At Step Out Buffalo our mission is to help people love where they live by showcasing local businesses across Buffalo and Western New York.
One of the ways we do this is through our Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos. Step Out Buffalo Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos are one of our advertising options where a SOB team member will conduct a site visit to capture video of your business, event, or anything else you’d like to promote and then create a promotional Instagram Reel video and TikTok video that is shared to each respective platform plus Facebook.
Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos are highly visual promotions and are a great way to showcase your business or event to our large social media following and beyond.
Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos: How They Work & How To Prepare
Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos are included in select advertising packages or may be purchased a la carte. Your campaign coordinator will work with you to schedule a date and time for someone from the Step Out Buffalo team to visit with you at your establishment or event. Ahead of the visit you will be able to add notes and talking points for the SOB team member to work off of and include in the video.
The team member will be scheduled to be there for up to 45 minutes and will capture various video clips highlighting the food, services, ambiance, products, or experience you’d like to promote. In the instance your business would like to showcase food or services, please make sure these are prepared ahead of time and that someone on-site can execute these tasks.
Long form interviews and Q&A’s will not be included, which means there is no need for you or a representative of your business to prep to be on camera. For the highest quality video, we recommend that you have any products you would like to showcase pre-prepared ahead of our visit.
Once the team member captures all necessary content on-site they will create a short video about your business or event. The video will include a voiceover and caption that further explains and promotes your business or event, and light music will play in the background.
Note: For this product “proofs” are not sent before publishing as these are created as influencer-style marketing pieces
Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos: Results & What To Expect
Generally Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos will receive between between 15,000 – 30,000+ views on Instagram Reels and 1,000 – 20,000+ views on TikTok.
Each video encourages people to follow your business pages, and we will tag all applicable handles on the platforms where they apply.
Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos are geared at creating buzz on social media. A good tip is to make sure your pages serveral eye-catching and valuable posts on them before the Step Out Buffalo Instagram Reel + TikTok Videos are published to entice newcomers to follow. Another tip is to stay active on your pages in the days following the videos’ publication in order to stay top of mind with new followers.

@stepoutbuffalo You have to hear about this dessert restaurant like no other… White Rabbit Dessert Experience will transport you to Wonderland and will have you wanting to stay forever. They are a full service, dine-in restaurant with an open kitchen concept. Their ice cream is homemade and made fresh daily. And so are their sauces. They have a dark, milk and white selection and use fine Belgian chocolate. We tried 3 of their most popular desserts. Their “In Good Company” crêpe, filled and topped with strawberries, bananas, Nutella and powdered sugar. Their “First Draft Pick”, which is a warm chocolate brownie with their homemade vanilla ice cream, homemade caramel and milk chocolate sauce topped with praline nuts. And their “I Want S’more” waffle with white chocolate ice cream, topped with Belgian chocolate and marshmallow sauce, graham cracker pieces and milk chocolate buttons. They also have cake, milkshakes, smoothies and gluten free options as well. Fun fact – they have a different, unique sign at each location. We want “s’more” after this. And you will too. They have two locations in Buffalo open late till 11pm & 10pm on Monday's. 📍2130 Walden Ave, Cheektowaga, NY 📍1750 Niagara Falls Blvd, Tonawanda, NY Follow @whiterabbitdessertexperience to see more about these desserts and all the other sweets they have! #stepoutbuffalo #buffalony #sobpartner ♬ Ooh La La – Josie Dunne
