Make sure your video has the right information and content along with the ability to rivet by adding entertaining elements. The customer, through this video, needs to be educated about your brand and product. Ensure that your logo is prominently displayed to increase brand recall with customers.

• The product should be the focal point

  Your video should be to the point and not divert from the product being displayed. The video will have a better reach if the product specifications are displayed and shown in detail. A voice-over or music that does not detract from the product can aid the video. The use of different clips while shooting product video can engage customers.

Can all sellers make product videos?

The answer is no. Regular Marketplace Sellers do not have the option of uploading their videos to Amazon. Only those sellers who belong to Amazon’s Vendor Central are allowed to upload a video. The fact is that only a direct invitation from Amazon can make you a part of Vendor Central based on high product volumes.

Elevation from Seller Central to Vendor Central

First, let us understand that Seller Central essentially means that the seller is a third-party vendor which quite simply means that Amazon is your online market to sell your goods. It is not enough to just sell your products; you need to ship them too. Here again, you have the option to either ship your product or have Amazon handle it through their Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service available on Amazon Prime, which many Amazon customers prefer to save time and money.

On the other hand Vendor Central means you are essentially the distributor to Amazon with the benefit of selling more products and of course upload product videos.

Types of Product Videos for Amazon

Basically, two kinds of videos are recommended to be created on Amazon- product videos and lifestyle. The choice is on the seller about the type of product video that needs to be made after understanding the customer needs and customization.

• Lifestyle videos

  These product videos can resort to a lot of color, glamour and larger than life to garner customer pull. Lifestyle products essentially help enhance an individual’s self-image as well as aid physical transformations through perceived product benefits. A slickly made product video only gives wings to the imaginations of the online shopper.

• Product video

  Product videos need to stick more to technical correctness than gloss. Sellers should remember that customers are looking at specifications and to-the-point videos where product dimensions, specifications, and color combinations are succinctly displayed in the video.
