How long should a florist hook be?
Keep it to 8 words or fewer. Florist hooks that short went furthest, and the middle one is 9 words.
With 1 to 4 words, the middle reel reached 25 times its account's followers, and with 5 to 8 words, 22. From 9 words on, none of the groups passed 14. 46% of florist hooks already sit at 8 words or under.
Should you say the hook or show it?
Write it on screen. Text with no voice opens 49% of viral florist reels and travelled furthest.
