Golden Rule #1: Create Dazzling Content
With the holidays just around the corner it’s increasingly hard to capture the customer’s attention as you cross another day off the advent calendar. Stores are more crowded, decorations light up the streets, and holiday movies inundate your DVR. With the excitement growing every day it’s hard to stand out from the crowd.
One easy way to capture your shopper’s attention is by creating unboxing videos on YouTube.
These videos not only document the experience of opening a product, but they often dramatize it and, in turn, take on a quirky, playful spirit, showcasing products in all of their shiny new glory.
According to Google Consumer Surveys, unboxing videos have seen a 57% growth from last year on YouTube and one in five consumers report they’ve actually watched an unboxing video. It seems as though the magic of unboxing videos might be connected to the feeling viewers get while watching them.
Regardless of what your product is, a fun video unveiling your product could be just what your brand needs. Make sure your video is practical, giving your customer a look into what they can expect from your product from the moment they open the box, to the moment they hold it in their hands.
So, think outside the “box” and generate some excitement around your products to connect emotionally with your customers during this holiday season!
