Motion graphics are animation videos that combine moving images, text, music, and sometimes voiceover to create a short story shared through video. They are a cross between animation and graphic design.
Here are some of the main benefits that motion graphics can bring to your marketing efforts:
Help Raise Brand Awareness
Viewers can easily understand a message or story shared through a video without having to put effort into it and viewers are more likely to stop scrolling to watch short videos than images or copy alone.
Plus, as an added bonus, people retain 95% of a message they watch as opposed to only 10% when reading.
Drive Traffic to Your Website
A website with motion is 53 times more likely to be shown on the first page of Google’s search results. The higher your site ranks in search results, the traffic you’ll see on your website.
Increases Engagement
Simply put, motion graphics are engaging.
Twitter said that tweets with a GIF see 55% more engagement than those without.
And 85% of consumers are eager to watch more videos.
Highly Shareable
Brightcove said that social videos generate 1200% more shares than text and images combined.
Affordable
In the past, getting motion graphics created for your business would cost thousands of dollars. Today, these types of graphics are easier to create and therefore have become more affordable to the entrepreneur, marketer, or business owner looking to use motion graphics in their marketing.
There is no question that social media users engage with video more than any other type of content shared.
