Videos on landing pages are a must-try marketing tool to quickly communicate lots of information and boost sales. They’re a powerful method of showcasing products or services that compel website visitors to make a purchase. 38% of video marketers state it’s the number one tool for driving landing page conversions.
Different landing page video formats support different campaigns for small businesses, retailers, and corporate brands. You can build them for product launches, sale events, and to build social proof of the problems your products solve.
Strategically designed video landing pages can enhance your brand awareness and drive conversion rates. In this blog, we’ll explore some inspiring landing page video examples and provide you with practical tips on how to plan and edit your own marketing videos, product demo videos, and explainer videos using Clipchamp.
What is a landing page video?
A landing page video is a design element of a video landing page. Let’s break down the difference between a landing page and a landing page video.
Landing page
A landing page is a marketing webpage created to attract and convert potential customers. They are designed to capture information and data from contacts in exchange for valuable content like store discount codes for Boxing Day sales or B2B (business-to-business) reports like whitepapers and e-books.
Video landing page
A video landing page is a page on a website where the video content has been designed as the main sales tool for engaging leads and driving sales conversions for a business or product. Landing page videos can be designed as auto-playing background videos, hero visuals, or supporting content for copy and static imagery.
4 popular video formats for landing pages
Product demo video
Showcase your product in action with informative demos or explainer videos. Demonstrate to potential customers how a product works and highlight all the key features or benefits using videos.
Product demo videos allow you to show with clear visuals what problem your product solves. Real-life examples increase the chance of first-time visitors to your website making a purchase.
Example: this highly stylized product demo landing page of the Microsoft Surface Pro uses creative editing and animations to shine a spotlight on key features. It also demonstrates what pain-points the laptop addresses for professional and personal consumers.
Video pitch from the CEO
Humanize your brand and differentiate from competitors by nominating your CEO to deliver your value proposition. The founder narrated video sales letter is a popular format of landing page video for startups because of its personal touch.
Exhibiting your CEO captures your audience’s attention by immediately establishing authority. If they communicate passionately and earnestly, it makes potential buyers who have landed on your page want to know more about your company and products because they can associate it with a human message.
Example: this hybrid landing page video approach from Shark Tank winners ‘The Comfy Bros’ pitches their popular wearable blankets while also telling the rags to riches story of the product and business. It’s a combination of personality and advertising, positioning the product and the founders as charming and relatable.
Customer testimonial video
Who is better to promote your product than a real-life customer with a positive testimonial video? Customers sharing their positive experience with your company in their own words establishes trust and credibility with visitors to your website. This is especially useful to consumers who are aware of your product but just need a little bit more help converting to a purchase.
Viewers can empathize with fellow consumers who share the same problems. Customer testimonial videos feel authentic and advertise your product in relatable language. Many businesses lean into this trend and work with UGC (user-generated content) creators on TikTok and Instagram who are trusted influencers to advertise products through sponsored social media testimonial videos.
Example: this customer testimonial from website builder Hostinger is a perfect example of portraying a real-life client’s problem and solution on a landing page. The video cleverly portrays an independent businessman at work and building a website all using animations and graphics that depict Hostinger’s product.
Marketing promo video
There’s a reason 25% of Super Bowl viewers tune-in exclusively to watch the ads. A short and engaging marketing promo video highlights a product and service in an entertaining manner. If people associate your business or product with an enjoyable video, they are likely to become interested in your product or service. You can also increase conversions on a landing page with a limited time offer like a call to action for a 40% off Black Friday sale or Christmas sale.
A strategic marketing promo video can creatively showcase your value proposition in a simple and memorable way. This makes general marketing promo videos of a product or service a strong way of getting newsletter registrations or journeying further down your sales funnel.
Example: this television-quality marketing promo video by pet supply retailer Chewy uses humor and emotion to present a relatable customer scenario. The happy background music enhances the joyful mood while the voiceover clearly describes the product and user experience.

Animated text and graphics like motion titles and stickers can be used to emphasize key details of your landing page video, showcase steps, and write a call to action (CTA).
To add text, click on the text tab on the toolbar and scroll through the various title and caption options. Select a title that best suits the style of your landing page video then drag and drop it onto the timeline. Change the font, size, color, position, and other settings by clicking on the text tab on the property panel.
To add stickers like graphics or CTA buttons, click on the content library tab on the toolbar. Click on the visuals drop down menu then select stickers.

Click on the brand kit tab on the toolbar to upload your business logo, color, and font. Then drag and drop your logo onto the timeline and apply your color and font to your text assets.
Step 4. Add a voiceover and music
If you’re making a product demo, create lifelike AI voiceovers to provide the narration. Write your text using Copilot then copy and paste your script into your video using text to speech.
Select the record & create tab on the property panel. Click on the text to speech option to automatically open the text to speech tab on the property panel. Choose your voice, pitch, and pace then type or copy and paste your voiceover script into the text box.

Make sure you turn down the volume of your music so your AI voiceover can clearly be heard.
