Question 1

How does the video ROI calculator work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your monthly website visitors, current conversion rate, average order value, and planned video investment. The calculator projects a 20% conversion rate increase (industry average for explainer videos) and shows you additional monthly conversions, additional monthly revenue, ROI percentage, and months to break even.

Question 2

Is a 20% conversion rate increase realistic with explainer videos?

Accepted Answer

Studies show that explainer videos can increase conversion rates by 20% or more. Some businesses report even higher increases of 30-80% depending on industry, placement, and video quality. The 20% figure used in our calculator is a conservative industry benchmark.

Question 3

What is a good ROI for an explainer video?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses see a positive ROI within 1-3 months of deploying their explainer video. A well-made explainer video typically delivers 200-500% ROI in the first year. The exact return depends on your traffic volume, conversion rate, and average order value.

Question 4

How much does an explainer video cost?

Accepted Answer

At Video Explainers a single AI-assisted explainer video (up to 60 seconds) costs $497, delivered in 48 hours. For ongoing video we work on subscription: Launch ($1,499/mo, 4 videos), Growth ($3,499/mo, 10 videos, 48 hours turnaround) and Scale ($7,499/mo, 25 videos). That works out to $300–$375 per video. Every video includes script, storyboard, voiceover and revisions, and is reviewed by a human creative director. For comparison, freelancers typically charge $500–$5,000 per video and traditional agencies $5,000–$50,000+.

Question 5

Where should I place my explainer video for maximum ROI?

Accepted Answer

For maximum ROI, place your explainer video above the fold on your homepage or landing page. Other high-impact placements include product pages, pricing pages, email campaigns, and social media ads. A/B testing different placements can help optimize results.
