Bottom Line: Online Video Increases Conversions
According to new consumer research from the e-tailing group and Invodo, 57% of online consumers feel more confident when watching product videos before making purchases online. This is an increase of nearly 10% over last year’s online video survey.
Confident shoppers are happy shoppers, and online video helps to create positive sentiments towards your brand. This feeling likely stems from video’s ability to show and demonstrate the product in a realistic environment: more than 2 out of 3 shoppers claimed that video helped them to understand how the product really works. It’s tough to buy something online without being able to try it out like you could in a store, but video helps to bridge that gap.
In addition, shoppers are also increasingly likely to be driven to purchase (40%, up from 31%), to purchase more (44%, up from 37%), and to shop again (45%, up from 41%) with retailers who provide online video. It also doesn’t hurt that increased confidence translates to reduced returns. All of these are great for the retailer – who can argue with more sales more often? And that’s not even taking the effects of a satisfied consumer, including positive reviews and brand loyalty, into account.

Online Shoppers Love Video Ads
How effective is video advertising on the web? Conversion rates for regular web ads can be tiny — 1 percent or less.
But recent research suggests that once consumers start watching video ads — especially videos that include product demonstrations — purchase conversion rates can skyrocket.
More than half of consumers feel more confident in their purchases after watching an online video, and 66 percent who watch videos more than once will eventually purchase something, according to stats compiled by eMarketer.
“Fully 85% of those polled said they would watch a video that educated them about a product they were interested in for at least 1 minute. However, the percentage of customers willing to spend a minute watching a video that specifically lacked a demonstration dropped to 65 percent,” eMarketer wrote.
It’s no surprise where viewers are seeing these ads. YouTube, obviously, is the most-watched source of product videos.
But Facebook — not traditionally known as a video medium — is a huge source of product demo videos, too.
According to a May 2012 survey by Google and Compete (the online traffic measurement service), apparel shoppers turned to consumer-generated video content even more than marketer-produced video.
And how do people feel about these ads? They like them, a lot.
The Google/Compete survey showed that 25 percent of online shoppers who used video for research made multiple purchases; whereas only 16 percent of other shoppers who did not use video.
