Benefits of click-worthy video thumbnails in escalating your sales

Importance of Video Thumbnails

Ever in your life encountered a movie poster that is hard on the eyes or looks like somehow photoshopped by a first-year design student? Be honest, and tell me, would you go and watch that movie even if it were for free!!

No (big No).

Your video thumbnail is just like a movie poster. It’s a gateway (A huge one) to enter your video. In fact, just like a movie poster, it should convey everything that your potential viewer needs to know to entice them to watch.

You may have created a killer video full of thrills, that is binge-worthy and would also benefit your audience, 

Your video message will not get across until and unless someone does not click on it to watch it. And if that someone won’t then the ton of effort that you have put into planning, filming, and editing your video would go into vain.

Sure, your video will automatically generate a thumbnail for you. But….

Would you really go to see a movie if the poster was “just a random” or was “possibly blurry”?

Would you?
