The problem

Your product pages are not converting because shoppers cannot see the experience

Average time on your product page is 18 seconds. Static images and bullet points are not enough to communicate what makes your product worth the premium over Amazon alternatives.

Your add-to-cart rate is stuck below 5% because shoppers cannot visualise how the product looks, feels, or works in their actual life. They default to the cheapest option.

Your competitor has a lifestyle video on their product page. Their product looks premium and desirable. Yours looks like a commodity listing. Who gets the purchase?

The solution

A 60-second video that makes your product irresistible

We identify the single moment where a shopper decides 'this is the one' — the quality close-up, the lifestyle context, the before-and-after — and build the entire video around that moment.

High-quality product visuals combined with lifestyle context. Professional voiceover or text overlay. The result makes your product look like it belongs in a premium brand campaign.

Delivered in 10 business days: discovery, script, storyboard, production, voiceover, final render. Includes a 15-second cut for retargeting ads.

The e-commerce & dtc brands context

Built for how e-commerce companies actually buy

Head of Growth, E-commerce Director, or DTC founder with $2M-$50M annual revenue. Performance-obsessed, data-driven, and under constant pressure to improve ROAS. Tests 10-20 ad creatives per week. Values speed, creative volume, and clear attribution to revenue.

What e-commerce & dtc brands companies are up against

  • Heavy ad spend with diminishing returns as Meta and Google CPMs rise 15-25% year over year, crushing acquisition economics
  • Creative fatigue sets in within 2-3 weeks on paid social, forcing constant production cycles that most teams cannot sustain
  • Scaling video production from 5 to 50 assets per month is operationally impossible without a dedicated content partner
  • UGC management is chaotic — sourcing, briefing, reviewing, and editing creator content drains the marketing team entirely

Where video moves the needle

  • Video ad creatives for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
  • YouTube brand channel for organic product discovery
  • Product explainer and unboxing videos
  • UGC-style video ads at scale
  • Lifestyle and brand story content

Why this matters

Why e-commerce companies need explainer videos

E-commerce product pages compete for attention against dozens of alternatives that shoppers have open in other tabs. Static images cannot convey texture, movement, scale, or the emotional experience of owning your product. Explainer videos bridge that gap instantly.

In 60 seconds, a shopper can see the product in context, understand what makes it different, and feel confident enough to add it to their cart. This is why e-commerce pages with video consistently see 20-30% conversion lifts. The video does the work your product description tries to do in 500 words — but faster, more convincingly, and with emotional impact.

For DTC brands spending $30-80 per visitor through paid ads, even a 10% conversion improvement pays for the video within days.

Is this right for your e-commerce & dtc brands company?

We want to be upfront about who we work best with.

Right for you if:

  • Your product has qualities — texture, design, experience — that static images cannot convey
  • You are driving paid traffic to product pages but conversion rates are below 5%
  • You need a video for a product launch or seasonal campaign
  • You want something that elevates your brand above commodity Amazon listings

Probably not the right fit if:

  • Your product is a basic commodity with no differentiation worth showcasing on video
  • You want user-generated content rather than polished brand production
  • You have no budget for video and want to test with smartphone footage first
  • You need the video delivered in under 5 days — our minimum is 10 business days
