Using Animated GIFS for Demonstration (Compilation)

Key Takeaways

  • In direct-response marketing, creating something pretty or flashy that doesn't contribute to more sales, is considered a waste of time. This is often the case with use of elaborate design or animation.
  • However, in the examples above, the animations are used to demonstrate the product. Sure, some may be able to do it more compelling, but the point is that animated GIFs can be a great conduit for quickly demonstrating your product & getting across what the benefits are, how easy it is to use, how simple it is etc.
  • Because it is now easy to turn a video into an animated GIF, creating a "demonstration GIF" is a very doable idea.
  • A demonstration GIF should ALWAYS be paired with supporting copy that gives the demonstration context & relates to key selling points.
