It's clear in any marketing study - video is king of content. But can you take it even further?
Marketing is story telling.
A video lets you passively watch a story being told.
However an interactive video lets you sculpt the story.
Making your viewer an active participant in your marketing content takes engagement to the next level.
If you sell to schools you’ll know teachers and senior leaders are inundated with marketing messages every day. To grab their attention you need to deliver unique and compelling content.
We think interactive video should part of your sales and marketing toolkit.
"Consumers can engage with a brand one-on-one and have an actual conversation based on their response. This new type of video gives the viewer the ability to interact with the content itself creating a user experience like no other."
Interactive video ideas
Consider the benefits that interactive videos offer:
- Product training – Let your staff and customers pick routes through a training video to improve engagement.
- Lead qualification – ‘Choose your own adventure’ style interactivity to drive actions.
- Data capture – Record ‘hot point’ clicks and move prospects through your sales process based on their interests.
Are they complicated and expensive to create? No. With platforms like Mindstamp or Interactr, it’s super simple.
All you need to do is write a script, practice, hit record, and you’ll soon get your best take.
