No more long timeframes and big budgets – now using presentation experts, you can create an explainer video that has a powerful structure and story and it can be produced in Prezi or PowerPoint. Here’s how to approach creating an explainer video for your product or service:
- Start with a clear objective and a clean piece of paper. Why are you creating this video? What do you want to explain? What action do you want to elicit once someone has seen it?
- Write a script that tells a story – defining your idea and why it matters to the audience will help you connect, engage and inspire action.
- Get to the point – think of it as an elevator pitch. You could tell your story in a traditional 40 slide deck in an hour. But would you say if you only had 2 minutes?
- Use attention-grabbing and vibrant graphics – we all love to be visually entertained. Words and numbers consume our working day, so having something that visually entices us will be a welcome break.
You also don’t need to worry about the production being a big, lengthy or expensive exercise. Call one of our presentation experts and we’ll take your time or budget constraints into mind when creating a custom made video that will connect your product or service with your audience.
