Animation Ideas for Business

Create an Explainer Video with Twine

Animation isn’t just for entertainment anymore – it’s become a vital part of everyday living – so, as a business, it’s about time you got some animation ideas. An explainer video, that can be used to show your products or demonstrate services in a quick, easy form of media, is an excellent way to start. 

Investing in an explainer video for your business can be pretty big, so it’s important to do it right. To make matters more confusing, there are lots of freelancer services or agencies, that offer to work with your animation ideas and make the content for you.

In such an overly saturated market, it can be hard to know who to turn to for your explainer video woes… so, why Twine?

Well, explainer videos don’t come cheap and can often be time-consuming to make. In terms of animation ideas, an explainer video is up there with more of the high-maintenance options. 

However, if done right, you should see an instant increase in conversions. In fact, here are 5 reasons an explainer video is the best next step for any business – whether a startup or a global corp!

Why Your Business Needs an Explainer Video

1. Compelling 
   

   Let’s face it – videos are far more engaging and dynamic than text or static images. Not to mention, they’re a great way of adding in CTA’s (calls to action), as people aren’t even aware they’re being sold a product to – explainer videos come across as simply informative and educational. 

2. Shareable
   

   Even for just SEO alone, video is much more effective than writing – there’s a reason YouTube is so successful: 30-second clips are easily digestible and allow the viewer to quickly share without even consciously thinking about it.

3. 8-Second Rule
   

   The truth is, as a business, studies show you’ve got about 8 seconds to not only capture, but keep your audience’s attention. In those 8 seconds, you want to engage your audience to the point they stay on your website.

4. Increased Conversions

   A well-designed explainer video can increase conversions from 15% up to 50%. Not bad, huh?  

5. Adds Personality
   
   A video can convey much more information – in a shorter time frame – than text alone. Not only that, explainer videos are entertaining! When your audience thinks of your brand, you want them to think fun and engaging, not boring, forgettable text…

An explainer video created wrong can mean you’ve shelled out hard-earned cash for nothing. So, you want a service that can help you navigate through this quagmire. Cue Twine!
