Benefits of Animated Video

Whether you’re selling a product or service, getting your audience’s attention quickly is key.

Today’s consumers have short attention spans—and even less patience for complex explanations. This makes it challenging when your product/service is difficult to show or explain to prospective customers. Regardless, your business still has a great message to share, and without sharing, it’s hard to build a new customer base.

This is where animated video shines. Animated video allows you to take on high-level concepts or intangible products, ideas, or services, and present them in a simplified, easy-to-understand manner. It’s simply a great way to “show” and not just “tell” how your products or services work.

Why Animation Works for Modern Marketing

Simplifies Complex Ideas

Animation breaks down difficult concepts into easy-to-understand visuals, helping any audience grasp your message—whether they’re beginners or experts. Animation is also great for showing and explaining meaningful results and information. It is one thing to talk about statistics that point to success, but with the power of animation, you can create exciting visual representations to bring those results to life for your audience.

Bypasses Real-World Constraints

Video projects can experience delays or challenges due to elements you cannot control. With animated videos, there's no need to worry about weather delays, scheduling talent, or securing locations. Animation lets you move fast and stay flexible.

Endless Possibilities

Sometimes your product is only at the prototype phase but you need to present to major retail buyers. Animation is not limited by reality. From microscopic views to outer space, animation lets you visualize anything—ideal for prototypes, technical processes, or big-picture ideas. The only real limitation you face is the experience and creativity of your animators. The execution of your story through animation requires thoughtful planning to take your great idea and share it in its simplest form.

Cost-Effective

While animation can reduce costs by skipping live-action shoots, smart pre-production is key. If the necessary pre-planning isn’t taken seriously in the early stages, it could lead to changes occurring mid-project with several rounds of revisions adding more hours and time to your project. Clear goals, a defined scope, and a solid creative team keep your project on time and budget.

Versatile and Engaging

Animation can blend with live video, be featured on your website, used in a pitch deck, or drive social media engagement. It’s one of the most flexible formats for digital storytelling.

Getting Started
Start by identifying your goal: What should your audience learn—and what action should they take after watching? From there, scripting and selecting the right style will shape your message and determine the budget.

If your product or service is tough to show or explain, animation makes it possible—and compelling. The team at Acorn Marketing can take your idea an turn it into engaging animation.
