Who can forget the overnight success of HP during the Diwali season when it had launched an emotional video that touched people’s hearts emotionally leading to an extensive sale of its products.
This is the kind of impact product videos can have on eCommerce for driving sales!
The beauty of product videos is that they help generate confidence in the customer’s buying decisions. As a product video gives a demonstrative visual tool of your product or service, it makes it very convenient for the customers to get to know about each and every aspect of it virtually without actually visiting the store.
The motive behind these videos is just to humanise a virtual experience by becoming more interactive and engaging with the audience. Undoubtedly, with an eCommerce business, using professional videos to drive sales becomes a must.There are several videos that you can think of creating and through that, flourish your business such as –
● Product explainer videos – To demonstrate and explain the working and use of your product and give a brief overview of it.
● Testimonial videos – The videos talk about the experience of your past buyers with the product in a positive way to basically inculcate the trust of your audience
● Storytelling videos – These videos test your creativity as through them you narrate the story behind your idea of selling the product, the challenges faced by you, what future do you see for yourself, and similar discussion topics. Story-telling videos are a great tool to form an emotional connection with your buyers. Here is one example, how we, Anemative, helped one of our clients to target audience with product video.
