In the vast digital landscape, video content reigns supreme. As such, you’ll need to know how well your videos are performing, or else it will be a waste of valuable resources. To measure success in terms of ROI (Return on Investment), you need to clearly define what constitutes successful metrics for your campaign and then set clear objectives that can help provide insight into whether changes need to be made before negative ROI occurs.
ESTABLISH AND RECORD A BASELINE OF METRICS
When you measure video success, it’s vital to understand what your objective is. Is the primary goal of this video for brand awareness? Customer education? Revenue creation—or something else entirely? Understanding your business objectives will dictate how and what you track to achieve a successful campaign. For some companies, there isn’t just one specific metric that can be quantified as “success.” Instead, success could mean any number of different things:
- Improved customer service
- More sales than before
- Increased search engine rankings
- Website traffic
Your business goals are unique and should always drive decisions when creating explainer videos to maximize the company’s performance!
Link your CRM or Marketing Automation Software with a video hosting platform.
To get the best results for your company, you need a precise and well-thought-out plan. One simple analysis could be done by recording the leads before and after using a explainer video. This result will show how much impact your products or service has on customers as soon as it is launched. But it can be taken even further when using a quality video host that collects data and gives metrics that can be utilized.
When linking to CRM or marketing automation software, it allows more than one variable to be analyzed across different scenarios, so no stone is left unturned with new product launches and maximizing ROI across all channels!
You can track engagement by measuring the number of comments on a blog post, social media likes, and how many people sign up for your email list. You could also measure traffic to other pages from the landing page or conversion rates on specific web pages.
These metrics are also helpful when assigning lead scores. Lead scoring is used to assign points based on the engagement a user has with your product or service over time. It can help you segment users into groups that share common behaviors, such as if they have viewed 50% of an explainer video, you assign 25 points for this action. If they viewed 90%, you assign 45 points, but if someone signed up for your email list, then 100 points are automatically given because it shows interest in what you offer them.
The goal of this system is to provide the sales department with a list of people who have reached specific scores and are in need of more information or assistance. Understanding lead scoring is an integral part of optimizing your user experience. Lead score assignment can help segment users into groups that share common behaviors and interests, which could then be used to tailor content or marketing messages accordingly.
Calculate ROI considering your KPIs.
A key performance indicator or KPI is a way to measure how well your company is achieving its goals. To do this, you need first to clarify what purpose you want to achieve and then decide which metrics will be best for the success of that particular gauge. Different KPIs are displayed as values showing progress towards the achievement of qualified leads, amount of new pipeline created/ generated, revenue gained from these efforts in relation to time frames. If you look at each account’s data combined with video analytics across all accounts, it can help establish details on tracking qualified leads, influenced Pipeline, and Influenced Revenue.
TOP OF THE FUNNEL
When someone watches more than 60% of your explainer video, that account gets sent over to the sales for further review.
MIDDLE OF THE FUNNEL
Once your leads are qualified, they become part of your overall pipeline.
BOTTOM OF THE FUNNEL
Check how an explainer video influenced the number of closed deals.
As you see, when you invest in an explainer video is because you want to achieve specific results. By gaining clarity on your objective, you can begin to track the relevant metrics that are important for your business goals and measure them accordingly with data from before you launched a new campaign or series of videos. If your goal is revenue generation, then it’s helpful if all sources of traffic are recorded, such as website visits (through CRM links,) social media followers/following numbers, and other channels like email marketing campaigns–it will give more insight into what content works best, so there’s less trial-and-error involved when launching future productions.
How to get your leadership team excited about explainer videos?
You know the benefits of using explainer videos to attract online customers, but convincing your leadership team can be a whole other challenge. We’ll help you pitch them with these three points…
1. Higher Conversion Rates mean more customers, and that means more revenue for your organization. In fact, a recent study found that when companies use explainer videos to help convert viewers into leads, those viewers convert at a rate 34% higher than non-viewers.
2. Explainer videos keep people on your website longer. You want them to stay with you as long as possible so they can see the product in action (that’s what makes them so valuable). Studies show that people who watch an explainer video on your site are 2x more likely to complete the conversion process compared to someone who doesn’t watch it. Longer time on the site means less churn for any service or product you offer!

Explainer video: a versatile resource for your company.
An explainer video is a powerful way to engage with your audience, yet some leaders might be hesitant. To help ease their worries and get them engaged in this idea, it’s important that you understand what an explainer video is not: It won’t replace any of the other marketing efforts currently being used by your company but will instead support those efforts as another tool for success!
Explainers videos are used primarily at the top of customer funnels to keep them engaged as they explore other resources for more information about what they have seen. An advantage to having this type of content is its versatility: it can also be utilized elsewhere within your company’s marketing strategy like outbound sales presentations; visual materials when presenting with potential buyers face-to-face etc.
