A block of text accompanied by a few photos might represent your products/services, but why not introduce potential clients to your business in an exciting yet informative way?
A promotional video on your homepage can help you do that. According to Comscore, visitors who view a website video stay on that website an average of two minutes longer and are 64% more likely to purchase.
Think of the last time you visited a new website and were curious of the products/services they offer. Would you rather spend a lot of time searching through the website for answers, or simply press ‘play’ on a homepage video that will answer all your questions?
Some ideas for homepage video content:
- A tour of your facilities – Show them where the magic happens. The tangible image of what it’s like to be in your facilities (if you offer a service clients have to be there for) or the space in which products are created that clients might be interested in provides a sense of familiarity and comfort. It also shows off your professional work environment.
- Product demonstration – Nothing shows off a product better than demonstrating how it works. Often times clients shy away from trying new products because they’re confused about their functionalities. By showing a step-by-step demonstration of how your product is used, clients will be able to better decide how it can benefit them.
- Top benefits of your products/services – Sometimes clients turn away from products or services because they don’t fully understand what it can do for them. By presenting why your products/services are beneficial and the best ways others have used them to their advantage, clients will be be able to better understand how your products/services fit into their routine.
- FAQs – This is the quickest and most efficient way to answer customer questions. Instead of clients spending a lot of time browsing through your website for answers, they can watch a 1-2 minute video that will break everything down for them.
- Staff introductions – Showing the people behind the product/service also creates a sense of familiarity, comfort and most importantly, trust. Clients are more likely to gravitate towards professionals if they get sense of who they are.
A pleasant first impression is very important to decisions your consumers make later on about your business. Give them what they want, and you’ll get what you need in return.
