How often have you visited a page filled with lines of text stacked on top of each other talking about range of topics such as how to’s, an experience, a product or a service?
Let’s face it. It’s often hard to visualize or get a full understanding from static content. Now compare that to when you support your content or supplement it with digital videos. You can visually give your audience a more interactive and engaging experience. It will allow them to better understand and absorb content and increase their stay on your website. For every second your audience sticks around on your website digesting your content can result in an increase of engagement of your end goal be it user royalty, increase in retention or last but not least product purchases.
Too often site owners are faced with the complexity of adding videos to their web pages. Often they are overwhelmed with technical jargon and the many steps involved. Just take a look at this topic from Wikihow’s 13 step process. You may have better luck putting together an Ikea book case than following those steps.
