The Conversion Data (Real Numbers)
Why Video Converts Better Than Images
1. Video Shows, Images Tell
A photo shows what a dress looks like. Video shows how it moves, fits, and looks from every angle.
2. Video Builds Trust Instantly
Especially user-generated video. When shoppers see real people using your products, objections disappear.
3. Video Captures Emotion
Products in motion create emotional connection. Emotion drives purchases.
4. Shoppable = Zero Friction
See it → Want it → Buy it. No extra clicks.
