In 2020, video is the most preferred form of content, with about 78% of people watching online videos every week and 55% watching every day.

Last week, we looked at some of the best video content ideas. Here are 5 more types of video content you can use to drive engagement on social media.
Take Your Customers Behind The Scenes
People like to get a glimpse into the backstage operations of a business because it makes them feel important, as though they’ve gotten hold of “classified” information”. This makes them feel emotionally connected to the brand and raise their interest in the products or services the brand is offering. If you’re developing something new, share a bit of it with your audience to capture their interest.Before And After
Before and after pictures are one of the best motivators for buying a product. They are even more powerful when incorporated with video marketing although they are better suited for certain kinds of products such as beauty and wellness products, client’s projects, renovations, and some other services. To give your audience a good perspective of what they would get if they patronised you, post a ‘before and after’ video of what your products or services have helped to accomplish.Tell Stories
