Video isn’t just for landing pages  and paid campaigns anymore.

1. Top of Funnel (TOFU): Awareness Stage

Goal: Educate and attract ideal prospects.
Video Types:

  • Animated explainer videos

Goal: Build trust, show product value.
Video Types:

  • Benefits (not features) explainers

  • Infographic animations

  • How-it-works walkthroughs & demos

An animated video breaking down your 3 main benefits (features) with visuals of your real dashboard and UI.


3. Bottom of Funnel (BOFU): Decision Stage

Goal: Drive action and close the deal.
Video Types:

  • Personalized demo videos

  • Customer success stories

  • “Why choose us” animations

Example:
A short testimonial animation showing how a similar SaaS customer achieved real ROI using your tool.
