More social media?
No surprise ... and one of the latest ones that can help bring your business quick and easy video sharing is Tout.
Tout is a venue to use real-time video to update and share as well as connect with your audience in an easy, cost effective manner - why not use it?
Who should be using Tout?
Businesses, large and small, can benefit from using Tout.
It's used to share video, kind of a combo of Twitter and YouTube. The format is a 15 second video clip where you can post a video update, share an important moment (pictures can speak more than words, you know) and campaign for your cause.
Tout can benefit anyone looking to share news of a business, and it can aid in any marketing campaign. Bottom line, it's easy and efficient.
Followers?
Yes, with Tout, you have followers and can follow as well, just like Facebook and Twitter.
In fact, it's recommended to use the same user name on Tout and Twitter so that when your Tout is mentioned on Twitter, it will link to you.
It's also easier for your Twitter friends and followers to find you (and the other way around). And, with more than 19 million users (many of these businesses), you're sure to get some good exposure.
Video vs. Character updates
We've got character updates with Twitter, photo updates with Instagram, a combo with Facebook, but video speaks volumes.
If someone is actually speaking an update, it can have much more impact and emotion. Think about the ambiguity of text ... you don't get the true feel or excitement.
With real time video, marketing can take on a whole new feel. Through the website and mobile apps (iPhone and Android), the videos can be uploaded and ready for viewing in less than 30 seconds.
Other video sharing social media
Yes, there are other forums to share social media video, but Tout is the one that can give you 15 second pieces, the prime amount of time to get your point across.
What can you publish?
Virtually anything you want (except for lewd and/or indecent video) to promote your business.
Think testimonials, product launches, sponsorships and viewer engagement. The possibilities are endless and whether you yourself are taking this on or your social media/marketing director, you'll be see an outpouring results and opportunities in this new way to reach your audience.
Social media moves fast, there's always a new venue coming out and gaining popularity.
You don't want your business to be left behind, and video sharing is definitely here.
