How Animated Explainer Videos Can Help
It’s no mystery that videos, in general, are an excellent tool for promoting various topics or services, and that they are far more interesting than text, particularly in the business sector. Animated explainer videos, on the other hand, bring a plethora of benefits to financial organizations, and here’s why:
- Animated explainer videos assist you in presenting your services by discussing them in an easy-to-understand manner.
- Animated explainer videos can also help you establish trust in your organization thanks to their friendly and transparent approach.
- Animated explainer videos help you reach out to new clientele on a larger scale because video traffic accounts for 80% of all user Internet content and videos are easily shareable.
Our Collaboration with CWB Maxium Financial
We worked on 2 videos alongside CWB Maxium Financial. Their goal was to provide clients with a more convenient yet comprehensive way of explaining the most sought-after services that they provide.
Condo and Strata Financing
This first animated explainer video tackles the question of how major repairs are carried out by condominium corporations with the limited reserve funds available. To answer this question, our script began by introducing CWB Maxium Financial after first dropping the aforementioned question.
We then proceeded by animating the goal of their project, which is helping clients spread out the costs of their projects with little to no increases in condo fees (in most cases).
After that, our animated explainer video depicts the video’s mascot briefly explaining that a condo corporation loan is not the same as a residential mortgage, because many clients tend to mix up the definitions of these 2 notions. This covers the first objective of the first video.
The board that the video’s mascot is using to explain what a condo corporation loan is highlights the most important pieces of information that she mentions.
Our animated explainer video then zooms out to offer a view of the region surrounding the CWB Maxium Financials’ building while the voiceover reassures the viewers that making an investment in a condominium loan is the safest bet for them as well as the condo’s owners.
The first animated explainer video ends with a call-to-action that encourages people to visit CWB Maxium Financials’ website to learn more about the topic that the video discusses alongside their slogan that emphasizes the notion that their obsession is with their clients’ successes.
Cash Flow Financing
The second animated explainer video we created alongside CWB Maxium Financial tackles the issue of creative financing for a business model that has recently been created.
To grab the target audience’s attention, we began our script with the difficulty that they might be facing: the prospect has recently developed a new business model and is looking for the right type of financing. Right after this, the video mentions CWB Maxium Financials’ Cash Flow Financing service.
Right off the bat, the voiceover and the displayed animations expose the viewers to the different services that the financial group caters for, being acquisition, ownership succession, or growth initiatives. By being straightforward, the video saves people’s time and makes them eager to watch more.
Our animated explainer video then begins introducing the service’s aspects, or, in other words, the ways in which it would help the prospects who end up being clients of the CWB Maxium Financial group.
A very important point that the video also highlights is that the financial group deals with tangible as well as intangible assets, alongside animations that fit each.
The last part of the video is about CWB Maxium Financials’ current standings, which serves the purpose of proving their worth to the video’s viewers.
After this, the second animated explainer video ends with the same call-to-action and slogan as the first video.
Conclusion
The economy is divided into several separate components known as sectors. These sectors are made up of various enterprises that offer goods and services to consumers.
