Five Ways Instructional Videos Support Sales

Instructional videos don't just make for great content but also support a product, service or training course in relaying important information to both staff and end-user clients. They help explain how things work through a visual medium that gets your points across.

An instructional video is usually a short, concise video that simply explains how your customer can use your product or service once they have purchased it. Whatever their purpose, instructional videos have a number of invaluable benefits to your business. Here are five that we hear all the time.

  1. Teach customers how to use what they just purchased. What better way to ensure that your customers know the best way to use the product they just purchased by actually showing them how it works.

  2. Show them how to put it together or replace a part. Perhaps what they purchased is something that requires assembly or maybe they need to replace something. By creating a video that presents a step-by-step guide it might make the purchase that little bit easier.

  3. Help instead of hyping. It is better to inform your customers rather than advertise to them. More and more people are starting to respond better to companies that offer support and assistance over a straight forward commercial campaign.

  4. Video caters to both visual and auditory learners. Some people retain educational material much better through audio. Video accommodates both styles of learning.

  5. Video is more shareable than text. External instructional videos used to educate and inform your audience are priceless pieces of content that can be easily shared through social media platforms or on remote platforms.
