TL;DR

TL;DR – Too Long Didn’t Read. So often the information we are given is too long and we lose interest before we get all the information we need. Putting that information in a video keeps visitors engaged and allows you to communicate your message more effectively. Videos on websites where the ‘presenter’ is an actor and not you or an employee often lack authenticity. These videos on websites can be replaced with video explainers that can be without sound, have background music or can use a voice-over artist at very reasonable rates.

3 good reasons to add a video to your website

  1. Interest – 20% of visitors will read the majority of text on a website, and 80% will watch the same information when presented in a video.
  2. Conversion – Adding a video to your website makes your site six times more likely to convert a visitor into a paying customer.
  3. Optimisation – A visitor will stay on a website for an average of 57 seconds if no video… but will stay 6 minutes on a website with a video. Research shows that more than three out of five consumers will happily invest two minutes in a video that explains a product they are thinking of purchasing whilst 37% will watch for over three minutes. Great for search engine optimisation (SEO) – Google ranks web pages on how long people stay on the page.

But I'm not comfortable infront of a camera!

Appearing in a video can be daunting; it’s almost as bad as the fear of public speaking (Glossophobia), that is a very common phobia and one that is believed to affect up to 75% of the population.  Speaking in front of a camera is almost as bad and I’m sure you’ve seen ‘owners’ woodenly talking about their business and this is someone who is really vibrant and outgoing in a group. 

If you don’t have the confidence to do a video – then don’t. You don’t have to be in front of the camera yourself we can create explainer videos for you that use images and graphics, and text to get your message across. If that is not enough we have worked with professional voice-over artists (they don’t have to cost a fortune) to pass on your message.
