Do you think a 6 second video is enough to convey your message? You might well think that 6 seconds is too short but scientific research and the success of Vine, whose main function is creating 6 second long videos, prove the opposite.
According to scientists, the concentration period of an average person was 12 seconds in 2000, whereas it has dropped to 8 seconds in 2012. Therefore, 6 seconds is the ideal duration to draw attention and convey your message.
Moreover, the success of Vine, which is now under the roof of Twitter, proves scientists right. Increasingly penetrating the lives of users, Vine is also gradually becoming an influential marketing tool for accommodation industry.
How can you use Vine? Here is the answer…
Download the app and create an account

This will make it easier to share your Vine videos on Twitter. However, you still need to choose a separate user name and password for Vine. Then you can create your profile.
Have a look at the videos
Before getting started with Vine, you could have a look at the videos created by other users. Thus, we recommend you to see popular videos once you open the application. This way, you could develop an idea as to how you can ideally use the application after you have a look at the videos created by users and the brands relying on Vine as a marketing tool.
Creating your first Vine video
