Videos are more engaging than static images or text. They allow you to showcase your product in action, highlight its features, and tell a compelling story—all in just 15 seconds.

Seeing a product in action builds trust with shoppers. Videos help them visualize how your product fits into their lives, making them more likely to hit “Add to Cart.”

According to Amazon, Sponsored Brand ads with videos have higher conversion rates compared to static ads. That means more sales for you!

Pro Tips for Creating Scroll-Stopping Video Ads
1. Keep It Short and Sweet
Amazon recommends keeping your videos 15 seconds or shorter.
Focus on one key message or benefit to avoid overwhelming viewers.
2. Hook Viewers in the First 3 Seconds
Start with a bold visual or statement to grab attention immediately.
For example, showcase your product solving a common problem right at the beginning.
3. Highlight Benefits, Not Just Features
Show how your product improves the shopper’s life.
For instance, instead of saying “waterproof,” show your product being used in the rain.
4. Use High-Quality Visuals
Blurry or low-resolution images can hurt your brand’s credibility.
Use crisp, clear images that showcase your product in the best light.
5. Include a Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)
End your video with a strong CTA, such as “Shop Now” or “Learn More.”
Make it easy for viewers to take the next step.
