15 Fantastic Animated Demo Videos

Marketing today is more complex than ever, and videos are no longer just a small marketing element. They have become an essential aspect of any marketing strategy, and that is not without merit. According to the stats, more than 50% of the people want to see videos about products more than reading long text blocks. Video marketers earn 66% more qualified leads per year than ones who don’t use video content in their marketing strategy.

When it comes to educating your consumers, nothing can work like giving a live demonstration of your product. This is where the power of product demo videos comes in. You can make a product demo video of your product’s live demonstration to show how it will work on the consumers. This approach is quite effective as about 75% of the consumers purchase a product after watching videos about it.

Adding animations to your demo video could be an excellent way to introduce your product. The freedom to get out of the real world and simplify the process using animated environments and characters can amplify your product’s details in a logical yet engaging manner. Also, the visual effects can significantly emphasize your product’s mood and character.

Here is a list of 15 fantastic animated demo videos of some noteworthy brands you can take inspiration from. So let’s head straight into it.
