Amanda runs a fashion boutique and uses Facebook Stories to promote limited-time sales. She wants to post a short video showing off her new summer collection every Friday morning.
Using Tekmatix Social Planner:
Amanda uploads a 15-second vertical video.
Selects “Story” as the Facebook content format.
Schedules it for Friday at 9 AM, when her audience is most active.
This saves her from logging into Facebook manually and helps keep her weekly promotional rhythm consistent.
Things to Remember:
Facebook Stories support only 1 image or 1 video per post.
No support for thumbnails or OG Meta Tags in Stories.
Keep videos within the required dimensions and time limits.
