  • The 3-part formula for a great shoppable video:
    • 🪝 Hook: Capture attention fast with a strong visual, verbal, or text overlay hook in the first 3 seconds to stop the scroll. Show a transformation, like a before-and-after or product reveal, say something bold that will spark curiosity, and add text that quickly tells viewers what the video is all about. Combine all three hooks for maximum impact.
    • 🥩 Meat: Show how the product works and why it's worth buying. Use a multi-angle demo, like step-by-step usage, a before-and-after, and real use-cases, to highlight key benefits in practical scenarios. Keep it natural and easy to follow.
    • 📞 Call-to-Action: End with a clear, confident call to action that tells viewers exactly what to do next, like "tap the link to buy now." Keep the energy up and remind viewers of the benefit to inspire action.
