All video content is not created equal, though. It is imperative that you concentrate on video varieties that convert regularly if you want to maximize your return on investment. Let’s examine the best-performing videos and the reasons behind their remarkable ability to turn viewers into customers.
Product Demo Videos
Videos that showcase your product’s functionality provide a clear, visual explanation of its usage. Viewers are more likely to recognize the worth of your product and feel comfortable making a purchase when they see it in use.

Emphasize the characteristics and advantages.
For the purpose of demonstrating usability, use live demos.
Finish with a compelling call to action (CTA).
Customer Testimonial Videos
Customer Testimonial Videos build credibility and trust by showcasing real customer experiences with video. Make use of social proof to demonstrate that other people have had successful experiences.
We usually film these as in-depth success stories, showcasing how your product has helped others. That’s the best way of getting value from a testimonial. We structure these videos with a straightforward problem-solution-results script.
Key Techniques:
Use a Q & A session to produce unscripted testimonials. Then, edit down the interview to a concise, 1-2 minute video.
Present a variety of client testimonials on your website – the more the merrier.
These can also be filmed remotely, check out our other company, Tidal Wave Testimonials, where you can get excellent user-filmed video if you’re on a budget.
Explainer Videos
Explainer videos can simplify hard-to-understand products or services, and give customers an easy way of figuring out how they can help. In a 2-3 minute video, they can be informed on if they do or don’t need your product or service.
Key Techniques:
Keep them engaged – we use animations and a variety of different visuals to keep customers engaged throughout the video.
Be problem-solving oriented: give potential customers a reason to watch! You’re solving a problem for them with your product/service
Be quick, but not too quick, be thorough, but not too thorough.
How To & Tutorial Videos
How-To and Tutorial videos give customers ease of mind when it comes to products that are difficult to understand.
An added benefit: creating these videos can position your brand as a helpful resource, and become the key player in your industry.

Customers can always skip forward, but can always have a hard time keeping up with experienced pros. Make sure you optimize for SEO – Look up FAQ’s and work backwards from there.
