How's it going so far for you?

We have, and it's an on-and-off thing. I believe it really depends on yo ur  target audience and whether short-form videos are their type of content.

If you are building anything retail, it's the best option currently available, because of the audience.

What I've come to understand is that most of your B2B audience also uses Reels or TikToks, but they do so for different reasons compared to the average 18-25 market. As a result, even though they might be there, they might avoid content pointed at them, specifically because they go to those platforms to "run away" from all the commitment of the other platforms.

People go to certain platforms for certain reasons, and if you can understand your market and why they go to those platforms, which is also ties to when they go to those platforms, you'll be able to create the type of content needed for them in that state.

An example: Most professionals go to TikTok and Reels during their work breaks and after work, meaning there is probably a sense of decision and work related fatigue, so they might avoid watching business related content and need more entertainment related content.

I’ve tried them, and they’ve worked wonders for engagement. If you’re on the fence, I’d say give it a shot you might be surprised by the results.

We still doing it.

Usually using UGC creators showing the product in use and showing main benefits.

And even with personal branding it works good because you can deliver story in a Short form. – Which can be hard for storytelling to stay brief.

But you can increase trust of people for your brand.

Yeah, I've dabbled a bit with Reels on Instagram. It's been a mixed bag, to be honest. Some posts really take off and get tons of engagement, while others just kinda flop. I think it’s all about finding the right content that resonates with your audience. Still learning the ropes, but it’s definitely worth the effort for visibility. What about you, have you tried it out?
