7 REELS TO BOOST YOUR ONLINE SALES FOR PRODUCT BASED BUSINESSES

As a creative millennial woman entrepreneur, I know that time is one of our most valuable resources. With the growing demand on our schedules, I've often found it challenging to attract new customers while retaining existing ones.

However, I've discovered that creating effective product reels can be a powerful tool to elevate our online presence and drive sales.


Let me share a personal experience. Just last month, I implemented 7 reels that specifically cater to millennial women entrepreneurs like us. And guess what? They worked wonders for my social media presence, increasing both engagement and sales!


So, if you're looking to maximize your impact online, I highly recommend trying out these 7 reels. Trust me, they can make a real difference!

Reel 1: Product Showcase

As a busy entrepreneur, time is of the essence. Use reels to show off your product's unique selling points to its fullest extent. Showcase the product's features and benefits with multiple angles and close-up shots. This way, potential customers can see the product in detail quickly.

Action Item: Take a day to plan and film your product reels. Set aside time specifically to showcase the best angles and features to highlight why your products are special.

Reel 2: Product Reviews

Millennial consumers crave authenticity. To meet this demand, use reels to share or shout out positive product reviews or feedback from happy customers. This builds a sense of trust and reliability with potential new customers.

Action Item: Reach out to satisfied customers via DM and ask for a short review or photos of how they’re using your products. Ask for permission to use their feedback in your product reels.

Reel 3: Tutorial

Give value to your social media followers by creating tutorials showing the versatility and range of your products. Use reels to showcase your creativity and help potential customers get the most out of their purchase.

Action Item: Plan out two tutorials per week. Set time aside to film and edit the content, and schedule the time to post the content on your social media platforms.

Reel 4: Behind-the-Scenes

Millennial consumers want an idea of what it’s like behind the scenes of brands they trust. Use reels to vent behind the scenes footage of how your products are made. Show the unique processes that make your products different from the competition.

Action Item: Schedule one full day to capture behind-the-scenes footage. Edit this footage and decide how to incorporate into your product reels.

Reel 5: User-Generated Content

User-generated content is a powerful tool to creating a sense of community and loyalty among your brand. Use reels to showcase user-generated content such as photos and videos of happy customers using your products.

Action Item: Create a branded hashtag that goes along with your business and encourage customers to use that hashtag with their photos. Feature those images in your product reels.

Reel 6: Promo Code or Special Offer

Millennial consumers are more likely to purchase if they feel they are getting a good deal. Use reels to promote and share exclusive discounts or promotions with your social media followers.

Action Item: Plan out promotions with your brand discounts and choose the best times to release them. Then, use product reels to promote these events.

Reel 7: Brand Story

Telling your brand story is an important factor in connecting with potential customers. Use reels to share your brand story, collaborate with other businesses, highlight your values, mission, and history.

Action Item: Plan on creating a one-minute brand story that explains who you are, what you do and any other specific details highlighting what makes your brand unique. Incorporate this into your social media content plan.

By incorporating these 7 reels into your social media strategy, you can maximize your online presence and build a following. Utilize these reels to create compelling content and engage with customers to build trust and loyalty. Remember, to achieve the best results, stay authentic, creative, and consistent while allowing your reels to embody the unique vibe your brand emanates.
