Explainer Videos
What are explainer videos and why use them?
an explainer video (also known as a homepage video, overview video or conversion video) is designed to explain your company, product, service or subject in a way that your audience can understand in two minutes or less. Most explainer videos cover four key points: the problem, the solution, the features and benefits, and how the solution works.
The key to a solid explainer is keeping it short and engaging, while still conveying the right information. No matter what you’re explaining, an explainer video should leave your viewers with a clear understanding of what you do and a desire to take the next step.

When and how should I use an explainer video?

Places to put your explainer video: homepages, product or service pages, newsletters, trade shows, and sales meetings.
