What’s Inside:
What Is a Personalized Video?
Videos are personalized in the same way an email or document is personalized. The individual’s data is inserted into a predefined workflow or template. This way, the video can address the recipient by name, provide information that is only relevant to that person, and take them on a customized journey.
Interactive capabilities let the viewer make selections to shape the flow of engagement — responding to questions, providing information (they can click a button or input data), and approving outcomes. The result is a highly personalized offer tailored to the viewer’s specific needs and choices. This is the digital, on-demand experience that consumers desire – and it also delivers excellent benefits to your operations and your bottom line.
Benefits of Personalized Video
Organizations that use interactive, personalized videos to enhance their customer experience can count on the following benefits:
Augment sales and service teams to reduce cost-per-sale/service, while still providing a great CX.
Get a measurable, improved return on investment (ROI) based on increased customer engagement, conversion, purchase, enrollment, etc.
Guide the customer on how to use other digital services, or connect with the appropriate customer service rep to resolve an issue before it escalates.
Gather in-depth information on how customers engage with the information in the video and use this information to refine future communications.
67% of customer churn is preventable if the issue is resolved at first touchpoint. Personalized, interactive videos proactively address churn triggers at every touchpoint.
Call center services cost approximately $1/minute. In contrast, personalized, interactive videos cost-effectively scale digital customer service, providing personalized support and interactive elements for self-serve customer care.
Types of Personalized Video
1. Introducing New Products
For many people, watching a video is a low-risk way to gather information, so it’s often easier to get a customer to watch a personalized video than to book an initial face-to-face meeting. Such videos can highlight specific product features and benefits of relevance to that prospect, demonstrating that your organization understands their needs and is committed to finding the right solution for them.
Personalized video is a great way to follow up after a purchase to show your appreciation for the customer. By demonstrating that you value their business and are committed to providing excellent customer service, you build a deeper connection. These videos can also be an effective way to offer additional product recommendations that complement what the customer has already purchased or to suggest relevant product promotions.
Personalized video statements are a powerful way to explain data, point out areas of note, and build trust and loyalty with your customers. These videos provide an opportunity to add clarity to a complex l product while encouraging customers to take the desired actions.
