How Etsy video can help build trust in your products

Online shoppers love watching a product video. Whether you’re selling jewelry, crafts, hand-made pet accessory, or home decor, adding a product video to your Etsy listing will significantly persuade potential customers to go through with a purchase, rather than keep browsing. Video marketing is one of the simple steps to boost sales as potential customers can see a product live in action rather than just reading a product description of features.

Potential customers don’t have to miss out if they can’t be physically present in your store. Etsy shop video is a great way to address common questions, show a product in use, and showcase detailed elements of a product. This will build trust with your online community and expand your customer base with Etsy video.

When it comes to creating video content, the options are endless for your small business. Below are a few of our favorite Etsy video examples to help inspire your listings. Remember, introduce yourself, demo your process, show your product and keep it short and sweet (5 to 15 seconds).

1. Etsy video idea: Explainer video with real customers

One of the best ways to persuade a potential customer is to show your product in use while explaining all its benefits with an explainer video. Shoppers will watch other customers explain the product’s functionality and envision themselves using it. Sharing customer testimonials and positive reviews are a great way to build trust between potential customers and your small business.

2. Etsy video idea: Product demo video

Display your product’s trendy design and quality with a product demo video for Etsy. Jewelry, clothing, shoes, and accessories are usually best to be filmed on models to help potential customers see the product’s natural movement and size to scale. A product video is perfect for styling, displaying your color varieties or different materials.

3. Etsy video idea: 360-degree product video

You can’t capture the features of your product in a 2D picture. Assist your product description box with a 360-degree view Etsy video. Show potential customers your product from all angles, displaying features and intricate details.
