Buttons, links & product overlays: increase conversion and boost sales
Interactive video turns viewers into buyers. You can easily add calls-to-action yourself, such as buttons, links, products, ads and brochures – resulting in higher click-through rates (5%-12%).
Think of interactions such as opening an external website or app, placing a product in the shopping cart, linking to other videos, downloading documents or opening an interactive video menu.
Branching (dynamic videos): explain a service, increase satisfaction and reduce costs
With video branching, an interactive structure is added to your video so the viewer can determine what content is relevant.
The viewer only watches what they find interesting, resulting in higher completion rates, increased customer satisfaction and a reduction in traditional customer support channels and costs.
Our event tracking feature shows you which videos the viewers find interesting and what they’re clicking on, so you can further improve your video campaign.
Contact forms: ask questions, capture relevant data and increase leads
Fill-out forms are an easy and effective way to share knowledge, generate leads and simultaneously expand your database for email marketing.
You can easily add contact fields to your video player so that viewers can directly leave their data. This allows you to actively encourage downloading a white paper, planning an appointment, subscribing to the newsletter or getting in contact with your sales and support division.
VIXY lets you add your own contact forms with ease.
Quizzing and questions: ideal for e-Learning & gamification
Video Quizzing seamlessly integrates multiple choice questions into a video at any time. A quiz can be used to increase engagement, test knowledge and retention, collect data and more.
Ask the viewer multiple choice questions. You can use this for learning applications or gamification of your video. Keeping scores is also an option.
