Online shoppers scroll fast, compare quickly, and bounce easily. If you can’t grab attention and explain why your product matters—within seconds—you lose the sale.
That’s where animated explainer videos come in. For eCommerce stores, they’re one of the most effective tools to showcase product benefits, build trust, and drive conversions.
In fact, 84% of people say they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a video.

Why Animated Videos Work for eCommerce
Product images and descriptions are essential—but they’re not enough. An animated explainer video adds a dynamic layer of storytelling that:
- Demonstrates product use in real time
- Breaks down features and benefits visually
- Addresses buyer pain points and objections
- Increases time on page and engagement
At Spire Video, we help eCommerce brands turn product pages into high-performing conversion machines using strategic, on-brand video content.
When to Use an Explainer Video in eCommerce
Animated videos are highly versatile and can be used throughout your entire buyer journey:
- Product pages – Boost engagement and reduce bounce rate
- Landing pages – Drive clicks during ad campaigns or launches
- Email marketing – Increase open and click-through rates
- Social media – Create scroll-stopping content for paid and organic use
- Onboarding – Help new customers understand how to use your product

That’s why we offer fully custom animated explainer videos, built to reflect:
- Your unique product benefits
