Why Should You Hire a Video Production Company?

Adam Shelton

With all the amazing, modern DIY resources available online, you might wonder if it’s worth creating a video by yourself instead of turning to an experienced yet costlier video production company.

There have been leaps and bounds in production software, which makes it a dream for inexperienced creators to create something pretty exciting. What software cannot provide, however, is expertise, knowledge, advanced production tools and best practice. 


Do It Yourself vs. The Professionals

Videos are a powerful business tool, which entertain, educate and engage your target audience. 

Going it alone in the production stage might save money, but you could lose out in the long run. After all, why waste your budget on a video that might not perform? Cheaper isn’t always best and a low-quality video can damage public perception of your brand.

DIY software also lacks user support, so if you hit a speedbump along the way it can derail an entire project. 

Quality, well-planned video production doesn’t have to cost your entire marketing budget. Costs will depend on your video requirements, but Squideo provides the best 'quality-to-cost' ratio on the planet. Since 2015, our in-house creative team have produced over 5000 explainer videos for every industry imaginable; creating a lot of happy clients along the way. 


More Than a Video

Squideo takes key information then supports and guides you through a unique creative process, resulting in a quality video that looks great and sends exactly the right message.

When crafted by a quality production company like Squideo, you will receive a video that meets your project requirements and comes guaranteed with the following qualities:

  • Professional quality
  • Impactful and eye-catching
  • Time saving and cost-effective 
  • A clear call-to-action (CTA)
  • Good return on investment (ROI)

Our unique creative process guarantees a lot, even more than a video. Unlike DIY software, Squideo provides a range of customer services and whitelabel extras to ensure you receive a video that meets your every requirement. 

01. Dedicated Account Manager

Your dedicated Account Manager is on hand to support you every step of the way, discussing your ideas, filling in the gaps and implementing your feedback through each stage of production.

02. Music and Voiceover 

With an array of extras included such as a voiceover, licensed music and subtitles, your video can be understood anywhere by anyone. And unlike other video production companies, Squideo doesn’t charge for these basic inclusions. 

03. Scriptwriting Service

We have our own in-house professional Copywriter who can turn even the most complex process into an interesting and engaging message for your video script. With unlimited revisions, another burden is taken off your team.

04. Digital Marketing Team

We have an in-house marketing team who can provide you with full-service digital marketing skills to drive traffic to your website and generate video views.

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.
