High Conversion Rates
Including a video about your product on the landing page can boost conversions by 80%. Watching a video about a product makes it more likely that the viewer will buy it. The video can also have tutorials, testimonials, or be an explainer video. Watching a video makes it easier for the consumer to decide to purchase your product or service.
