Why should you think about using an animated sales video for your company?

Animated sales videos are a great way to demonstrate your products and services. Your customers will be able to see what it’s like to use them instead of just seeing some still photos or a wall of text.

It’s also a great way for you to tell a story around your product or service. Letting people see how something works from start to finish helps build trust with potential clients, especially if they have never used this type of product before.

Animated videos make it easy for your customers to understand what your company does

Animated sales videos are a great way to simplify complex technology, software and processes. Software in particular is difficult to visualize with a video camera. But animation can be used to show images of the app and interactive elements lighting up and moving around its features are being demonstrated.

Connect with your audience in a compelling, memorable way

Animated sales videos are a compelling and memorable way to connect with your audience. With animated videos, you can get your message across in a fun and engaging way that will leave them wanting more.

Unlike boring talking head videos that simply feature the CEO talking about his product or service, animated sales videos use unique storytelling and visuals to make your message memorable. They’re also easy to follow and understand, so even if you have a complex product or service, it will be easy for potential customers to understand what you’re selling.

Animated sales video are captivating, videos of your CEO talking are boring.

See which leads are most interested in buying from you

One of the best ways to use animated sales videos is to make sure that you are targeting your marketing efforts at the right audience. You can do this by creating an animated sales video that shows off your products and services, and then using it as part of a lead generation or email marketing campaign. When you use a service like Wistia to host the video, you will be able to see which leads actually watch your video, which ones come back to rewatch and which ones drop off and lose interest.

Animated sales videos can help you identify which leads are interested in buying from you.

This allows you to save time by focusing on the leads who are more likely to buy from your company instead of wasting time on those who didn’t watch your video and probably won’t purchase something from your company.

A/B Test Your Animated Video to Improve Its Conversion Rate

A/B testing is a great way to test different versions of your animated sales video to see which one performs better. You can A/B test different video thumbnails to figure out which one gets more people to click play. Testing different introductions lets you see which hook gets people interested in watching your video longer. You can also test different calls to action at the end of your video to see which version is most likely to get people to engage with your company.

Things To Include In Your Sales Video

To create a high converting animated video for your sales team, your video should include:

• A clear explanation of how your product or service will help your customers.
• Identify the problem your viewer has. Present a strong value proposition or series of benefits that shows how your product/service can help them. If you haven’t solved a problem for them, then why should they waste their time watching?
• Add a clear call-to-action at the end of your animated sales video. It should encourage the viewer to take the next step towards becoming a customer (i.e. download the app, contact our sales team, sign up for a free account, etc).
