Principles
-
Is a highly technical video that explains maintenance or advanced functionality of a product
-
Is provided before the point of purchase
-
Is functional and technical
-
Can be longer (easily 2-4 minutes)
-
Emphasis should be given on proper explanation, length is not a factor
-
Can be product-neutral (or at least colour-agnostic) if the demonstrated functionality is applicable to multiple products
-
Follows a common structure to ensure better legibility for the consumer. This increases brand recognition and attribution.
-
