Tech industries are continuously developing and launching new products and services. It is exciting and generally fast-paced. How do you make sure your target audience is always aware of new products being launched, how they work, and the benefits they offer? The answer is animated explainer videos.
Animated explainer videos are proven to be a top-performing marketing tool. The tech industry is highly competitive, and products are often complicated. The average attention span of a human is a minuscule 8 seconds. That’s all the time you have to point out the benefits of your product and how it works. The brain processes visual material much faster than it can process words. Animated video, in particular, really connects with people on an emotional level, so it is the best option for engaging and holding the full 8 seconds of the adult human attention span.

Animated videos combine the best of all the important elements of a great marketing pitch. They are short, visually exciting and stimulating, artistic, and based on a story. These are important elements because humans are visual and auditory learners. Animated videos address both the visual and auditory learning modes. Animated videos are great at visually explaining complex concepts that words cannot. So in far less time than other marketing methods, you can not only explain the benefits of your product and show how it works but also convert your viewer into a customer. It is proven that animated videos significantly increase conversions because people stay engaged with the video, make an almost immediate emotional connection with the video to the cartoons of their childhood, and can process the visual and aural information much faster than they can understand or read text.
