Key Aspects of Creating a Corporate Explainer Video
Explainer videos are among the most commonly produced types of videos, thanks to their promising benefits for businesses looking to market their products and services. Here are a few useful tips to help you get the most out of your corporate explainer videos.
Audience-Driven Graphics
The graphics must target your audience’s needs and include things or items that people encounter on a daily basis; the presented material must be relatable to your audience.
Selecting the Right Animation Style
The animation style must bode well with the audience, aiding in conveying the message and purpose of the video. If your corporate explainer video represents a more serious brand, you should consider using motion graphics. However, if it is a business that gives room for a little fun, you may consider using cartoon characters.
Short and Succinct Script
The script is the core of an explainer video. The ideal length of a script should be between 100 and 200 words depending on the length of the video. In some cases, corporate explainer videos may go as long as 10 minutes.
Voiceover Reflecting Your Brand’s Personality
The tone of the voiceover is very important. Select a friendly male or female voice, taking into consideration what accent, tone, and inflection emphasize your unique brand personality.
Consider Adding Subtitles
Most videos on YouTube and Facebook are watched in silent mode. That gives videos with subtitles an edge and makes them more successful on social media platforms like Facebook.
Benefits of a Corporate Explainer Video
Here is a look at how a corporate explainer video can benefit your business and contribute to your marketing strategy.
01
Significant Improvement in Conversions
Cisco estimated that videos will make up 82% of all content on the internet by 2021. Thus, if you haven’t already considered creating video content, you must get a jump on it to give your brand a head start. Not only will that give you a slice of 82% of the internet, but it will help increase your followers as your audience will eagerly expect more video content from you in the future.
02
Better Brand Visibility
The number of businesses using video on their landing pages jumped from 49% in 2017 to 60% in 2018. That is largely due to the huge potential of videos in increasing conversions; adding a video to your landing page can increase conversion rates by up to 80%. One of the most popular explainer videos was that of Dropbox, and it transformed the company from a startup to a technology giant. Dropbox’s landing page had nothing but an explainer video and a download button, which means that the 10% increase in conversions and the ten million new customers Dropbox converted were solely thanks to the explainer video. Visual content, in general, helps improve your brand visibility and engage your audience, thus leading to enhanced conversions.
03
Explain Your Ideas Easily and Quickly
Business ideas can sometimes be difficult to explain. Use of an explainer video on your homepage presents your visitors with a quick way to understand and interact with your brand online. Therefore, an explainer video can help you effectively communicate your brand’s USPs.
04
Build Brand Equity over Time
The key to building brand equity is developing an awareness of your brand and influencing how people see, think, and feel about it. And there is no better way to determine how your brand is perceived than using explainer videos for your products or services, shaping your brand in a way that distinguishes it from competitors and increasing its commercial value.
05
Bring More Life and Emotion to Dull Corporate Topics
Most businesses topics are mind-numbing, difficult, and more often than not fail to hold the audience’s interest. However, businesses should understand how people think in order to succeed. An explainer video is the only way to deliver content in a colorful, capturing manner, without having to compromise the importance of the topics discussed while making that information more memorable than any written way of communication.
06
Internal Training Video
Providing sufficient and equal training to all personnel can be challenging and often requires constant repetition of the information that your workforce needs to retain. The text has a low memory retention rate, close to 10%. Videos offer a much higher memory retention rate of up to 68%. Thus, the use of videos can improve your staff’s ability to master new skills and help them acquire knowledge quickly and maintain it for a longer time
