How to Use Product Videos to Increase Amazon Sales

Imagine searching for a product on Amazon and seeing two listings: one with static images and the other with a short video showing the product in use. The second option, besides being clearer, offers a more immersive experience capable of influencing the purchase decision. In recent years, adding videos to Amazon product pages has become a key factor in boosting engagement, clarifying product usage, and reducing returns. This article provides an overview of the advantages, requirements, and best practices for integrating effective videos into your listings.

Why Use Videos on Amazon Product Pages

Images are essential, but they’re no longer enough. Videos allow users to see the product in action, understand its size, features, and usage. Multiple studies demonstrate higher conversion rates for listings that include videos compared to those relying solely on images and text.

Note Amazon rewards quality: well-optimized, error-free product pages convert better and enjoy increased visibility.

How to Create an Effective Amazon Video

A successful Amazon video must be concise, clear, and focused on the buyer’s needs. It doesn’t need to be a full commercial, but a straightforward demonstration showing the product in real use.

Phase	Guideline
1	Show the product in use
2	Keep the duration under 60 seconds
3	Explain features in a sequential, direct manner
4	Use a style consistent with your brand
5	Include a closing that encourages purchase

Effective Closing Example "Order today to discover all the benefits of our product."

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. Contextualized videos are especially effective for home goods, leading to a 26.7% average sales increase in the Home category.
