Why explanatory videos are important
Most purchases are now made online. To increase sales, companies need to find ways to engage their customers. But why exactly are videos and explainer videos such a good way to build trust with your target group
- Pictures are worth a thousand words.
- Promotional videos are a great way to increase your company’s brand awareness.
- Long texts can cause potential customers to lose interest because they don’t want to invest unnecessary time in reading. This can be avoided with an explainer video and even has the opposite effect.
- Adding a video to a website increases its SEO ranking. This is because Google automatically ranks websites with content that is shared by users higher. This generates more traffic and engagement.
- With an explainer video, your company’s website will stand out from the crowd and visitors will stay longer on the website.
Different types of explanatory videos
There are different types of explainer videos that you can use to advertise your offer, product or service and make potential customers aware of your business.
Explainer videos are short videos that, as the name suggests, are used to explain your company’s product or service. Explainer videos are produced in a variety of styles, such as whiteboard, color, isometric, 3D, etc. These are often placed on a website landing page or prominent product page. These types of videos are extremely popular and ensure that people stay on your website longer and are often encouraged to purchase your product or service.
A product video shows the product and how it works. The main goal is to build trust with your customers and thus generate more sales. A good product video shows your potential customer how the product will benefit them in detail or make their life easier. Product videos are great marketing tools and can be shared on social media, embedded on your blog or even emailed to your customers during a sales call.
Videos about the creation and founding of your business can be a great way to introduce yourself and the people behind your product. The personal touch of the video is a great way to connect with your customers and build a better brand image. It’s also a great way to tell about your company culture.
For certain products, it’s a good idea to have a FAQ video created. Ask a question and then answer it on camera. The format is usually as follows: The question is presented and read aloud, an employee answers the question, the video switches to the next question asked, the question is answered again, and so on.
Before the explainer video is after the explainer video: Prepare yourself
To create the perfect explainer video for your offer, you should consider a few things in advance:
- What is the purpose of the explainer video?
Think about where you want to use the explainer video and who will watch it. You may have several uses for the explainer video. - Where are the viewers in the customer journey?
If people see the explainer video on Facebook or Instagram first, it’s quite possible that they don’t know your company yet. However, if they watch it on the website, they are probably already interested in the product and are considering whether or not to buy it. The best way to do this is to produce different videos that appeal to people at different stages. - What do you want the explainer video to look like?
Take your time and have a clear idea of what you want the end result to look like. The explainer video should feel as cohesive as possible. - Who is actually the target group?
Get an idea of who would buy your offer. Explainer films that show certain environments or lifestyles can encourage people who value these things to buy your offer.
The explanatory video is ready: What now?
Your explainer video is now ready and should be seen by as many people as possible, including potential customers? There are several ways to perfectly stage your explainer video:
- Your website is a great place to embed your explainer video. It’s best to embed it right at the top of the header area.
- Your social media accounts are another great place to share your explainer video. Remember that different social media accounts work best with different video lengths.
- Ads on social media help you connect with potential customers. When you combine this with a good customer retention strategy, sales increase quickly.
- When people interact with videos, they click through to the website and check out the rest of what you have to offer. Make sure these posts and your accounts link easily to the website. That way, people can get in touch with you faster.
- If the explainer video fits the topic, embed it in your newsletter or include a link to the explainer film in the email. Since your potential leads have already provided their email address, they are likely to be more open to learning more about your company and your offer. With an explainer video, you can get to the point efficiently!
