EXPLAINER VIDEOS
THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING AN EXPLAINER VIDEO ON TODAY’S INTERNET IS IRREFUTABLE. HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE ONE BY NOW.
SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING
SEO
A website with a video on its homepage is 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of Google’s search listings.
A reason for this is that Google loves simple and effective ways of displaying information. Google also tracks the amount of time a person spends on your website, and based on this it weights the importance of the zillions of sites on the internet. Simply put: more time on your site = rocket high rankings.
INCREASED CONVERSION RATES
According to a survey conducted by Video Rascal, 85 percent of people are more likely to buy a product if its presented with an explainer video.
The reason behind this is actually quite simple: People are lazy…or very busy. By watching a 1 minute video they quickly understand what a product or service is about without having to read long paragraphs of information.
Video trends
Yes, that's David Caruso from the old CSI series. We'll get into that in a minute...
Internet users watch 1 billion hours of YouTube every single day! And that’s YouTube alone, just imagine the possibilities with all the rest of the social platforms combined (Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc!). Well, let us tell you this: Just the top 3 social networks alone are now playing 22 billion videos per day.
Video can be played…but it’s no game (insert CSI scream).
AS VIRAL AS A…VIRUS
Thanks to social networks and video-focused platforms (such as You Tube, Vimeo and Dailymotion) videos can go viral and be shared among internet users in seconds.
92% of mobile video consumers share video with their friends and families. This happens without having to spend extra cash on advertising or server bandwith. More people watching your video = more visits to your site. Did we mention SEO already?
VIDEOS RULES THE ADVERTISING WORLD
Video promotions are 6 times more effective than print and/or direct mailing
So if you were planning on heading to your print company today, you might want to change your plans.
