Video for Landing Pages
March 31, 2011
According to a study from Eye View Digital, the addition of video to a website’s landing page increased user engagement and conversion by 80%.
This is in no way surprising.
A few reasons why video lifts landing page conversion rates:
- Humans are lazy; most prefer watching content over reading it.
- Video stimulates both the eyes and the ears, which engages the viewer and helps them to focus on your message.
- People who watch videos stay on web pages longer, giving your brand more time to stick.
- A well produced video earns the viewer’s respect and helps to gain their trust.
