Pre-show videos help increase overall viewership to your stream by giving you an opportunity to engage a buyer before your live stream even begins! It’s as easy as creating a video, editing/saving the video, and then uploading it on your published stream. Here are some easy ways to create a pre-show video...
If you would like to create a pre-show video, it is possible with the use of any smartphone, video recorder, or any device with a camera. All you need to do is record what you plan to feature during your show, and it only needs to be 20-30 second long!
To edit, you can use the video editor native to your computer, or use free tools like the new Canva.com video editor!
Instagram Reels and TikTok are easy tools to use to create a video for your social media audience and repurpose it for your upcoming Drip live stream!
Here’s the step-by-step:
Utilize Instagram Reels or TikTok video editor tools to create your preview video showcasing what you will be doing for your live stream and/or share a bit about your brand and the experience you offer
Post it to your IG Reels or TikTok profile, and in your caption direct people to the link in your bio, which should include your Drip profile link
Download the Reel or TikTok to your Camera Roll (this can only be done after posting)
Upload it as your Drip pre-stream video!
Implementing this strategy allows you to easily create a pre-show video while advertising it to another audience! Here is an example video from Poké Coleman.
Creating and uploading a pre-show video is far from time consuming, you can actually create one in no time at all!
You can easily clip a video from a past live, or quickly record the items you will have for sale on your live.

By creating a pre-show video you are able to hit TWO audiences at one time by posting on your social media channel and using the same video for your Drip stream. A pre-show video is more engaging than a static image, especially because you are able to showcase more and potentially speak to your audience.
Pre-show videos are great because they’re an easy way for you to showcase to your audience what you are featuring during your live show. Prior to your show, when a potential buyer clicks on your stream thumbnail, they will be able to see the animated and informational pre-show video you created and get a true taste of what your show and brand has to offer!
Drip saves all of your past streams on our website, which you can repurpose for a pre-show video! We recommend creating a montage of past hits that you have pulled live, to add to your credibility.
