Top 5 Ways to Get Customer and Influencer Videos with Engage

1. Drop it into your social posts

Don't hunt around for hashtags to find content you can use, then have to wait for permissions and high resolution or original content to be sent to you. Simply add Engage to your post and anyone can send quality video straight to your account.

2. Add to surveys and order follow-up

Ask for video feedback too! An authentic quote about your services or review of your product from a real customer on video is the most effective reference you can get.

3. Remote interviews and video quotes

Need video interviews from your employees and they are all remote? Simply send them the link with your questions and get their responses instantly.

4. Use on in-store & event signage

Don't just get a tagged photo from your store, exhibit or event. Get video too! Engage makes sure you get the best quality content and all permissions delivered right to your account.

5. Employee and community events

Get your employees in on the action by making it easy for them to share images and videos of volunteer projects and other company events. Send them an email or make it easy by adding the QR code to the onsite signage.

6. Get more engagement during live streams

Drop the code onscreen during your livestreams and webinars so viewers can ask questions or record their reactions. You get to review the video instantly and can share live or use for additional content after the stream.
