From ads to how-to's to expert interview and conference recordings, video can be a great medium to connect with the people who stand to get the most out of using your solution. A video is one of the best tools to do that because it leaves a lasting impression on those who watch it. Unlike the demo, the explainer is a low-cost way to demonstrate the power of your product as it can be placed readily available on your homepage for your audience to watch on their own terms.
