Animated videos help business users create professional animated videos both as new marketing content and tutorials for customers

Why Use Animated Video?
It’s no more a secret that animated video is quickly becoming the most powerful and effective marketing tool for online businesses. Whether it is a 30 sec clip of an explainer video of 2 minutes, animation brings your concepts and ideas alive. Through compelling stories, you can convey your message and help your audience to grab the attention.

Many think that animated videos are only meant for kids, but the fact is adults too love the presentation, creativity, and the touch of technology that significantly affect the target audience.

People like moving objects more than static images. A moving article (whether 2 or 3 dimensional) makes your brain more active than a one-dimensional promotional graphic. It will surely take the view longer when a promotion is presented before the viewer with all its stats and information in an engaging way along with the option of rewinding and reviewing, again and again, the message until it is clear. It increases the view time of the web page as well as ranking in SEO.

Branding With Animated Video

This is the great potential animated video has that increase the targeted traffic and views.

Sharing promotional videos in social media platform are incredibly efficient. While consumers view the videos (of the product they are using) in the social media, they feel unified. In the current era, people are more prone to believe what is published on the internet and never question its authenticity. So a video created logically and intelligently, builds relation with the viewers and influences them to stay attached to the brand.

Animated videos are more professional than low-cost shoot videos. If a marketer’s budget is low, a shooting video may be picturized in a dark – shabby place with inferior film quality. This holds up the proper branding of the product and results in ‘zero’ or low revenue for the company, as well as damages the reputation in the industry.
