Are you ready with a killer marketing strategy for your new product? Have you come up with a great plan for branding, conversions and ready with that long list of all the features the product has? Awesome! Your customers are already starting to lose interest. Why? Because what they want to know is not what all features your product possesses but simply what’s “in it” for them. How? With Animated explainer video, tada! Talk to consumers, about their needs, their problems and how do you plan to resolve them.

Ask 3 questions that’ll get your product or service “WOW” from the audience.

WHAT: The audience should know what you do fundamentally. Explain to them what is the product does for them. Try not to use jargons as it’s likely to sound cliched.

WHY: Explain what is your role in the market, the products power to solve the problems and what opportunities you can create for customers.

HOW: How you do what you say you do.

Remember these questions when you dive into making an explainer video for the promotions of your products or services. Videos are simply the best conveyors of difficult marketing messages and business propositions in a much solved and crisp way. By making a “how to” video you not only connect with the audience but “what,” the product does for them and “why” they should choose you over their competition.

4. The most engaging explainer videos tell a great story. Depending on the script they consist of a plot, a goal, key characters, obstacles and a lot more. This automatically invokes the feeling of care and better communication between a consumer and a product.

5. The one quality which set explainer videos apart from other marketing tools is that they are easily shareable. Unlike text web pages, power point presentations people are more likely to go on the internet and watch videos instead.
