Why should you consider Facebook Reels for your business?

The best part about Reels is that you don’t need a production studio to create them. In fact, the best performing Reels are often the most authentic, genuine, and human-centric. People want to hear from real people, not brand content that feels like an advertisement.

Other advantages to Facebook Reels include:

Reach larger audiences: Posting Reels increases your chance of getting discovered and reaching even more fans on Facebook and Instagram than standard posts.

Easy content repurposing: Easily repurpose your videos across all your social media channels, including YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. You can schedule and auto-post to each of these platforms with Loomly!

Turn organic content into ads: If an organic Reel performs well, that’s an excellent indicator of paid success. You can easily “boost” your best Reels to exponentially increase your reach and drive clicks to your website.

Getting creative: They’re simply fun to make. Remember: if you’re having fun, your audience will too.

How to create engaging Reels

As mentioned above, authenticity is key. Humans want to hear from the humans behind your brand. Be vulnerable. Be yourself. Because nobody else can be you!

Here are a few simple Reel ideas to get started – be sure to constantly experiment and double down on what gets the most engagement from your audience:

  1. Share “a day in the life” or behind the scenes look at how you and your team work together.
  2. Share industry tips & tricks that you wish you knew earlier in your career.
  3. Share the story of how you got started and why you’re passionate about what you’re building.
  4. Discuss a new trend or noteworthy news in your industry.
  5. Showcase your products and services. Definitely mix in promotional content, but show it in action and focus on how it can help your potential customers!

  • Minimum width of 540px
  • Minimum height of 960px
