Before we start, how can you know that these videos are actually great? There are certain elements that will set a great video apart –the right kind of animation, the use of engaging storytelling, and a professional animation company– but you’ll only be able to recognize high-quality videos if you’ve got a trained eye.

So let’s start with some training! Here we’ll show you a quick look into what makes these videos great – so you can learn how to recognize quality content at a glance (and also how to replicate this greatness in your own videos).

How to recognize a great Product Teaser Video

An engaging story

The story is the backbone of any video. It doesn’t matter how complex the information you need to communicate is; it can always be told in a way that’s easy to understand, and also interesting.

How? By using a basic storytelling structure of a beginning, a middle, and an end. In the beginning, you explain your prospect’s situation. In the middle, you explain what the problem is, and then you finish by telling the solution: buying your product or service.

When you have this, you’ll only have to add a relatable character, and you’ll have a winning product teaser video!

And, speaking of characters…

How well do you know your audience? If you know their characteristics, their pain points, demographics and psychographic data – then you have already done the hardest part of the job!

With this data, you can construct your buyer personas, which are the representations of your customers based on research. The great thing about buyer personas is that you’ll have a clear destination for your message: you’ll know exactly who you’ll be talking to!

Not only that, but you also get to model your video’s characters after your buyer personas. This way, the audience feels identified with the message, the video, and the brand!

Using the right kind of animation

There are many types of animated videos, and choosing the right style is crucial in order to make the best content for your brand.

Animated product teaser videos come in all shapes and colors. You can make a classic cartoon animated video or choose motion graphics instead for a more technical look… Or, depending on the message you need to communicate, you could also use whiteboard animation – this works extremely well if you need an educational approach.

The important thing is to choose the one that’ll fit better with your brand’s style and with the ‘look and feel’ of it.
