People love videos. They really do. If you’re not using a video popup on your site, you’re missing a golden opportunity to boost engagement, leads, and sales. Recent reporting from Wyzowl states that 79% of people confess to buying software or an app because of the brand’s persuasive video. And a completely mind-blowing 96% of people have watched an explainer video to learn more about a product or service. In fact, based on Wyzowl’s research, 68% of people said they’d rather learn about a new product or service from watching a short video than any other way. Even infographics only earned a meager 4% of the love! On top of all that, 48% of people said they were more likely to share a video they enjoyed than other types of content.
For a small to medium sized business owner who would like to incorporate video into their sales and marketing tools, WebsitesToolz video popups are just what you need. Video testimonials offer a great way for prospective customers to not only see and hear what current customers have to say about your company, but to make the connection even more relatable. The more engaging the video the better so that the prospective customer understands their challenges, recognizes that that they share the same issue, and see how working with your company or using your product can solve that problem for them too.
