Thumbnail: Provide a 16:9 still image (.jpg or .png) to use as a custom thumbnail. This is what the audience will see before and after the video plays (see
Tips for Shooting Video for additional information). This image will will not be eligible for promotion on Facebook if it contains
too much text.
Content (slideshow or video)
With the WCEI audience, we’ve had the most success with content that:
- Is interactive (such as quizzes)
- Is educational ("How to X " or "What’s the difference between Y and Z?").
- Dispels myths or explains how commonly observed practices are not current with the standards of care.
- Introduces new and exciting breakthroughs in wound care
Call to Action (slideshow or video)
We can link a social post or blog back to the URL of your choosing. Just be sure that any calls to action within your slideshow or video are identical to the post’s call to action.
