MenuDoes a high quality explainer video generate higher customer conversions than a low quality explainer video?
Do you know of any cases where a high quality explainer video (in terms of great animation and a great script) had a higher customer conversion rate than an explainer video with poor animation and script?
Answers
If your talking about the pixel quality it depends on your brand. The content of the video is far more important.
You should take into account on a broader level whether an explain-er video will increase conversions verse a text based explanation due to trade offs.
Video: Visual elements help with user experience and also increase transparency with brand. The con is that search engines can't read video's and only the video description will be recognizable. (A work around is having a transcript of the video which may take away from the user experience). Also video's decrease your websites page speed.
Text: This will allow people and search engines to read your content. May decrease visitors engagement and increase bounce rate.
Solution: I have been in a position where we did an A/B text on having a video verse image to explain the concept. Turns out both performed nearly identical. We choose the image because videos hurt page speed. Page speed is a part of Google's algorithm for search engine results. Consider creating a landing page with bullet points around customers pain points (not your product/service benefits) with a CTA that takes them to your video or offer. With an explain-er video I'm guessing your offering an unique product or service.
Seriously?
Yes. A low quality video will make it seem like you have no authority.
Marketing is an investment, not an expense. Work to get the BEST ROI, not the CHEAPEST INITIAL PRICE.
Is better better than worse? Of course.
Think of every TV ad you've ever seen. Would the advertising industry have spent so much money for decades on glossy message delivery if shoddy workmanship were equally good?
Undoubtedly they've performed numerous studies that justify their expenditures. Do you need to cite those studies? Common sense ought to suffice.
At my tech PR firm Write2Market, ranked among the top 10 in the United States for Startups, we have produced a lot of explainer and demo videos. Quality matters to the point that you have to look professional. After that, overproduction is a waste of time and money. Most startup video video is overproduced and underscripted. It comes across as "unbelievable." Pay attention to the story (great script) and call to action to influence conversation rate. Production quality (animation) is not in the top 3 key drivers of conversation. Founders story video has the highest early conversion rate because you get the added (low production!) emotional connection impact. Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to discuss this more.
I dont think you should spend $$$ for quality video. The main questions will be: Is your website audience quality or not? If the website audience is quality - your product will sell without video.
But if your website gets junk traffic, then the quality video will not work.
A quality video will be good only if you do A/B testing and test what triggers a user to convert? Does a video triggers him/her? or Headline? or Call to Action?
Dont spend $$$ on quality videos if you have not found our what is your highest converting module. (Video, price, description, pdf, ebook, whitepaper.....)
Hi there! In my experience, the conversion rate is not a direct result from the quality of the video, but from the target you are pursuing. Some targets and products need, on the contrary, a lower quality video, which impacts in emotion from an "easy going" perspective. I think you will have the best demonstration not in external examples, but on your own experience. You can try both, but with very little investment, to measure the impact the quality has in your specific target, before going in a further planning. What it really matters for sure, always, is the emotions you appeal and the direct call to action to generate the conversion. Of course, it all depends on the product /service you are dealing with, and the target to whom you direct to. I hope I was clear in my point of view. I remain available for any questions you should have. Cheers!
Yes, in my experience producing over 700 explainer videos with my company (www.Gisteo), higher quality videos convert more.
Importantly, however, it's the script first and foremost that dictates "quality." Think of the script as king, visuals as queen or maybe even prince :)
I'd much rather have a compelling script with so-so animation/imagery than a mediocre script produced by the finest animators at Pixar. The story is what sells. Eye candy is more of a nice bonus....it can never be the other way around!
A well-made explainer video is more likely to get people to buy your stuff than a low quality one. When a video looks professional and has good content, it makes the brand look better and customers are more likely to trust it. Plus, if the video is interesting and easy to understand, people are more likely to take action, like buying the product or service being offered. And let's not forget about the emotional factor! A video that connects with people on an emotional level is more likely to make them want to take action. But of course, there are no guarantees in marketing and other factors like the target audience and marketing strategy can play a big role too!

