Video is an essential communication medium, whether to promote your products or services to your target audience, but also to present your offer to a potential partner. Indeed, video is a good way to capture the attention of your potential collaborator if it is personalised. Each influencer, just like each customer, has different values and expectations, so it is essential to address each person in a targeted way. Customisable video is therefore the ideal medium to :

Tell your story and your values, which will allow them to better understand the message you want to convey to their community. For example, thanks to a video that presents your premises and your team, the influencer can more easily understand your company and your values.

Present your offer. The influencer must be seen as a consumer, so it is important that they know about the service or product you offer so they can properly present it to their followers. Video is therefore ideal for creating dynamic product sheets, including a demonstration of its use for example.

In this way, the personalised video engages the influencer and allows them to understand your offer and then present it to their community. It should be noted that this approach has proven to be effective from a commercial point of view and is increasingly being used in recruitment.

The trendy social network TikTok has understood this very well. In 2021, 14.9 million French people will be using TikTok every month.
