Say you've got a marketing video that's 2 minutes long. It's really important that people see it but when it comes time to promote it on Facebook™ and other social media, you're hit with a dilemma:
The recommended length for any ad is 15-30 seconds.
This is why some companies are thinking ahead of the curve. Creating a 'hook' snippet of your video allows you to turn your video into it's own mini-funnel.
1. The prospect watches a 15-30 second 'hook' snippet of your video that encourages them to learn more, accompanied by a 'watch more' button:
2. The prospect clicks through to a custom-made landing page with a longer version of the video that funnels them to the call-to-action:
3. The 2 videos combine to make the full 2-minute video (in this case used on the homepage):
By creating a 'hook' snippet of your video, you can have your cake and eat it too - instead of either an ad or a 2 minute video, you're doing both. Not only will the prospect engage with your entire message step-by-step, but they will be funneled to your website in the process. This maximizes your chances of converting your viewers to customers.
