Make your own holiday!
Name 2-3 days of the week & commit to a series. Months of content can be collected in one shoot!
Examples:
#TourTuesday – Use footage of your office/campus and narrow in on very specific features like artwork, statues, plaques, windows with nice views, students/employees enjoying themselves, items on employee’s desks
#FAQFriday – Use the most frequently asked questions from questions to create an informative series with answers. You can interview employees or just put the answers in the text in the video!
#WarehouseWednesday – You may think the warehouse is your business’s ugly, uninteresting side. Still, we can almost guarantee social media consumers would LOVE to see what’s happening at your company beyond the shiny, edited footage we usually see.
Behind the Scenes like they’ve never seen!
Show the daily grind of the office that brings viewers into your world and makes the boring, every day exciting!
Examples:
Pack With Us – For retailers, jump on the ASMR trend and show your product being shipped to real customers. People love to see what happens after they swipe their cards. If you want to go the extra mile, take a moment to thank the customer!
Work Environment – 15 minutes of footage around your office can give a great glimpse into what it’s like to work at your company. If you’re looking to hire, or looking to let customers in on what your employees do in a day, set up some cameras for a day.
Product, Product, Product – Take videos of your product from EVERY angle. Capture it upside down, backwards, zoomed in, zoomed WAY in, and spinning. What does the label look like? How does it look on a couple different backgrounds or in different light settings? This footage can be used in more ways than we can count!
Repurpose Old Footage
You can save yourself a lot of time, money, and sweat by taking a look at what you already have at your disposal. Did you really utilize that old footage as much as you could have? Let’s find out!
Examples:
#ThrowbackThursday – Compare your old branding to the new, show pictures and videos of previous significant employees or stakeholders, remind viewers of initial product renditions and how far you’ve come now! This gives your audience a chance to cheer on your progress as a company!
