Shocking, but true! <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Source: Packhelp)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When eCommerce brands create unboxing videos and try to share them via the right influencers, they can easily bring in a good amount of traffic to their site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an eCommerce business owner, you can contact any influencer who has a large chunk of your target audience as his\/her followers. You can approach them and see if they&#8217;d be willing to do an unboxing video for your product. And when they agree, you can send them any of your products for free as a token of gratitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&#8217;s important to maintain authenticity while creating these videos as people look forward to genuine and real video content online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Message from CEO\/Founder\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of videos help create a deep connection with your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can include stories about the company&#8217;s journey, your personal takeaways, future plans, and finally end it with a gratitude message thanking all your loyal customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example of a video from Animaker&#8217;s CEO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video link: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PESLjzH2Iok\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PESLjzH2Iok<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If used correctly, these types of videos can create a huge impact. It&#8217;s one of the ideal ways to personalize your brand and establish a solid relationship with your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Story-Based Videos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories! Don&#8217;t we all love hearing stories?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories about brands are always a huge hit amongst customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storytelling provides us with a means to communicate, connect, educate, and share information with our audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you add story-based videos to your digital marketing campaigns and web copies, you&#8217;d be able to relate with your target customers on a more emotional level. They&#8217;ll make your brand look more interesting and help you showcase what values you stand by.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the best examples of story-based video advertisements include<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We Believe &#8211; a story-based brand video campaign run by Gillette.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shares Ad campaign &#8211; run by Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Force &#8211; Volkswagen commercial<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buster the Boxer &#8211; A John Lewis Christmas Advertisement\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company Culture Videos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5402\" src=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Company-Culture-Videos.png\" alt=\"Company Culture Videos\" width=\"791\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Company-Culture-Videos.png 791w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Company-Culture-Videos-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/capturly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Company-Culture-Videos-768x535.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/free-vector\/hiring-agency-candidates-job-interview_4332392.htm#query=company%20culture&amp;position=6&amp;from_view=search\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like how storytelling helps brands showcase what values they stand by, company culture videos help in showcasing a brand&#8217;s personality, mission and values.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, more and more customers are mindful about what brands they support. So, a company culture video highlighting your brand&#8217;s mission and values will help in creating a stream of loyal customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some examples of interesting company culture videos are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Basecamp tries some coffee&#8221; from Basecamp\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Hubspot is the place to be&#8221; from Hubspot\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Show your fun side&#8221; from Zendesk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launch Videos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you come up with a set of new product features, you can create a product launch video highlighting all the benefits of the new features. You can also talk about how your product came to life, how you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsdesk.com\/blog\/ecommerce-customer-pain-points\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tackled customers\u2019 pain points<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using your creativity, you can also take this a bit further and conduct a few fun challenges to increase audience engagement. You can ask people to participate and use this as an opportunity to promote your new launches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a good example of a product launch video by Apple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short Commercial Videos<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These videos are of a shorter duration and usually talk about the product features, USP, new releases, etc. in a concise and engaging manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you add all the necessary elements within that short duration. Since these videos are shorter in duration, they have a higher engagement rate. The focus should be on hooking people to watch them till the very end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another advantage is that these videos can easily be created with very few resources. You don&#8217;t have to invest in expensive recording gadgets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decent computer and smartphone is all you need to create a successful commercial video.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Videos have somehow become a crucial part of eCommerce marketing.
