Introduction

Want to improve the customer experience for your e-commerce brand? Learn how you can leverage the power of immersive experiences with Pebble and bring customers on an unforgettable interactive journey that drives conversions and engagement.

Video engagement is at an all time high and interactive video is one of the new and innovative way brands can stand out to deliver an enhanced customer experience. In this article, we'll dive into the key components of a successful E-commerce interactive video marketing strategy and how to implement them to drive growth and revenue.

What are interactive videos?

Examples of Interactive Video

Interactive video is a dynamic and engaging form of content that allows viewers to actively participate and shape their viewing experience. It goes beyond the traditional linear format of watching videos and adds layers of interactivity. Viewers can make choices, explore different paths, and directly engage with the content to get the information they need quickly.

With Pebble, you can easily add branching paths and interactive elements to turn your videos into an immersive experience that you can use across all your channels onsite and offsite.

Benefits for E-commerce brands

There are many benefits to using interactive video for E-commerce brands. Here are a few of the most important:

  • Increased engagement: Interactive video is much more engaging than traditional video, as it allows viewers to actively participate in the content. This can lead to longer viewing times and a deeper understanding of products and offerings.


  • A 1:1 digital sales experience that you can use on your website, send as a link, or deploy in-store via QR code: Having a sales person available anytime answering all customer queries like a face-to-face conversion can increase brand affinity, build trust, and have a direct impact on your sales and conversions.


  • Improved brand awareness: Interactive video is a great way to showcase your brand's unique story and features due to the fact that it's bite sized and more easily digestible than a traditional video. This can help to improve brand awareness and attract new customers.


  • Supporting the post purchase experience: Interactive video can also be used to support the post-purchase experience by providing customers with the information they need like setup instructions, usage tips, news on other promotions, and more.


  • Better understanding of customers: Interactive video can be used to collect valuable data about your customers via the choices they make or the options they choose. This data can be used to improve your marketing campaigns and provide a better customer journey.

If you are looking for a way to stand out from the competition and improve your brand's bottom line, interactive video is a great option. With its ability to engage viewers, improve brand awareness, and drive conversions, it is a powerful tool that can help you to achieve your marketing goals.
