Let’s look at some of the many ways you can use video to increase sales, reduce costs and educate the people you provide goods and services to.
Explainer videos
Explaining why a prospect should hire you or buy from you is not easy. You need to convey to your potential client:
- The benefits gained by hiring your firm over the competition.
- The value of some of your more unique product or service offerings.
- What sets you apart from the competition. (Your Unique Selling Proposition.)
- Why they should trust you.
An explainer is a short animated video that focuses on explaining an idea in a simple, engaging and compelling way. This is accomplished by using a clear and concise language; appealing and attractive visuals that quickly grab the viewer’s attention.
Many of the example videos below are explainer videos.
MANAGED SERVICES

The key to converting web site visitors into leads is to engage them, keep them on your site as long as possible, and ultimately get them to heed a call to action. This is exactly what conversational marketing videos are designed to do. These types of videos are ideal for selling cyber security-related services. The next texting video uses a technique called video-in-video to improve engagement.
Scripted Text Message Conversation That Tells A Story – Cybersecurity
Videos (if done well) are more engaging than text or images. They can contain forms that viewers can fill out (name, email address, etc.), or even a survey or a poll that allows you to collect information about them.

Marketing videos help you build your marketing list and generate pre-qualified leads. It is safe to say that engagement increases dramatically with video which, in turn, leads to new prospects and increased sales.

Explainer videos can also be used to educate your existing customers. Imagine how much less time your help desk would spend walking your customers through basic procedures like how to report spam, reset their passwords or how to access the VPN if you had a video walking them through these common procedures. Imagine how happy your customers will be when they find out that they can get easy-to-understand self-help any time of the day or night.

instructional videos
Getting tired of explaining to your clients how to reset a certain password, log onto their VPN, or not click links in funny looking emails? You can certainly create written documentation explaining how to perform common tasks and procedures, but it is hard these days to get people to read anything.
Of course a picture is worth a thousand words but a video is worth a thousand pictures. Wouldn’t it make more sense to create a video recording of your screen as you perform (and narrate) the procedure? You could then brand these videos, post them on a LMS (Learning Management System), web portal or YouTube, and allow your clients to view them so they can self-educate.
Videos can also be used to educate your employees as you bring new ones on-board. Not only can they be used for common procedures, they can also be used to educate them on basic company policies, HR-related matters and customer service practices.
interactive videos
