Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon. Im Larry Markovitz. I’ve worked in the digital media and marketing space since 2000 and I have worked on brands such as Apple, Colgate and SAP and I am a video and mobile marketing enthusiast.
- This year there will be 89 million US Smartphone Video Viewers and by 2018 there will be 125 million. That said, Video is an area of immense, yet relatively untapped potential.
- Online video viewers are almost three times more likely to click through to a brand’s website from their smartphone or tablet than their laptop or desktop computer.
- The 3 main platform for mobile video are Vine, Instagram and YouTube. Vine and Instagram being newer on the scene but gaining a lot of traction. YouTube Capture launched in 2012, Instagram launched 2010 and their mobile video application in June 2013 while Vine just launched in August of 2013. So in a brief amount of time, these two newer platforms are gaining momentum.
- This is how the 3 platforms stack up. Vine is all about adding content to the appropriate channel category, Instagram is all about #hashtags and youtube is great for SEO as your videos maybe displayed in the universal search – all platforms have one main thing in common which is engaging with the community and being authenticNote: Note: Instagram allows you to delete the most recent clip you took.
- What are people watching?Since consumers trust their peers and want to hear their genuine opinions, videos created by customers will often have more impact than brand-made videos. With that said e-commerce companies can make a greater effort to obtain and incorporate UGC into their websites. The use of video on e-commerce sites can boost conversion ratesand engagement. Brands can use instagram, vine and youtube embed to place on their ecommerce site and act as UGC or reviews. Now you have video testimonials
- US Small Business Are Not Seeing Value in Mobile VideoThey are not using YouTube to Promote Their BusinessThey are not using Instagram to Promote Their BusinessThey are not using Vine to Promote Their BusinessOn average, 66% of small businesses are not seeing the value in mobile videoWhy? Let’s look at some businesses that are doing right.
- Let’s first look at a real success story on YouTube
- Just the past week, The Fashion Industry was abuzz as the video, First Kiss, created on a shoestring budget of $1300 a 3.5 minute video for a small clothing company Wren. In 4 days it went viral with about 42million youtube views. Industry experts are suggesting that it could force major designers to think more expansively about how to advertise future collections. Wren received better exposure in the video than an actual show at Fashion Week. Why it worked? It felt real and sincere – it resonated with people. Wren’s online sales were up and the song track used sold 10,000 copies. This is a true testament to why businesses can’t ignore this new form of marketing. While this was not done on YouTube capture, it shows the real business power of a engaging video.
- Instagram started as a photo sharing mobile app, and 9 months ago they introduced mobile video (June 2013)
- Here, The Hundreds, a California clothing company, is producing 15 second teasers called “Behind the Shirt” where they entice you to go to their blog to hear the full story on how the artist creates a design for their T-shirt collection. This is a creative way of using Instagram micro-video to send traffic to your business.
- Let’s look at a business that is capitalizing on Vine - the first exclusive mobile micro video site.
- Urban Outfitters, an early adopter of Twitter's Vine app, teamed up with Converse for a contest offering a cross-country trip for the best Vine that documents "a day in the life of your Converse sneakers.” Customers created 6 second videos on where they go with their Converse All Stars This is a great example for how to successfully generate User Generated Content for your brand.
- So what’s the secret to being successful with micro-video in 2014? There are several different strategies and tactics to employ

- UK-based online-only retailer ASOS used Vine to put a clever spin on the limits of online shopping. A survey conducted found that customers prefer the in-store shopping experience over that of online shopping. Trying clothes on, bringing your friends, and seeing window displays are what make shopping fun. Getting a brown box on your doorstep, somehow, just isn't as glamorous. So ASOS took to Vine to spice up the online shopping experience by showing how gratifying opening up a box can really be. --- Creating the excitement of opening a package. 1.
