• Audience pays more attention—and for longer: Your customers’ social feeds are filled with content—text and photos—and they can’t possibly pay attention to it all as they scroll. While a user might scroll past a flat image, an animated one might catch their eye and hold it. Movement naturally garners more attention, which increases the chance your customers will focus on, engage with and share your content.
• Adds a special element to your content: In the world of social media, it’s becoming harder and harder to stand out—and this is especially true on Instagram, with millions of images posted each day. Customers are more likely to engage with content that is unique and offers a special something. Animating your images adds an extra-special touch to your content that viewers are more likely to appreciate and remember.
• Simple to achieve: Adding animation to static images is one of the simplest and easiest things you can do to improve your social media content. There are tons of free or low-cost tools that can animate images quickly, but creating and incorporating custom animation is not overly complex, either. Additionally, animating images is considerably less involved than creating videos, making it a great place to start for brands that are interested in shaking up their creative content.

• Versatile content: Animated images can be used in a wide range of places, starting with your different social media platforms. Beyond that, though, these images can easily be incorporated onto your website, into email newsletters and more to capture users’ attention across your entire digital sphere.
