What is a Product Explainer video?

Today’s customers are more informed and connected than ever before. When they find a product they like, their first reaction is to google it, instead of buying it right away. As a result, companies who invest in smart marketing strategies to help their products/services stand out from the crowd are the ones who deliver greatest sales.

The most effective way to accomplish this is by creating an ‘explainer video’ for your product or service. 

An explainer video is a short video that explains the features, benefits, and usage of the product or service you offer. Creating an explainer video can not only increase conversion rates but also helps to drive traffic to your website as well as add credibility to your business and increase trust among potential customers.

Introduce, explain and promote your products or services.

Explainer videos are used for various purposes, typically to introduce and promote a product or service. They’re great resource to help inform, educate and teach customers about a product/service you offer, helping to increase sales and grow web traffic – and best of all they are super quick and easy to share!  

Additionally, explainer videos are increasingly being used as part of an after sales service programme to help customers with their new purchase.
