In addition to giving access to typical video options like play, rewind, pause, fast forward, and stop, viewers can do much more to enrich the online experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are ways to incorporate interactive video content:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Create personalized quizzes &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people are fans of personalized content because they find it relatable. Their likelihood of answering <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/paperform.co\/blog\/quiz-funnel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personalized quizzes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is significantly higher compared to generic quizzes.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Present simple product voting polls &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out reviews and perform other social listening methods to determine what people think of your business. Then, supplement this information with a poll of your own.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Host product-related contests &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">design quizzes or trivia games and let there be a winner. This activity makes people feel they have an important role in your video, while rewarding them with an opportunity to feel victorious.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Target TOFU Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As discussed earlier, each customer is on their unique customer journey. And as you acknowledge that, consider paying closer attention to your preferred audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommended audience for Facebook videos? People at the TOFU stage. They\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/blog\/tabid\/6307\/bid\/30901\/30-thought-provoking-lead-nurturing-stats-you-can-t-ignore.aspx?__hstc=126677522.6c7a29e5d7e83abb1679d6e5c5dbd55a.1644369358905.1644369358905.1644369358905.1&amp;__hssc=126677522.1.1644369358906&amp;__hsfp=2675054032\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">among the 50%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who aren\u2019t ready to move forward <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why explainer and how-to videos are ideal for them. Video voicemails and introductory videos from a sales representative are good, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason to target the TOFU audience is that people at this stage don\u2019t know anything about your product <\/span><b><i>yet<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But bringing attention and awareness to your business can change that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are tips on how to target the TOFU audience:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Help address and fix problems &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> acknowledge issues and provide concise instructions on how to resolve them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Create infotainment &#8211; <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">people get bored quickly. And more so if they have zero clues about your business.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Show user-generated video content &#8211;<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they\u2019re the right fit for social media because they raise the public\u2019s knowledge of your business. They allow people to talk, post, and socialize, and all their activities revolve around your video.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Retarget Facebook Video Viewers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your TOFU audience is all lined up to watch your videos, why not maximize the results? If your Facebook videos have lots of views, you have access to useful insights, for example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demographics of the people who watched your video.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time people spend on your video.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3842881\/d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13\" class=\"hs-cta-img aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3842881\/d0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13.png\" alt=\"Start analyzing your Facebook videos\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3842881, 'd0fbba22-20fe-4011-a953-ce292d4f8b13', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These insights are important because they allow you to use the power of retargeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can retarget the people who watched about 75% of your video. If people already invested in \u00be of your video, it means they\u2019re partially interested in your offer. By showing them your video again, you can lead them to the next stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If people can\u2019t understand your product, service, or your business concept, they\u2019re not about to convert. And if there\u2019s plenty of fish in the sea (your competitors), they\u2019re likely to go with them instead. Unless of course, you\u2019ll streamline your Facebook video strategy and change their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2005, Youtube&#8217;s startling rise to fame reshaped the digital marketing game.
