Why should you use video in Amazon listings?

Having product videos on your Amazon listing is one of the best ways to optimize that listing. Videos provide opportunities to build relationships with potential customers.

A good video highlights the functions and advantages of the product and shows its use. Descriptive videos provide insight into the function or working method of a product better than any text description. The comparison video can fully show the functional advantages and differences of the product relative to competitors.

For consumers, video allows them to quickly receive a large amount of information and arouse their emotional resonance. In fact, this is the information consumers want, so they are more likely to stay on your listing and watch whether the video provides effective information and promotes their buying behavior.
