Twitter Vine, a new mobile app that lets you capture life from your mobile device, can bring a breath of fresh air to your business by enticing your social media target audience with short six-second looping videos. Sharing video with Twitter followers and Facebook friends gives businesses one more opportunity to promote themselves, albeit short and simple like posting a Tweet. Nathan Ingraham at The Verge says, “tweets with videos work with full audio both in the browser and in the Twitter mobile app.” So what are some ways your business can use Twitter Vine?

1)   Get Your Followers Engaged In Conversation: Getting your followers talking with a Vine video.

2)   Find Advocates For Your Brand: Take brand advertising a step further by getting your FB and Twitter fans to re-post or re-tweet your Vine video. Create a video and attach it to a branded hash tag.

3)    Let Your Work Speak For Itself Through Video: Don’t settle for a static portfolio on your website. Utilize an animated video to show your clients what you can for them.

4)   Take It A Step Beyond Business: Use historical trivia related to your industry to engage your target audience by first posting a trivia question and then answering it with a video on Vine.

5)   Celebrate Holidays: Celebrate the holidays throughout the year by making market-related videos about holiday promotions. Hold a contest where a Twitter follower can get their Twitter handle mentioned in your next Vine video.

6)   Stir Up Excitement About A New Product: Show your products outright or use a video as a teaser to get your audience excited about upcoming products or events your business is offering. Turn it into a contest by having one person who re-tweets your video win something.

7)   Brings Your Friends To Work: Take the opportunity to humanize your business by giving people a tour inside your office via a video. Give others a glimpse of your work environment; use for a recruitment video.

8)   Attract Customers To Your Exhibit Booth: Attempt to increase your business when you’re exhibiting at a conference by creating a Vine video to attract people to your booth. Attach the conference’s hash tag so people know when your session is starting.

9)   Amaze And Educate: Take advantage of educating your audience with interesting and intriguing information.

10) Get People Inside Your Stores: Whether you’re local or far away, fans can take a tour of your store or restaurant with a up close and personal Vine video.

11) Tell Your Brands Story: Utilize a Vine video to share the history of your business and show your audience that you are an expert when it comes to your products, services, and customers.

12) Promote The Contest Your Brand Is Running: Get your fans excited about your contests and promotions. Fans who are not customers may not know about your product otherwise.

13) Give Presentations Life: Record a video related to your next event and increase your webinar participants or get more subscribers to your podcast.

14) Show-Off Your Products: Showcase your product with a video.

15) Give Fans What They Want: Your Vine videos don’t need to be strictly business related. Consider your audience’s broader interests and create fun, interesting, and educational videos they will like.

16) Amuse Your Audience In Random Ways: Have fun with your brand by entertaining your audience and giving your Vine video the opportunity to go viral .

Don’t forget to measure audience engagement by comparing Vine tweets and which videos are being shared most often. This is one way you can use social media to promote your brand and have fun at the very same time.
