COVID-19 and the Upgrade from Traditional Marketing to Short Video Marketing
 
Under the influence of COVID-19, countries worldwide have taken measures such as closing cities and maintaining social distance to stem the outbreak, which has resulted in an increasing number of short video users. At the same time, many enterprises are actively exploring how to transfer their business from offline to online under the realistic situation of budget austerity. Meanwhile, the marketing platform will also shift to short video.
 
This will undoubtedly speed up short video marketing from the "wild growth" into the "intensive farming”. Short video marketing practitioners should not only be familiar with the characteristics of each short video platform, but also understand the technical background of each platform and the characteristics of the audience, so as to do more targeted adaptation creativity. Only in this way can brand information be delivered to target users more accurately.
 
Currently, live streaming is popular. As a marketing mode of short video platform, it not only tests the understanding of brands and products, but also fully interacts with the audience. In the future, it will also become the standard configuration of enterprises.
