6 Benefits of an Animated Explainer Video

There are different types of videos that you can use.

In this article, I am going to talk about the benefits of animated explainer videos in general and for your business. Let’s dive right into it!

Part 1 Why Are Explainer Videos Effective?

Imagine this: you buy a product that needs to be assembled before it can be used. The manufacturing company has provided instructions on the packaging of the product but they aren’t clear to you. You go to the product page and you find an explainer video that shows you exactly how to assemble the product.

Let’s dive deeper into the benefits of explainer videos and who needs them.

1. Who Needs Explainer Video?

Explainer videos have a wide range of applications and use cases. Anyone and everyone can use them to send their message to their audience. Here are a few scenarios demonstrating the benefits of explainer videos.

● Scenario #1

You are a product company. Your product is quite unique and has multiple use cases. Animated explainers videos can help you demonstrate how to apply your product for all its use cases in just a single video.

● Scenario #2

You are an outsourcing company and you don’t feel like your website copy is doing a good job in establishing trust among your audience. You can create animated explainer videos explaining how your process works.

● Scenario #3

You are a content creator actively using social media channels like YouTube, Instagram, Clubhouse, Facebook, etc. You have a good following but the engagement on your videos isn’t as great as it used to be. You can use explainer videos to show how to turn on notifications to your YouTube channel, IG handle, etc.

2. Why You Need an Animated Explainer Video?

Here are a few reasons demonstrating the benefits of explainer videos and why you need them.

● If you’re a business with a service that is difficult to demonstrate and to sell, animated explainer videos can be used.

● This is the part why I prefer animated explainer videos against other forms of content. Animated explainer videos have lively characters and cartoons that send strong stimuli and trigger strong emotions that help your audience to retain your message and stay engaged.

● The impact of animated explainer videos is not limited just to scripts because of the extra elements you can use in them.

3. How Do Explainer Videos Help Businesses?

Here are a few stats about the power of video marketing and the benefits of explainer videos for businesses.
