Five Vine Tips For Your Business

With so many different social platforms to play with in your marketing strategy, it's hard to focus and figure out how to utilize each one. There are many brands out there creating a huge buzz in the Vine and social-sphere, for example Oreo and Target. Both brands have honed in on their message and how to best use Vine.

The big question is how to get your message down to six seconds. It sounds daunting and unimaginable but quite possible. 

1. Think outside of the box.
This is your chance to have fun and come up with a great video that challenges your creative skills. Have fun with the video looping!

2. How-To style
There are a lot of brands that are making waves with using Vine as a way to show quick DIY videos. As I mentioned above, Oreo has created some intriguing videos. One in particular was the Vine post on how to make Oreo Freeze Pops.

3. Use Vine to announce products or events.
For example, if the business is a bakery, try making a Vine video of the dessert of the day.

4. Don't forget to share your Vine on Facebook and Twitter.
Vine now has 40 million users but they still aren't as frequented as Facebook or Twitter. Give your video a longer lifeline by sharing it.

5. Embed your Vine video on your site.
After you have shared it on Facebook and Twitter, you can grab the embed code and insert it into your blog or website.
