Looking for a way to liven up your content? Give it some movement! Motion content is a sub-category under video content, the primary difference being that motion graphics primarily utilize 2D objects into live-action environments.
Rather than use a static image with copy, motion graphics can combine that same text with animation or movement. They are a great medium for telling a deeper story, explaining a process or a product’s features and benefits.
Motion graphics can significantly enhance the overall quality of a video while keeping the viewer’s attention on the screen and smoothly directing the video’s focal point from one scene to another. It can also help grab an audience that now as an attention span for ads of only eight seconds.
Marketers that incorporate captivating videos and dynamic animations into various channels can realize multiple benefits, including:
Enhanced search engine rankings: Incorporating videos can significantly boost your chances of appearing near the top of Google search results, as approximately 55% of page 1 results include at least one video. Furthermore, videos can help reduce bounce rates on your blog by around 10%.
Improved returns on Facebook ad spend: Utilizing video in your Facebook ad campaigns can yield better results. Facebook reports a 3.8x increase in the number of advertisers using video on their platforms, and campaigns combining static images with video achieve a conversion rate 17% higher than campaigns with static images alone. This can lead to 5.5x more conversions at a reduced cost.
