How much information can you get into six seconds? You're probably thinking, "not much". I think that if you put on your thinking cap and start brainstorming, you'll come up with quite a few things you can do and say in six seconds.
Consider this...you take your iPhone, iPad or other handheld device with you everywhere you go, right? Think of how valuable these tools become as a promotional device. You can create quick videos that can immediately be shared online.
Vine.co is a fairly new company that offers a free app that allows you to create unlimited looping videos and upload them to their online social site at no cost to you. Even the app is free. It's owned by Twitter, the 140 character people.
Vine is kind of like YouTube without all the editing and long upload times. It's all done in one easy step. And, you can post it to your Facebook and Twitter feed. Hopefully, other social media will come onboard in the near future.
So, how can you use it as a promotional tool for your business? Here's a few ideas:
- Testimonials of happy homeowners in front of their new home
- New listings - focusing on a special feature of the property
- How to videos; preparing your home for sale, curb appeal, getting ready to move, etc.
- Show off your community events, restaurants, schools, etc.
- Ask questions and then send them to a landing page where you can capture their contact information
- Create a survey where you can send prospects to your landing page
I'd love to hear how you use Vine for your business now or ideas you have for using it in the future.
