Pheed, Snapchat, the new and improved MySpace, Thumb…not every platform is right for every business, and a few are a guaranteed waste of time for some.
So what about Vine?
Vine is an application from the makers of Twitter that allows you to create 6-second looping video using your iPhone or iPad, and share using Twitter and/or Facebook. You don’t need any editing algeria cell phone database skill to put something together – just your iPhone or iPad and your thumb (your digit acts as the camera’s start/stop tool).

Here are 8 ways to use Vine to promote your business.Show happy customers.
Most customers, even those wildly thrilled about what you do, aren’t comfortable sitting for a lengthy video shoot. But they will give you 6 seconds of their time to show peers how much they like your product. Have him or her hold cards up to the camera featuring words that best describe your product. (Vine will pick up audio, too, but if you’re not shooting 6 consecutive seconds, you’ll have a jumbled mess). A customer beaming behind signs that say “Saves $” “Decreases downtime” and “Simpler to use” are clear messages to prospects that your product is worth a look.
Showcase your work.
Present your work in a more energetic way (with movement), on a model, being devoured or performing under harsh conditions. Color Is Brave, a bi-coastal design and writing team, uses Vine to show their big, bold, colorful work in close-up.
Whet appetites.
If you’re about to introduce a new product, a redesign or an added feature, start generating buzz by giving viewers a sneak peek. Vine also works especially well for long-awaited product updates, new model year designs, new branding, and upcoming line extensions. Link viewers to your website where they can get more detail.
Get votes.
Use Vine to quickly show 2 or 3 options of something and ask viewers to pick their favorite of those proposed – things like logo designs, product configuration options, fabrics or colors for your product, packaging options and more. Giving people a choice gives you valuable focus-group-type input and engages viewers in your product and brand. Vine’s short format makes good sense for this purpose because what you get with this type of selection is people’s gut and instant reaction.
