- Show your Boss the Many Benefits of an Animated Explainer Video
An explainer video is the perfect pitch every time! Put it this way: it´s quite similar to having a direct meeting with each one of your visitors and that the pitch comes out perfectly!
An explainer video increases website’s visit time by 2 minutes on average, boosting your rankings in the search engines. And, due to its compelling nature, it also helps your brand to get more sales (a 20% conversion rate increase on average).
That’s why marketers claim that marketing videos are the online content with the best return over investment (ROI) for businesses; they know that for every dime spent on a marketing video, there’ll be a greater reward midway and long term.
This fun infographic sums up the reasons why explainer videos have become the latest marketing trend:
- Get Some Budget Considerations
When dealing with explainer videos, the cheaper option is never the best one, because the quality of your animated video is fundamental. Why? Because a bad-quality video will make your brand look bad and you’ll miss all of the marketing video’s benefits. So it’s very important to discuss this matter with your boss!
You need to bet on ROI and not on saving money during the first stages of video production. The usual 20% sales boost sustained in time will be greater than your investment on the explainer video production costs.
You can ask a video production company for a quote and go to your boss with a straight idea of explainer video pricing.
Watch out though: the most expensive explainer video companies are not always the best choice either. As we just said: don’t focus on the prices (cheap or pricey) but on quality instead! Quality is the road to success. But how can you tell? How can you actually measure the quality of an explainer video company? Keep reading and find out!
