Gifs boost high engagement. But you need to ensure that your Gif has the right features to drive this level of engagement and possibly make it viral. Ensure that:
Gifs are an excellent way to get your message to your audience on social media or even a website for several reasons:
Reducing the size of a Gif increases its loading speed. This gives your audience an easy time viewing and sharing the Gif, especially on mobile devices. There are a few things you can do to reduce your Gif’s size without affecting its quality:
Get the right aspect ratio for social media.
Apply the recommended size for each social media network. It will keep your Gif looking professional on your audience’s feed on both computers or mobile devices. The Gifs will not stretch awkwardly. And the network will not have to cut off parts of the Gif to accommodate its size.
Keep it simple.
Too many details that do not add to your message will only distract your audience. Trim the Instagram video to one motion and one idea, and make it clear, punchy, and memorable. You don’t have to animate every part in the Gif, only the relevant parts. And when it comes to elements like text, keep them as short as possible. You can type in some short CTAs with keywords, such as “new product”.
Keep the size down.
No matter how great it is, a Gif that’s too big will take a long time to load. And your audience will scroll past it with zero engagement. You want to keep the file size lower than the recommended size for the platform. Twitter, for instance, recommends a size of 5MB for mobile, and if you are posting the Gif through their website, it supports up to 15MB. In such a case, post Gifs that are less than 5MB.
Be choosy with your Gifs.
You want to go for a Gif that aligns with your brand and reflects your values. Also, try not to overuse Gifs. They shouldn’t be in every post you make; only use them when it’s relevant.
Data shows that 63% of Americans use Gifs, and one in five Americans love them 100%. Take advantage of this love by breaking blocks of text with interesting Gifs.
Take a break from your usual methods of marketing. Use Gifs to promote your products or services in an eye-catching way. And even to provide a quick tutorial or story that shows how your products can benefit your customers. For an audience that is flooded with information, a fascinating Gif is sure to catch their attention.
Put on your creativity hat and produce viral Gifs that tell a story about your brand and create awareness. Or that shows your brand’s personality in a way that warms your audience’s hearts.
One of the best things about Gifs is that you can use them on multiple marketing platforms. Any place you can use an image, a Gif would fit in perfectly. Use them in your:
Once you hit a milestone with your marketing team or close a big sale, send a congratulatory Gif to your colleagues!

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
