Abstract
Online retail video brings products to life in a way that static images and
text can' t, often providing the final push a consumer needs to make a
purchase. No wonder the number of online shoppers who watch retail videos grew
40% in a year.
The Video Usage in E-Commerce report analyzes the power of product
videos to lower the number of abandoned shopping carts, reduce return rates
and generate higher sales.
A key obstacle to greater video adoption among online retailers is the high
cost of in-house video production. But the data shows increased sales may
outweigh increased costs.
Some online retailers even allow customers to upload product videos to their
sites, and the rewards can be great. By engaging these customers, retailers
gain valuable feedback on current product features and future development
plans.
