They may also try to negotiate a price or take advantage of a promotional offer you provide.

5. Testimonial Videos

Testimonial videos help you gain audience trust through other customers' direct experiences with your products. This can give them more insight into your product which can help them solve similar problems.

You can give your potential audience an example of what others are saying about your brand. Once your audiences put trust in your product, they will be more likely to make a purchase and share it with their relatives.

6. FAQ Videos

At this stage, when customers are already interested in your product, they tend to be curious to find out more about all the details related to your product. For example, information about its features, use maintenance, or security.

So the right strategy to answer all customer curiosity is to accommodate all customer questions and turn it into an FAQ video.

You can introduce the topic through specific but relevant questions, then bring together experts from your company or even outsiders to clarify every aspect related to your product.
