Can you really flip your Facebook page pic to video?
Yes! It has been almost a month since Flip partnered with DDB Singapore and Text 100 Singapore to launch their plugin Flip Video. With the ambition to revolutionize profile pictures by replacing static pictures by videos, Flip managed to create a lot of buzz in Asia.
Because only the people who have installed the plugin will be able to see video profiles, Flip mainly relies on word of mouth to gain users. As the application is free, many individual users and celebrities have tried it such as Nat Ho, Tabitha Nauser or Lester Jonathan Leong.
If the buzz spreads, as a marketer, it would be better to a leader rather than a follower. So get flipping on Facebook before your competitors do. Brands such as Renault Columbia, Danette Paris, Standard Chartered, Singapore Kindness Movement and Jajoop Thailand have already made the changes.
In order to change your brand profile picture into a video, all you need to do is:
1) Go on Flip SG Facebook page
2) Choose your browser, download the plugin and restart browser.
3) Connect your profile with the app.
To upload your new profile video, shoot your video with Flip Video and send it tome@flipyourprofile.com.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a Flip Video camera, you can use Profile Maker and upload a video up to 10MB.
This is a great opportunity for brands to show more creativity and generate more interaction with their fan base.
