Marketers pay close attention to different social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Linked In, Twitter for promoting brands and products. They thoroughly monitor their competitors using reverse engineering and copy topics, themes, and information available. Furthermore, prepare a list of distribution channels on which competitors are active and try to gather the report of the response they are getting through reviews and suggestions.
Everybody wants to do better and a step ahead of its competitors. Hence, the ultimate goal is to make interesting videos with real up-to-date content, adding more value than that of competitors.
Don't overload the videos with a lot of information. Rather concentrate on an easy-to-understand format by putting diagrams, nice little outlines that flash from time to time, graphics, and sound cues & quality. Your viewer never should get bored or feel heavy.
