person viewing it, he or she is unlikely to explore the rest of your page. At aideM Media, we can help you carefully construct the perfect video for your business. Telling a better story through video is our passion, and there is no better story to tell than yours.
