The tools, systems and processes of marketing have rapidly transformed from the industrial age to the innovative, digital age that we live in today. Your audience is more content-savvy, busier and more sought-after than ever before!
So, as a marketer, it becomes essential that you understand these changing dynamics and respond accordingly.
Here’s what you should keep in mind to ensure that your explainer video for your e-commerce business, delivers the best results.
Follow the trends and optimize your content
Reports indicate that more people than ever before were logging into social media during the pandemic. Additionally, there were more people watching video content on streaming apps (52%) and social media (61%). So, make sure you include a significant number of videos in your marketing plan.
Remember to make sure that your animated explainer video taps into the mood and needs of your audience.For instance this animated explainer video for Kashish Park clearly addresses the TG’s concerns about work from home and the need for a comfortable living and working space during the pandemic.
Keep an eye out for changing tastes
In the last few years, we have seen the birth and rise of different forms and formats of social media content – From TikTik, IS reels, IS polls and much more. As a result, this new age audience actively looks for fresh, interesting and engaging content. This means that your explainer video for business must never seem like another typical ad.
This nutraceutical for example, engages with its audience by drawing an analogy between our immune systems and a fortress. This unusual analogy helps make the video visually interesting and fun! The brand’s timing to launch this video was also optimal as the video was launched during the pandemic when people were looking for ways to boost their immunity.
Keep your explainer videos social media friendly
This means that you must create your animated explainer video with a deep understanding of how different social media platforms work. Instagram Stories are a powerful e-commerce tool with their short and engaging format. YouTube, on the other hand, is a great platform to engage with diverse audiences. Here partnering with suitable channels can be helpful as well as long as your videos do not seem overtly ‘salesy’.
Also, being mindful of simple points like creating your videos in vertical or horizontal formats depending on the platform helps. For example, a vertical video would be suitable as an IS Reel or Story but a standard horizontal format works better for YouTube.
Leverage the power of product videos
Getting into product details, explaining benefits and generating some excitement about your offering is what animated explainer videos do best! Statistics indicate that a person is 144% more like to purchase a product after watching a video. Moreover, videos now appear in 70% of the top 100 search listings.
