What is a case study video?

‍

Case study video analyzes a particular real-life scenario that depicts the effectiveness of a product or a service.

It is a great way to showcase a positive impact an organization can have on its clients.

A well-crafted case study video works to present the value your product or service brings from the customer’s perspective.

Why is it important for the business?

‍

1.    A case study is a great marketing tool. A video case study gives you the opportunity to display your capacities in an engaging manner to        potential clients. A study into the behaviour of B2B buyers shows that 52% of B2B buyers find case studies important and do take them        into consideration while making purchase decisions.

‍

2.    Case studies help businesses and brands gain credibility. By displaying value in a real-life scenario through a case study, you get an        opportunity to gain trust in your ability to deliver. Especially, when this is done through a visual media such as video.

‍

3.    Case studies can help you gain recognition. Such an effect could be very productive as research shows that word of mouth or earned        advertising as some call it, gathers positive affiliation. 84% of global respondents across 58 countries state that they find word of mouth        to be the most trustworthy.

‍

4.    Since case studies are a form of social proofing, they make it easier for the audiences to act.

‍

5.    The opportunity to present some of your best work through case studies means an increase in engagements.

‍

6.    Case study videos also boost your conversion rates.
