Onboarding Videos

Meet-The-Team Videos

Support Videos

Customer, when faced with an issue, sends out an email detailing the issue to the support team. The support team, then, responds to an answer and most of the time it doesn’t end with a single email exchange. It goes on and on resulting in a chunk of email exchanges even for a small issue. This process can eat away a considerable amount of time and productivity. It also becomes difficult to schedule one on one calls for every small issue put forth.

Do you know the difference between Customer Support and Customer Success? Check out my infographic here stating the clear differences between them.

Customer Stories

Sharing customer stories strengthens your product offerings, helps your customers in understanding how the product can be put to use at its best and creates an opportunity for upselling.

Customer’s word of mouth works far better than vouching for one’s own product. When your customer advocates your product, it builds trust among your prospects. It serves as a proof that you do solve customer’s problems and provide benefits. A study reveals that website visitors are 64 percent more likely to follow through with a conversion after watching a video.

“Videos build trust and are seen more believable”

Personalized Campaign Videos
