Videos are a great way to let your followers see the people and processes behind the business, contributing to your brand’s transparency. Brands can show customers exactly who they are, what they stand for and where they’re headed. Brands can use video to show personality, reframe existing narratives and even reposition themselves as a company. 

 

Behind the scene videos are a fantastic tool to engage and connect with your audience. Showing the behind the scenes of your business makes you relatable, approachable, and more human. While also showing the hard work and fun that goes into making the business how it is. However, if you post only business-related content, people that engage with you will start to tune out of your content as it is not diverse, human or entertaining enough.

Studies show that 55% of consumers watch videos before making a purchasing decision. When users have an opportunity to see products being used through videos, there’s a higher chance that they will actually buy it.
