  • Their primary measurable return is follower growth and improved brand awareness over time.
INSIGHT

Comments Are Hard On Reels

  • Calls to action asking for comments rarely work on reels because viewers scroll quickly.
  • Watch time and retention percentage are the key engagement metrics for short videos.
ADVICE

Be Consistent For Baseline Reach

  • Use short-form content to create top-of-mind awareness even if sales are indirect and hard to measure.
