Video brings your product to life

As an e-commerce business, you understand the importance of engaging your audience and showcasing your products in the best possible way. No other medium conveys emotion and information as well as video. The better your audience understands your story, your product and your services, the more engaged they are, and more likely to take action.

Engagement

When a human brain views a video, it retains 95% of a message as against 10% retention while reading. According to a study by Forrester, a video is worth 1.8 million words.

Branding

For brands, it is key to communicate with your audience via video rather than textual or static content. Studies report that 2/3 of people are visual learners. 84% of consumers make their final decision to buy a product or a service as a direct result of watching a video.

Conversion

The probability of a viewer hitting a video button is 27 times higher than a static image. Over 80% of viewers are more probable to take any action in the favor of a brand after viewing a video.

The three-step video strategy for
e-commerce

In a professional video strategy, use a mix of social video platforms and a professional online video platform, such as Jet-Stream.

  1. Post fun short stories on social video platforms to increase your brand awareness and reach.
  2. Then entice people to your own site, where you can further engage them with your story and your products.
  3. Here you inform them, and immediately offer them the opportunity to contact you or make a purchase.

Conversion

How do you entice people during or after a video to take action? Jet-Stream’s built-in HTML5 player allows you to dynamically place interactive web elements on top of each video. This can be information that you sync with the video. It can be a call-to-action button (“buy now,” “special offer,” or “contact us”). You can also sync your website with the video so that you show products and offers, which are currently shown in the video. Anything to entice the viewer to take action.

Increased conversion for e-commerce thanks to the usage of call-to-action buttons.

Data protection.

Your media is protected in the secure Jet-Stream Cloud, hosted in the EU. You can upload and upstream your media using encrypted connections. Jet-Stream Cloud is DRM transparent. You can use AES encryption, and Digital Rights Management from FairPlay, PlayReady and Widevine. Next to that you can run your own license servers and use your own DRM-enabled video players.

Mix security technologies.

You want to prevent social video platforms from learning more about viewing and buying behaviour than you do and offering your competitors advantages based on your viewing habits. At Jet-Stream, your viewing behaviour data is yours and is never shared with third parties. We are an EU company, with EU infrastructure and are fully GDPR compliant, making your video service compliant with strict legislation.

Lead protection.

You invest a lot of time and money in generating leads to your website. You then don’t want a social platform video to then draw your visitors away to their platform, where your competitors are waiting for them. Jet-Stream actively protects you: viewers only watch with you, and nowhere else.

Recommendation engine

At the end of each video, keywords can be used to suggest other videos from you, so that the viewer does not drop out and leave, but starts watching more videos, from you, on your site, increasing their engagement with your brand and your products.
