Explainer video examples

How do you take something as mundane as taxes and actually get people to pay attention? The answer is motion graphics. Using colorful imagery and an informative voiceover, we created a piece that communicates something that not even a 5,000-word instruction manual could get across. In just one minute.

Anark Corporation approached us to create an explainer video to communicate all of the different facets of their complex service. Effective use of motion graphics allowed us to highlight the key value propositions of their service in an engaging video just over one minute in length.

WHEN

When to use an Explainer video

Explainer videos are typically used early in the marketing funnel to increase interest among viewers who are considering your product or service. They are best used to give viewers a better understanding of your offering and drive them to take the next step toward becoming a customer.

WHERE

Where to distribute

With their short length and concise messaging, explainer videos can be put on your website’s homepage and sales pages and can be used in newsletters, trade shows, and social media to engage audiences that may be interested in what your business has to offer.

 

Animation or Live Action?

Animated explainer videos have become popular with marketers. Motion graphics or character animation can help to elevate your message, keep viewers engaged, and improve understanding of complex concepts. Other times, however, a live human touch is the best way to address your audience. The production experts at Digital Spark will work closely with you to determine your needs and help you decide whether motion graphics, animation, or live-action will be best to present your message.

 

WHY

Why use Explainer videos?

 

Explainer videos offer countless benefits that help brands build their audience, drive conversions, and increase sales revenue.

 

Drive conversions

A convincing video can give your viewers the understanding they need to make a purchase. A recent study suggests that landing pages with explainer videos convert 86% better than those without a video.

Multi-channel marketing

These videos are very versatile and can be used just about everywhere, including your website, email and social media campaigns, sales presentations, and more.

Lead generation

According to a study by Oberlo, marketers were able to get 66% more qualified leads annually with explainer videos.

Clear, memorable messaging

Users tend to retain 95% of a video message, compared to just 10% message retention when reading plain text.

 

TIPS

What makes an effective Explainer video?

Above all else, explainer videos should be short, sweet, and to the point. Viewers are often in the consideration stage and don’t want to sit around for 10 minutes learning about something that they may or may not be interested in. The effective use of graphics and concise scripting can help you address important value propositions in just two minutes or less.

Explainer videos should be:

  • Short (2 minutes or less)

  • Concise

  • Conversational/Casual

  • Focused on benefits

  • Built around generating conversions

Every explainer video should finish with a clear and motivating call-to-action that encourages audiences to take the next step.
