When was the last time, you were online and had only a single tab/window opened in your browser?

Not very recently, right?

Like you, your website visitors tend to switch between multiple tabs when working/surfing online. Their attention span is as short as 8 seconds and they have little or no interest in reading & processing elongated text on your content-rich website. In fact when visiting for first time, your visitors prefer scanning through your site than reading it page by page. And if they don’t understand your business through this quick scanning process, they usually cross your website link and switch to another tab for doing a ‘more important’ task at hand!

This means, that even if your site has frequent visitors, they may not be spending enough time on to your site, to completely understand your offering and may just be simply turning away.

So, what should you do to prevent your visitors from turning away from your website like this? Simple. Make them do something on your website so that they stay longer than just a few seconds- give them an animated explainer video to watch.

Read on to find out how having an explainer video on your landing page benefits your business.
