Since its global release 1 year ago, YouTube Shorts have now exceeded 15 billion daily views, giving businesses and creators a unique way to deliver engaging content for marketing campaigns.

Here are a few benefits to utilizing YouTube Shorts in your next campaign.

  • YouTube Shorts allow users to shoot, edit and upload content straight from your mobile device.
  • Short form content which is designed to remain under 60 seconds
  • Quick content which allows for a more consistent upload schedule.

YouTube Shorts open up a completely new avenue to engage with customers. Since Shorts have a maximum length of 60 seconds it's best to take a different approach than a standard video content. 

Here are a few concepts to utilize the power of YouTube Shorts:

  • How-To
  • Quick Tips
  • Special Offers
  • Product Showcase
  • Fun Facts about a product
  • Behind the scenes
  • Daily updates regarding your services (for instance new inventory arriving, sales events, etc)
  • Create Looping content (Youtube shorts automatically loop)

Now is the time to jump into YouTube Shorts as it's relatively new and can give you the competitive edge for your marketing content. If you’re still not comfortable taking the leap here are a few stats on YouTube Shorts engagement.

  • 2 billion monthly YouTube users.
