The average US adult spends at least 5.5 hours daily watching video content. Branded videos have never been more important for e-commerce sites than now.

Store retailers have one advantage that customers can actually see and feel the product before they buy it, but e-commerce stores can bridge that gap and provide customers with a more holistic shopping experience…with the help of promotional product videos.

Product and service videos boost your brand’s online presence and drive in sales. Here are a few video categories that e-stores should definitely integrate in their content strategy.

Product Overview Videos

Highlight and showcase what your product is really about with the help of product demonstration videos. From jewelry to home appliances, tech gizmos to clothes, product overview videos can communicate the product value to potential customers. If you’re showcasing a jewelry product, highlight its design and quality; if you’re demonstrating a home appliance, show its effectiveness.

Customer Testimonials

Build your brand’s credibility with the help of customer testimonial videos. Your customers will understand the value of your brand better when there’s someone advocating it on video rather than quotes on your website.

Testimonial videos truly capture the essence of everything your business has to offer. It makes shoppers feel more secure and confident about their purchase. Check this one out by FreshBooks.
