People really like a good visual; photos, infographics, even illustrations sprinkled into text can get people to pay closer attention to what it is you’re saying. Here’s picture of cute, cuddly bunnies to illustrate my point:
Gosh they’re cute! Now, back to what I was trying to convey. If static pics are attention-getters, imagine how much more notice you’ll get with video – and not just video embedded in your blog (which you can do with mailVU’s Business Plan!) mailVU’s video links can be shortened to include in your social media channels:

What kind of videos can be embedded in social media channels? Just about any videos! Here are some examples to get the creativity flowing:
- How-to videos – Offer quick demonstrations on how to best use an item you offer. Don’t just tell people how to use your stuff, show them!
- Introductions – Got a sales crew you want to introduce to the world? With ‘meet our staff’ intros you may showcase their bios on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Employees may also place their video bios on their individual social media accounts.
- About our company profiles – Use video to offer a brief history of your company and its values and commitment to customer service.
- Special offers – Place videos on your socmed sites when you have a limited time offer you want to share. For instance, one of my favorite cupcake bakeries reduces their prices once a week and sends out emails letting customers know. They could shoot a quick video of the day’s cupcake flavors and put them on their Twitter or Facebook page!
- Outtakes from around the office to humanize your brand – For the most part, your employees aren’t tied to their desks all day, every day, especially in creative fields. Using mailVU’s free video sharing apps for iPhone/iPad and Android, you can shoot video of the fun times the people who keep your office running are having. If you have our Business Plan, you can get links to place the videos within social media.
With so many social media sites to spread the word about your business, video provides a fantastic way to offer dynamic visuals to keep people interested in all you do. Take a look at our online video platform at mailVU.com and if you have any other questions contact us at info@mailVU.com.
