Why Type It When You Can Show It?

By Craig Agranoff    September 15th, 2009

skypevideo.pngThere are a lot of ways to communicate your story to the world. But on your website, you have just three options. Text, graphics and video. Why is it that 99% of the communications are in text form, when all the studies show that people aren’t reading text but rather scanning it.

Your website has the capability to be a full fledged HD broadcast center, though most just use it for an online brochure. With that in mind, check out an explanatory video I saw on how Skype works. This is a prime example of how anyone wondering what skype does can learn easily and quickly. I would’ve had to read deep into the Skype website to learn half as much as this 2 minute video taught me. While it looks simple, making a ‘grabby’ explanation like this is an art.

The original story tellers commoncraft.com no longer take new customers, which left the door wide open for the next round of innovative video story-tellers.  SayItVisually!, the company that made this piece, specializes in custom explanatory videos. They have the writers, directors, animators and other talent required to get your proposition across to your wanna-be customers. They even made the video that we use on the VOIS homepage!

What’s your plan to explain your next killer business idea?

    Wonderful job on the video. It reminds me of the moving mannequins in the Epcot ball using some kind of program like Skype.
