This tip should help you create the kind of business videos that will stick to audiences over a longer period of time. This is post 2 of many of this series How To Best Tell Your Business Story Through Video Marketing.
Stick to the right length.
We’re sure you have so much that you want to say. But you’re trying to create a high-impact business video, not a documentary.
Video length actually depends on what platform you’re planning to use.
Instagram videos that average 30 seconds receive the most number of comments.
Twitter videos that make it as average 43 seconds.
Facebook videos that average 1 minute in length get the most engagement.
YouTube videos averaging 2 minutes in length see the best engagement.
Why are the average lengths different?
Because it’s a different audience for each unique platform. On Facebook, for example, every age range between 18 and 65 is well-represented. On SnapChat, however, 45% of its users are aged 18-24.
What about other platforms outside the social media spectrum?
Well, you’re still going after the same audience, right? So whether they’re viewing the video on a social media page or on your own website, their attention span will still be the same.
Besides, more people are on the go now, thus the huge growth in the mobile sector. You’d have to expect right away that people do not have all the time in the world. And even if they do, they know how much content is out there. You’d have to use up as little of their time as possible to deliver your content before they decide to jump to something else.
