Evergreen video ideas and examples
Not every month can be chock full of holidays to help fill out your calendar, but social media never sleeps. The good news: we’ve got several ideas for themed weekly videos that you can use in June and beyond.
As with the social holidays, we recommend treating these suggestions like a menu. Choose the ones that make sense for your business, give them a try, and see how your audience responds.
Tip of the Week
Build credibility with your social audience. Establish yourself as an authority in your field by sharing a weekly tip pertaining to your industry, in video form. Considering using the hashtag #TuesdayTips to establish the series in the eyes of your customers, and help improve discoverability for new potential customers and social followers.
If you need a little help getting started, check out our Weekly Series: #TipTuesday template for an easy framework to follow week after week.
Deal of the Week
It’s not hard to see why offering savings through your social account can be an effective way to spark engagement: everyone likes a deal. Sharing special promo videos for just your social media audience rewards your loyal fans, and creates an incentive for customers who aren’t following you yet to do so. Use video to showcase a product or service that you’ll be offering savings on and emphasize the limited time nature of the deal.
Since summer is starting in June, we recommend starting with the Flash Sale template, which clearly sets up what you’re offering and when you’re offering it for your curious customers.
Stellar Testimonials
Making customer-centric videos a part of your weekly schedule allows you to build relationships with the people who love your business the most. This gives you the opportunity to return the favor for their customer loyalty, and broadcast that social proof to a wider audience. Consider grabbing highlights from your online reviews, or even requesting video testimonials from your biggest fans. Try out the Customer Testimonials template and add it to your feed or switch the aspect ratio to vertical and share to Reels, TikTok, or Stories.
Question of the Week
Engagement is the name of the game on social, and direct questioning is a great way to spark that engagement. For this sort of content, consider which social networks you have the most active audience on, and create your video with them in mind.
Try out the Engagement Post template, and swap the visuals out to fit your industry and offering. Ask a question that'll help you get to know your followers better, and encourage them to leave their answers in the comments.
