Let’s get real. Static posts — the Canva graphics, the filler quotes, the “pretty” designs — are a complete waste of time for most businesses.
I’ve seen it firsthand with clients here in Windsor-Essex. The moment we get pulled into creating more static content, it’s the same nightmare: endless revisions, nitpicking over colors, fonts, or stock photos, and hours wasted.
And do you know what all that effort gets you? Almost nothing. People scroll right past.
Static posts suck. They look manufactured, forced, and lifeless. And compared to video? They don’t even come close.
Why Businesses Still Cling to Static Content
If static posts are so ineffective, why do businesses keep asking for them? Three reasons:
1. They Feel Safe
It’s easy to hide behind graphics. You don’t have to get on camera. You don’t have to be vulnerable. But safe content doesn’t get attention.
2. It Looks “Professional”
There’s a false belief that polished graphics equal credibility. Wrong. Audiences today value authenticity over polish. A shaky but real video will always beat a perfect but lifeless graphic.
3. It’s What Everyone Else Is Doing
This is the worst excuse of all. Just because other businesses spam their feeds with filler posts doesn’t mean it works. Following the crowd keeps you invisible.
The Hidden Costs of Static Posts
Every static post you publish comes with a cost — not just in money, but in opportunity.
- Lost Attention: Graphics don’t stop the scroll the way video does. Your content gets ignored.
- Lost Connection: People don’t build relationships with fonts and stock photos. They build them with faces and voices.
- Lost ROI: Hours spent making static posts could’ve been used to create videos that actually bring in leads.
It’s not just about “meh” results. It’s about actively draining your resources on content that doesn’t convert.
Why Video Outperforms Every Time
Let’s compare.
- Video Builds Trust — When your audience sees you on camera, they feel like they know you. Trust = sales.
- Video Stops the Scroll — Movement, voice, and eye contact grab attention in ways graphics never will.
- Video Compounds — One video can be clipped, repurposed, and reused across platforms. Static posts die the second they’re posted.
At All In Content, we’ve tested this over and over again. Static graphics get a few likes. Video? It brings messages, leads, and conversations that actually grow businesses.
The Lesson: Double Down on What Works
Static posts might make your feed look full, but full feeds don’t pay the bills. Results do. And video delivers results.
That’s why we’ve drawn a line at All In Content. We’re done wasting resources on filler. We’re doubling down on video — because it’s real, it’s human, and it works every time.
