Explainer videos can effectively sell your financial services to interested clients.
Consumers have become more digitally savvy than ever. It’s essential for marketers to deliver content that speaks to them directly. These videos inform consumers about your business in an easily understood format.
At SlideGenius, we help clients make themselves more accessible to prospective customers by creating engaging explainer videos.
Challenges of Marketing Finance
On the surface, finance marketing already comes with big tasks. There is a large portion of consumers that do not trust big financial institutions. These people simply subscribe to notions that firms cheat them out of their money. Others who are willing to utilize financial services, are faced with an industry filled with numerous brands and very little differentiation.
These challenges stem from false or misguided information being spread to consumers. Explainer videos are capable of showcasing the right information in an understandable format. These videos can effectively breakdown how your company does business, exhibiting complete transparency.
Here are some things to consider while creating an explainer video.
Keep Explainers Short
Effective explainers should only be one or two minutes long. Overexplaining every facet of your business will only lose your audience’s interest. Being clear and concise about your solutions is important to landing new clients.
Having a tightly written script will create room for your visuals to shine. The audio and visual fluidity will engage your viewers without overloading them with too much information. Having content that’s quick and understandable makes it easier for consumers to get up-to-speed on the solutions your company provides.
Be Direct with Your Explanations
The most crucial part of the explainer is its introduction. Make your message clear within the first 30 seconds of your video. You can start by proposing a thought-provoking problem or question to spark the interest of your audience. This simple trick quickly contextualizes what you are about to delve into. It’s a way to get your audience to frame their understanding from their point-of-view.
The connection you build at the start will guide the message for the rest of the video. You risk losing the interest of your audience entirely if you don’t hook them from the very start.
Sell Your Finance Solutions
Be concise and informative when explaining your solutions. You want people to learn about your offerings without making them feel like their time wasted by useless information.
Focus on the essentials of your solutions, avoiding overly complicated topics that may muddy the message of the video.
This is the real meat of your video. It’s your chance to fully showcase what differentiates your unique services from your competitors. Keep the language light so your video feels relatable to the audience. It will also create more room for you to conceptualize creative visuals to fill the screen.
Highlight the Benefits
When presented with a new service, consumers naturally ask “what’s in it for me?” Instead of just listing the features of your solution, explain to clients how they benefit from choosing you as their partner. You can promise personalized customer service or greater savings in the long run. Clients just want to know how they profit from working closely with you.
Your script can convey relatable scenarios that highlight how your solutions help people grow their money. This makes it easier for clients to envision how your service fits into their needs. The faster clients can decide about starting a partnership, the better.
Close with a Catchy Call-to-Action
Drive your message home with strong closing statements. A call-to-action can influence your audience to act the way you want them to.
Be it to generate more sign-ups or website hits, you place the power in your audience’s hands to start reaching out to you. Good CTAs maintain the connection you’ve built throughout the video, well after it has finished playing.
While arresting visuals are sure to grab the attention of your audience, it’s the content and script that must push them to partner up with you. By inviting them to stay in contact, it sends a clear message of confidence and transparency that emphasizes your company’s expertise.
