The Benefits of Explainer Videos

If you wonder how short marketing video can generate conversion rates, let’s break down each benefit of explainer videos that lead to sales success.

Hook Audience’s Attention

A unique combination of visual and narration catches the eyes and ears faster than a dull text. It also stimulates the brain to process better. An explainer video has both features that ease your target audiences to get the marketing information.

Whether to pull off the animated or the live-action version, both can be a huge success if they are done correctly.   

Better SERP Rank

Having explainer videos on your sites can help boost your search engine result page (SERP) rank. First off, your video itself is already an attention grabber within a page full of text. 

If your video is relevant to your brand and able to help visitors get more information, Google will value your sites more. As a result, Google increases your SERP rank and deems your site as a credible website. 

More Website Traffic

When your explainer video gets a lot of attention, people begin to search for your brand. They will look for more information about your brand to satisfy their wonders, and your website is the main source to get it.

Your explainer video that surfaces on other platforms will lead new audiences to your site. This results in high traffic and better SEO. 

Increase Conversion Rates 

Eventually, the more shared your explainer video is the higher chances of you getting more conversion rates. Unlike other marketing strategies, explainer videos deliver your brands’ message shortly and concisely with the amusing animation that speaks to them.

An enticing explainer video will urge the viewers to take action shortly after watching it. The eye-catching call-to-action provides a way of how to do the next step. From this point on, more leads are on the journey to the buying process.

Hacks to Create Explainer Video Script

There are plenty of ways to script your explainer video, however, only a few that share the hacks. So here are our not-so-secret-anymore hacks that will bring you to a great explainer video.

Use Active Sentence

Isn’t it obvious, duh? The thing is that scriptwriters tend to forget this rule since using a passive voice is sometimes easier. But, it doesn’t send well to the audiences.

The problem with passive voice is the complexity it brings to the listeners. Grammatically, passive voice has a complex structure than an active sentence where it directly states what the speakers say. This results in a confusing statement thus, making it hard to persuade people.

Fill a Half-Full Glass

Do not spill out all your features to your audiences. The reason being it decreases the curiosity and simply it leaves the viewers overwhelmed with the information.

By filling your glass half-full, you let viewers wonder about the brand you talked about in the explainer video. You can also rearrange the wording positively. Instead of saying “your product doesn’t cost much” try saying “our product is affordable” as it implies the ability to purchase the product.

Create Concrete Statements

We know many marketers use sentences like ‘the best quality in the nation’ or ‘the fastest services ever’ to persuade target customers. However, they are not concrete enough to convince your audience to use your services.

Using concrete statements with numbers imply the real deal your company has in the past years. It will let people know the exact amount you can give to them. For instance, a sentence such as ‘100% money-back guarantee’ is convincing enough for the audiences who experience dissatisfaction with the products.  

Use People Instead of Percentages

The use of percentage in the human subject is merely confusing and takes some time to process especially in an explainer video. Your video must be easy to understand since it reaches a general viewer.

Unless you are writing a journal, using a percentage can be your step back. Instead, use simple words and count like ‘7 out of 10 people are blah… blah… blah…’

And there are many more to understand before you make your own explainer video. The infographic below will show you how to make explainer video scripts from scratch. There is also a free formula for you to recreate.
