Real-World Examples: How Brands Use Videos
- LEGO increased engagement with dynamic videos aimed at families and children (watch the video). The 30-second video showcases the Minecraft Baby Pig House set (#21268), helping parents visualize the product and its use. For toys and games, showing both assembly and the final result boosted average sales by 32.7% in the Toys category.
- Pembrook used simple videos to clearly demonstrate product functionality, reducing uncertainty (watch the video). The 32-second video shows Pembrook Light Compression Socks in action, addressing comfort and fit questions. In apparel and wearable goods, focusing on fit, context, and adaptability reduced returns and increased average sales by 30.5% in the Apparel category.
- Olanly highlighted product quality and design by showcasing details hard to capture in photos (watch the video). The 29-second video places the Olanly bath rug in a real environment, helping customers grasp size and usage.
