What sort of social media video do you want to make? Our social media templates are a great place to get started. We’ve got a team of marketing experts who know social media inside and out. They’ve designed these templates to engage viewers and win audiences.
What do you do from here? Whatever you want! Delete scenes you don’t want, add new ones, throw in your logo, add your own colors and music, and customize just about anything else you can think of. If you really want to get the job done fast, just type in your text and let Biteable’s Smart Editor do the rest.
It couldn’t be easier.
Make the theme consistent
Biteable has a few easy tools you can use to make your social media video content consistent with the rest of your brand. Just about every aspect of the animation and text can be customized to fit your brand.
Maybe the music isn’t right? Choose a new track from our premium music library or upload your own track. Colors not working? Biteable’s Brand Builder tool will automatically fetch your brand colors from your website and apply them to your entire video with the click of a button.
Looking fancy isn’t the only reason to take this extra step: it’s a great way to create brand association with your social audience. From the start, you want people to know they’re watching a video made by you.
Consider different types of video
Viewers might start getting tired of your content if you always post the same type of video. Don’t just stop after that Instagram marketing video – start thinking about other ways you can engage your audience. For instance, you could try…
- Listicles
- ‘Did you know?’ videos
- National holiday or event videos
- Brand announcements
- …and many more!
The options are limitless. Whether your making a Facebook video, an Instagram story, or a TikTok, we have templates that cover all the bases. The more videos you have, the more opportunities you’ve created to bring in new viewers and customers.

Pro tips
Polish your social media video content like a diamond
Congrats, you’re a social media marketing pro. You’ve got the video looking slick, it’s on-brand, trimmed to the perfect length, and you’ve got killer creative that gets people coming back to your brand again and again. So where do you go from here?
It’s time to get under the hood and think about what makes a good social media video tick. And, like everything else Biteable, it’s easy and will only take a few minutes.
Target your audience
Who is your core audience? Think about the people who are most involved with your brand and try to write your social media videos in a voice they’ll connect with. Do they want something laugh-out-loud funny, or would they prefer content that takes itself a bit more seriously? Only you can be the judge.
Facebook has a bunch of great tools that can track your key demographics, the location, age, and gender of your page visitors, and a whole heap of other invaluable information that will help direct your creative content.
Experiment for the best results
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will the perfect Facebook marketing campaign (actually, some of them are). It’ll probably take a few videos for you to figure out what works best with your viewers and what doesn’t that will help with interpreting results.
Look over your data. Are a whole bunch of people switching off your video before the introduction is over? Maybe you should look at making it significantly shorter. Is there a particular scene people are sticking around for? You’re onto a winner.
Don’t be afraid to experiment – that’s how you’ll create a successful social media video campaign for your business.