It is quite possible that a high-quality explainer video with great animation and a compelling script can make a big impact on customers and lead to higher conversion rates. This is because it can capture the viewer's attention and effectively communicate the key features and benefits of a product or service.
However, it's not always the case that a high-quality explainer video will automatically lead to higher conversion rates. Other factors such as the target audience, marketing strategy, and overall website user experience can also play a role in determining whether or not a video is effective.
Overall, there are certainly cases where a high-quality explainer video has outperformed a low-quality one in terms of customer conversion rates. This is often due to the fact that the high-quality video is more engaging, informative, and persuasive, which can help build trust and credibility with potential customers.

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF

How do you build social media presence up before a product launch?
It can certainly be tough to build up a substantial follower base, starting from nothing or very little, especially if you haven't launched your product yet. But here are a few tactics to help you get in front of more people pre-launch: 1) Start sharing tons of useful content. Before you bother sending people to your Twitter feed or Facebook page, you want to make sure they'll find something valuable once they get there. If you have the time, create original content that ties into your industry, your product, or your company in some way (without directly promoting yourself, though). If you don't have the bandwidth to create your own content, find other articles from bloggers you admire or experts in your industry, and share their content. Just make sure you're putting out information that's highly relevant and valuable to the audience you're trying to attract so you can engage them once they find you. 2) Create conversation. The people who aren't following you yet aren't seeing your tweets, so how do you show them value and get them to discover you? Start a conversation! At Change Collective, we're rolling out our first course on Becoming an Early Riser. So I'll do a Twitter search for "need to wake up earlier" and find a bunch of people who are tweeting about the exact problem we're setting out to solve. By favoriting their tweets or replying with -- "That's great! We think we can help - check out our newest course & let us know what you think!" -- I'm getting our product on their radar and simultaneously providing value to them. 3) Ask for help. Start with your fellow team members, and ask them to share the company's Facebook posts or retweet some of your tweets. You can even create lazy tweets for them to share. What about your board members? Advisors? VCs? They all have a stake in helping your company grow awareness and adoption, so find an easy and appropriate way for them to help by leveraging their networks. And if you have friends and family who are excited about your business and supportive of what you're doing, they probably won't mind a friendly request to help spread the news every once in a while. Hope this helps! I just joined an early-stage startup and I'm currently building up our marketing from scratch. Happy to jump on a call and offer some tips from the trenches if you'd like. Best of luck!SB

I just opened a small, upscale, boutique style hair salon. Any ideas on how to market?
I have no experience with salons, but marketing is my thing. So I'll give you some suggestions of what to think about, followed by what to do. Do you have clients already (let's say from your working days at another salon)? If so, you can start profiling them. You can ask them to fill out a form in exchange for a free gift (maybe one of those creams you use in the salon), or an entry to a raffle (where the prize is valuable). In the profiling, you want to look out for which neighborhoods they live in, what kinds of activities they like to do, what kinds of social events they love to do, and their occupations. Then, using each of those profile data, you can market to more prospects who share the same characteristics. For example, - You can set aside a budget to send flyers to specific neighborhoods. In order to get people into the door, maybe you can offer a certain procedure for free in exchange for opportunities to win new regular customers. (You could theoretically do this with Groupon too, but you have less control of who comes into your door) - You could set up joint venture relationships with organizations like ball room dancing schools, professional associations, etc. You could offer an exclusive discount with those groups to entice potential customers to try out your service. More opportunities for you to win regular customers. - With certain demographic data, you can probably make the same offer by advertising on Facebook. If you target specific enough, you can get the price of acquiring the lead to be pretty cheap. You would have to figure out your typical lifetime value of your customers before deciding whether advertising on Facebook would be worthwhile. One last thing, you can offer gifts for your existing customers if they refer you people. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to chat with you. Hit me up on this platform.SL
