An explainer video is a short corporate video – usually between one and three minutes long, with over 68% of consumers preferring sub-one-minute videos – that details a company’s product or service. Many companies like to showcase this in the form of an animation, but they can also be pieces presented to the camera by an in-house employee or a hired presenter. You’d usually find them either on the company’s homepage or product pages, depending on what the explainer is about.
So, if you haven’t got an explainer video on your website already, then here are just a few reasons why you should get one…
– Show personality
– Easy to understand/consume
– Can be shared easily
– Can monitor your views
– Helps with SEO
Did you know that;
88% of people say they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service from watching an explainer video, as well as 78% who have bought a piece of software or app.
Therefore it’s no surprise that explainer videos are a key tool to market a business. – 87% of marketers agree that an explainer video has increased traffic to their website, whilst 90% have seen a direct increase in sales thanks to the video.
And when it comes to presentation, Wyzowl reported that 75% of consumers decided not to buy a product because the presenters’ tone ‘annoyed’ them. An informal and chatty tone is preferred by 83% of consumers.
So it’s important to remember that the presenter you choose is representing your brand and is just as important as selling your brand as the brand itself.
And as self-explanatory as it may seem, your presenter should reflect your target audience. So if your business is aimed at young mothers, a female presenter is far more likely to engage with your target audience, than a male presenter.
