The Benefits of Interactive Video

01. Generate Leads

With a variety of interactive options teamed with the power of an animated explainer video, interactive videos are your new secret weapon in your digital marketing toolkit, unlocking a whole new content stream to help maximise your sales.

Use interactive videos to gather contact information, understand the specific needs of your customers, and respond to enquiries and requests. All while keeping your audience entertained, which makes viewers more likely to delve into the rest of your content. Improve website traffic, click through rates (CTR) and social media engagement with interactive videos and generate leads for your business!

02. Gather Feedback with Engaging Video Surveys and Forms

Let's be honest, nobody likes completing traditional surveys or forms; they’re lengthy, time-consuming and unstimulating. With interactive video, however, you can turn this once laborious task into a hyper-engaging experience. Guide viewers through each question like never before, increasing form completions and ultimately gathering more of the data you need. This innovative design will drive user engagement and help build interest in your brand.

There are plenty of design options available, from multiple choice questions to long text submission. Access insights to see detailed viewer responses and get all the data you need from your audience. 

03. Teach, Train & Test with Immersive E-Learning

Deliver revolutionary corporate training with interactive video. Showcase scenarios, ask questions and personalise the learning experience like never before. Interactive training videos really speak for themselves.

  • E-learning becomes easier, intuitive and enjoyable for learners of all ages.
  • Ask questions and easily get answers from every participant.
  • Interact with anything on screen.
  • Personalise each learning experience to suit the education level, age range and background of your class.

Whether your interactive videos are deployed in remote training or in-person lecturers, seminars and lessons, it’s guaranteed to provide an impressive experience for anyone in attendance and reinforce the information you’re presenting in their memory.


Intuitive Story Mapping for Each Video

Like any Squideo video, a storyboard is created to map the journey of the viewer. The only difference is this story branches out into lots of potential plots the viewer can follow, making it fun to revisit. Check out the image below to get an idea of how we break down the storyboard for an interactive video.

With your Squideo interactive video, you are guaranteed: 

  • Your own interactive platform. Access your own interactive video library anytime and anywhere.
  • Seamless embedding. Our SCORM-compliant interactive videos are easily embedded into other websites and e-learning platforms.
  • Understanding of viewer interactions. Track interactions and see how each viewer navigates through each of your interactive videos.

Struggling to turn website visitors into actual customers? You’re not alone. High traffic means nothing if confused users leave without converting. Whether it’s unclear messaging, overwhelming copy, or a lack of instant clarity; these issues silently kill conversions. In fact, most visitors decide whether to stay or bounce in under 10 seconds. That’s where explainer videos come in. They simplify, clarify, and sell. Below, you’ll discover five proven strategies to fix low CVR with video, all designed to keep users engaged, informed, and ready to take act 1. Hold Attention Instantly: The 10‑Second Rule Most UX studies highlight that website visitors often bounce from a page in just 10–20 seconds unless they’re presented with a clear value proposition immediately. Explainer videos solve that by offering a play button - a low commitment invitation. On average, 79% of users prefer watching a video over reading text, and 97% say the right explainer helped them better understand a product. Action Tip: Place your explainer video above the fold and keep it to 60 seconds or less. That time frame aligns with best practices and keeps users engaged. 2. Cut Through Overload by Simplifying Complex Ideas When visitors don't understand what you're offering, they leave. Explainer videos work because visuals and narration stick better than text. In fact, viewers retain 95% of a message from a video versus only 10% from reading. They also help unpack intricate information, like SaaS features or internal processes, which might otherwise overwhelm. Action Tip: Use animation to highlight how your product solves a problem or improves life, not just what it does. 3. Build Trust Quickly Without Walls of Text Trust is a key conversion driver. When people land on your site, they want answers fast. They’re not looking to scroll through paragraphs to figure out what you do. They want clarity and confidence. That’s why explainer videos are so powerful. They build trust by simplifying your message and delivering it in a way that’s easy to understand and hard to forget. Brands using explainer videos report up to an 81% boost in sales conversions, and some see support tickets drop by over 50%, because the video handles the heavy lifting upfront. There's real science behind it, too. Studies show that people retain information better when it’s delivered through both visuals and audio. An explainer video does exactly that, combining clean animation with clear narration to connect faster and stick longer. If trust is the barrier, video is your shortcut. 4. Seamlessly Guide Viewers to Take Action Explainer videos should end with a clear and compelling CTA. After 90 seconds of content, viewers are primed to act. Videos don’t just engage, they drive deeper attention. Landing pages with video keep visitors on-site longer, increase click-throughs, and boost conversions. Action Tip: Combine your video with a strong visual CTA right below, like “Book a Demo” or “Watch the Next”. 5. Multiply Touchpoints, Multiply Conversions Explainer videos don’t live on landing pages alone. Deploy them across email campaigns, social ads, pitch decks, and internal comms - honestly the list goes on! One study shows that personalised videos in outreach emails can lead to 5× higher open rates and 8× more replies. Action Tip: Reuse your core 60‑second explainer in trimmed formats for LinkedIn, YouTube prereels, and support libraries. Explainer videos aren’t just a marketing accessory, they’re high-conversion powerhouses. When done with clarity, creativity, and strategic placement, they become your silent salesperson. Squideo’s style is clean 2D visuals, a flair for storytelling , and a rhythm that keeps viewers watching. Got a brief ready? Share it with us today for a free , no-pressure quote.
