Tips on how to personalize videos:
As you know, personalized videos contains your audience's personal information such as name, job, age, geographic location, and each video is supposed to feel like one-on-on conversation.
Lets say you're creating video for thousands, it just isn’t doable to record a video for each and every customer, it’ll take you an eternity to do so.
Once you have the data required to perform the whole personalized videos strategy, you have to keep in mind that:
1. The videos aren’t about you, but the viewers: The The viewers are your main target, making them feel good about themselves and happy. The goal is to help them feel special like you’re having a 1:1 conversation
2. Even if you don’t have that much data, using their first names adds that human touch
3. The The personalized videos can be delivered through various media: Email, SMS, in-app, or as seen on Facebook, through the Web
According to a conversation between Paul Talbot and Yotam Benami, articled in Forbes Paul asked: “What’s involved in the process of deploying data to personalize marketing videos?”
Benami answered: “The process essentially involves creating a master template with complex logic to determine who sees what in their final video. So, if you’re a new customer versus a longtime customer, for example, you’ll see something different. That dynamic field might be text or an image or video-in-video. You might even see alternate scenes or have scenes added or removed.
Then the videos are rendered either in batches in advance or in real-time. Real-time generation means their video is available at the click of a button and always uses the right data, just like it should”.
