Videos for Social Media
Why Videos Are Essential for Social Media
If you’ve scrolled through Instagram, TikTok, or even LinkedIn lately, you’ve probably noticed one thing: video dominates. Social platforms are rewarding short, engaging, and story-driven content more than ever before. For businesses, creators, and brands, this means one thing—video is no longer optional, it’s essential.
At All in One Productions, we see firsthand how powerful video can be in helping businesses cut through the noise online. Whether you’re looking to build awareness, drive sales, or showcase your brand’s personality, social media video is one of the most effective tools available today.
Why Video Works So Well on Social Media
Algorithms Favour It
Platforms like Instagram and TikTok push video content to the top of feeds and discovery pages, making it more likely your audience will actually see your content.
People Retain It
Research shows viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to only 10% when reading text. That means your story sticks longer and stronger.
It Builds Trust Quickly
Seeing real people, products, and behind-the-scenes moments creates an authentic connection with your audience that static images simply can’t match.
Types of Social Media Videos That Perform
Not every video has to be a cinematic production—but it should be crafted with intention. Here are some formats that consistently perform well:
Short-form Reels & TikToks: Bite-sized content that entertains, educates, or inspires in under a minute.
Explainer Clips: Quick demos or how-tos that highlight the value of your product or service.
Behind-the-Scenes: Authentic, casual footage that humanizes your brand.
Testimonials & Case Studies: Real people sharing real stories builds credibility.
Event Highlights: Capture the energy of launches, conferences, or community events in a way photos can’t.
Best Practices for Social Media Video
To maximize your impact, keep these tips in mind:
Hook in the first 3 seconds: Grab attention right away.
Keep it short: Under 60 seconds usually performs best.
Add captions: 80% of users watch with the sound off.
Stay on-brand: Keep a consistent look and feel so your audience recognizes you instantly.
Plan for mobile: Vertical, full-screen formats are now the standard.
