So, as a Facebook Page manager, if you’re after engagement and reach, you have to combine images and video and find the right mix for your brand. It’s that simple.
The study also found that, 42.95% of Facebook Pages used ads. These ads brought roughly 30% or their reach. This is logical, seeing as video views are still relatively cheap because of their hight reach potential.
Locowise reminds us that
[quote]Facebook videos and photos work much better for organic reach and engagement. Does each and every of your posts feature an interesting image or a video? It’s worth reworking your content calendar to include some original multimedia. Not only that, but also think about how the introduction of live streaming and 360-degree videos fits your strategy.[/quote]
