Frequently Asked Questions

What’s an Instavox Campaign / Campaign Page?
An Instavox Campaign consists in 3 main parts:

ASK IT

  1. It starts with creating an Instavox Campaign Page right here in the app that asks a leading question for your Community to answer - you'll instantly get an Instavox Page link to share
  2. Present your chosen question, challenge or competition to your Community in the clearest way possible, and be explicit about asking your followers to record short voice responses for you by tapping on the link (more on this below)
  3. Share the link, for example, as a “tell me” sticker in Instagram, or in any clear and deliberate way so your Community knows what to expect

HEAR IT

  1. Receive all responses in your Instavox Inbox - you can access your inbox either on your desktop or in your app
  2. Shortlist up to 20 of the best responses by marking them with a STAR. We’re conscious that you may not have the time to listen to and select responses - so if you'd like our support with this step through our managed service, just get in touch
  3. The shortlisted responses will be added to your "My Buzz" page, where you'll be able to optionally jot a few notes beside each one (for yourself or for us), and specify what you're looking for in your videos, including content, and format
  4. When you're ready, tap on "Submit Buzz Request" - we'll get to work producing your Buzz, and get in touch with you if we have any questions

SHARE IT

  1. We’ll notify you once your Buzz videos are ready, and you’ll be able to login here in the app to view and download them
  2. Share your Buzz videos for others to hear, and to share!


Where can I share my Page link?
Anywhere online! It’s a standard, publicly accessible URL that anyone on the internet can visit. We suggest posting it wherever your Community is most likely to see it. A link in your bio, a sticker in your story. However it’s less about where you post it, but more about how you present it. Make your request clear and explicit, and explain to your Community why you’d like to hear from them. 


What questions can I ask?
You know your community best, and you know what questions, challenges and motivations (ie: competitions, freebies, shout outs) would get them sharing their awesome voices most! But to give you some ideas and inspiration we’ve put together a list of example questions you can ask to generate some great conversation, engagement and content - have a read through! No doubt you’ll get some great ideas... 


How long does it take to produce a Buzz Video?
Anywhere from a few hours, to a couple of days. This depends very much on the format and complexity of the video we're creating for you, and what you’re looking to achieve with it. We value quality over anything else, and we want to make sure your Buzz videos are just right.


What formats can I request?
You can request Single Voice Buzz Videos, or Multi Voice Buzz Videos.


What are Single Voice Buzz videos?
Single voice Buzz videos are designed to spotlight the voice of one of just one of your Community members or respondents - it may be a single response that echoes the thoughts of many others you received, or a particularly funny, heartfelt or impactful story or testimonial that you’d like to elevate and showcase to your Community, and then ask people to share beyond.


What are Multi Voice Buzz?
Multi Voice Buzz videos are a short compilation or mix of some of the best responses you’ve received. Multi Voice videos highlight the voices of up to 20 of your Community members and are designed to, together, speak to the objectives of your particular campaign. 


What do you mean by campaign objectives? 
Whenever you ask a question, you’ll have a particular aim in mind as to the responses you’d like to receive. For example, if you’re asking your followers to tell you “the funniest story of when...”, your aim will be to make people laugh (and to then share and re-share your Buzz video). If you’re asking your followers what they love best about your content, products or services, we’ll prepare your buzz videos in a way that show you, your products or your services in the very best light.


Can we work together producing the best Buzz Videos?
Absolutely! Our aim is to get you the best results possible - in whatever form this may take. So we want to hear from you and understand what you’d like to see more of, what works and what doesn’t and what new features you’d like to see!

Don’t hesitate to get in touch, or book a time to speak with us.
