“Online Video has become an essential aspect of eCommerce and online marketing,” says Stephen McCluskey, CEO of vzaar and online marketing expert. “Nothing sells better than video - online customers want to see the product in action, they want to know how it works and what it does. Nothing does that better than web video.”

eCommerce video keeps visitors on the site longer, enhances the online shopping experience and increases customer engagement. In addition, video supports SEO, increasing ranking within search engine results.

“Our clients, online marketers of all types and sizes, have told us that their customers love video. They have found that customers who watch the videos first are much more informed and much more ready to buy,” states Steve Emecz, VP of Business Development EMEAat Powa. “In addition to increasing overall sales, there is an accompanying reduction in customer service and sales calls - fewer basic calls asking about how the products work and what they do.”

Internet Retailer Magazine reported that visitors who view product videos are 85% more likely to buy than visitors who do not. Comscore has said “Retail site visitors who view video stay two minutes longer on average and are 64% more likely to purchase than other site visitors.”

“We are very happy with the results of video on our Powa powered websites,” says Mark Stewart, CEO of Stewart Golf (www.stewartgolf.co.uk). “We started using video to show how our lines of motorized golf trolleys operate. The results have been astonishing. Golfers see it in action and then want to buy it!”
