But not all video is created equal. A personalized, targeted approach may bring about better results. The vast majority of consumers are more willing to shop with brands that provide customized offers and personally relevant recommendations.
Personalized interactive video marketing is proven to increase conversions, sales, and customer engagement. But even as video marketing grows in popularity, it doesn’t mean personalized videos will work in the way same for every company. The point is to increase customer engagement by building relationships and creating excitement.
Here are seven different ways you can use personalized videos to increase engagement.
1. Personalized Offers

Videos that offer personalized recommendations tailored for the specific recipient, deals, or discounts are a great way to engage repeat customers. 91% of consumers say they’re more likely to shop with companies who provide special offers or recommendations particular to their own interests. Specific and effective, personalized offers net a high rate of consumer response.
2. Explanations
Video is the number one avenue people use when searching for information. 66% of internet users look for video explanations first, before trying other methods. Help your customers learn about your product or navigate your service with a brief explainer video. Tailored to your brand, these videos are a great way to demonstrate your unique appeal.
3. Case Studies
Show your success with a case study. Give potential clients a chance to see your company’s skills in action. Not only will it drive interest in your solutions, but it’s also a solid way to build credibility. Third-party validation showcases your achievements and provides customers with reassurance that you’re worthy of trust.
4. Thank Yous
Your customers chose you: appreciate them. Make them feel valued by recognizing that appreciation in video form. It could be as simple as a short video clip after a purchase. When individualized – with the customer’s name, for instance, or suggested use for the purchase – a simple thank you becomes extra-special. Appreciated customers are satisfied customers who go on to become great brand ambassadors.
