Can AI videos replace product photography?

No, but they complement it. Use professional product photos for your website and AI-generated videos for social media content that drives traffic to those product pages.

What platforms are best for ecommerce video?

TikTok and Instagram Reels drive the most social commerce. YouTube is best for product reviews and tutorials. Pinterest is underrated for product discovery.

How many videos should an ecommerce brand post?

For social media growth, aim for 5-7 videos per week minimum. For product pages, every product should have at least one video.

Is AI video good enough for ads?

For social media ads (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), yes. AI-generated content often outperforms polished ads because it looks more authentic and native to the platform.
