Your time frame is limited, usually to a minutes and 30 seconds. People have an attention span that is comparable to a goldfish nowadays so you can’t afford to lose out on that luxury (attention). Plan ferociously in your explainer video as you would for your marketing strategy. If people leave your video midway, they are those potential customers that you are losing out on. They won’t get to your call to action and hence they won’t know what you have to offer.
A minute and 30 seconds is long enough to keep the viewers entertained while you subtly convey your message and call the viewers to action. As the acronym goes – KISS: Keep it simple and smart.

3.    Know your Style

Explainer videos come in many shapes and forms. You have to know which style is best for your business’s marketing strategy and align it with the overall goals of your business.

For instance, if  your immediate goal is to make a shareable video (directing people to your website and showing them what you got) in the hopes of getting it viral on social media so that more leads (and eventually new customers) are generated. You may want to have a video that educates your target audience about something you deeply care about as an organization to save up on future marketing and sales efforts. Set your video’s goals accordingly and make it more effective. It will also help you decide on aspects such as tone and the length of the video.
