It is exactly that – an explainer video, it’s informational and explains what the company offers, how it can help their consumers and also provides information about a product or a service.
What makes an explainer video?
How can you actually recognize this video? What does it contain that makes it different from an ordinary marketing video?

It is focused on the target audience and it speaks to them, it meets their needs and makes them feel that they can identify with the product or the company. The interesting feature is the animation part, where animated characters are explaining the product and conveying the message. The creators of the explainer video should also have in mind the company’s brand colors and implement them in the video – it has to have the brand’s look and feel for better identification of the product. Not to forget the voice-over artist who is the instructor in the video and explains each feature or characteristic of the product through special sound effects that make this video interactive.
Benefits of creating an explainer video for your company

Conveys your message in the shortest time possible
One of the main feature of the explainer video is being short. Nowadays, people avoid watching long and dull videos, they always prefer choosing shorter ones where they would catch the meaning and idea in the first minute or two. Having in mind that people’s attention span is only 8.25 seconds long, you definitely need to go for a short and concise video to tell your story. Otherwise, people would lose interest in what you have to say in 5 minutes long story.
Getting more conversions
This goes in line with the above-mentioned length of the video. If it is short, it captures your audience’s attention and with that, it increases their interest. If your audience is interested this means that you have more chances of increased conversions. Studies show that explainer videos can grow your conversions by 20%!
Video content will boost your online visibility
Creating videos will engage your audience. If you do that with short explainer videos, your audience will love to stay longer on your website, watch your videos, and help you with online visibility. Also, your videos can be published on other platforms, such as YouTube and your ranking will be higher.
Brand awareness
When you use the look and feel of your brand in the videos, any viewer will be able to recognize it when watching the videos. Even after 5 seconds of the video, your audience will recognize your brand, and half of the work is done for you.
