What are explainer videos?

Also known as conversion videos, overview videos, and homepage videos, explainer videos are videos meant to convey information to your target audience about your company, service, or product. As the name implies, it is explaining. It must deliver a clear message to your intended audience. After watching the explainer video, individuals should have a clear grasp of what you are actually trying to do for them.

The best explainer videos ideally cover four general points: the problem would-be customers face, the solution, the features and benefits, and how the solution works. These four components lead your explainer video to be compelling and credible. Research has shown that this is a recipe for success that can drive further customer growth.

Why should I use an explainer video?

If you are looking to better explain something to your customers (or would-be customers) about your company, product, and/or service, look no further than an explainer video! Although sometimes confused with a commercial, explainer videos are quite distinct. Oftentimes longer than a commercial, explainer videos give your audience more “meat.” In other words, it’s giving your potential customers detailed information rather than just a glimpse of what you are offering. Typically, individuals watching explainer videos are already somewhat familiar with what you are offering.

Explainer videos are most effective when they are placed on the homepage of your website or explicitly made aware to your clientele, such as through a newsletter.
