Videos Are The In Thing And Simply Convert Better Than Sales Pages

By Kamil Hamad


For sure there is nothing wrong with sales pages; however, videos convert sales much better than sales pages and can help you succeed where you have failed with regular landing pages. The first thing you need to realize is that people are much more willing to listen than to take the time to read through a bunch of information. You can make the landing page look as nice and as exciting as you wish, but a video is always going to win over the customers' attention.



The reason for the rise in video marketing is that most people have faster internet connections and can easily view them. In the past it did not make sense to use video because the internet connections could not support it. It could take 20 minutes just to view a small marketing video, not too mention all the bandwidth that it would take up. It was cost prohibitive to the marketer and well as the consumer.

Images and videos are powerful marketing tools. While videos aren't searchable themselves, SEO has been made quite easy for them, and they often appear at the top of search result pages. This helps drive people to your videos organically.

A video can be funny and interactive, which in turn will hold the viewers interest. A good video can even go viral and spread all over the internet. That really is the goal of video, to get it watched by as many people as possible. Consumers are more likely to share a video with friends, family and co-workers than a boring sales page.

As you can see, videos work better than text for converting visitors into customers. Try this on your next landing page and see how it can work for you.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you can imagine what a video is worth. This has been proven time and time again with the videos out performing sales pages by leaps and bounds. The question you might be wondering is why that is so, why does a video make such a massive difference and convert so much better than a perfectly designed sales page? There are a lot of factors that come into play in the equation, including psychology, the user impatience, the form of medium that most prefer. A lot of it has to do with the impatient nature of internet users, who will shy away from pages of text, but will gladly listen to a few minuet sales pitches. In many cases the ease of access to the information is key.
