Focus on Your Business Model
Is your company business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C). Forbes recommends for B2C companies, Facebook and Instagram which can help gain visibility, visually engage and interact with customers. For B2B, LinkedIn helps target current and potential clients and builds a personal connection. Every business should use YouTube to interact and share. That means you need video content and a production company is the place to turn.
Consider Client Demographics
What do you know about your customers? Are they old, young, male, female? Do your research, then you'll be able to narrow down your platform and find the most beneficial one to pursue. Don't spread yourself too thin by trying to manage multiple platforms at once. - Amanda Dalrymple, Amanda Dalrymple Designs

Tips for creating successful social media videos:
● Eye Catching
The video needs to stop the viewer from scrolling. Bright colors and high quality images help. BIG text graphics are often beneficial as many people see your video, but may never hear it.
● Short
The shorter the video, the better on social media.
● On Trend
Use current graphic styles, layouts, emojis and more to keep up to date with the social media trends.
