Like many of you, I have been amazed by the incredible growth of social likes Instagram and Pinterest. To see that Instagram, after only two years, has maxed Twitter in the number of active daily users, almost has me worried. I write for a living, therefore I am measured on to provide quality, searchable content for clients. When tools like Instagram and Pinterest enjoy forceful growth ordinary small amount of time it makes me wonder if i should look into video design coursework. Already I have task of capturing a person's attention with just one hundred and forty characters per update, and now I need to take on images that go viral in seconds because a person only has to hit a like or share button on a phone to create more awareness.
As i continue my work with Facebook, too, I notice the shift in reach on business pages. Where a text-only update may cause a certain number of individuals reached (this is without paying Facebook to enhance posts), the audience grows when you post images, and potential growth occurs when people think that photo is worth sharing. On the news feed, not a day passes by where I don't see at least one friend sharing something George Takei has posted on his page. With close to three million fans on Facebook, Takei uses his social media savvy to some extent for promotion and activism, but often his daily schedule involves sharing a humorous video. As i scroll down the screen, many have been shared tens of thousands of times. Takei is not the only person doing this on Facebook, either. Oreo enjoyed a lengthy campaign of tongue in cheek photos using cookies to honor historic events and achievements. Despite a Internet flare-up involving a obserwujący instagram candy bar with rainbow filling to observe GLBT pride, Oreo likely received a substantial MOTOROLA ROI
Can you imagine if you posted an email on a social network that received that kind of attention? Look around, and you'll see businesses are tuning in to what folks are sharing and how they are using social media now. Businesses have Pinterest and Instagram accounts, and many distribute sq graphics that may be perfectly shared through the former networks. All it takes is for anyone to find the video worthy of showing off, and you have a chance for promotion that works alone.
Now, while images is important in selling product and getting attention, recent changes in social media plead with the question of whether or not we should completely change marketing strategies and focus entirely on pictures. Video design will always play a large role in marketing, but good copy sells as well. Images can bring to mind feeling and show you something you want or need, but words to back up guarantees and highlights strengths are just as important. Photos are susceptible to multiple interpretations, where words deliver information.
You should definitely consider how your company can use graphic-intensive tools like Instagram and Pinterest to generate attention, but don't discount the ability of the pencil, or keyboard.
