In the online shopping era of today, getting noticed and gaining trust is crucial. Consumers browse through dozens of products for seconds at a time, so it’s paramount to be noticed. Solutions like Pippit make it easy with their AI video generator, enabling e-commerce brands to transform product listings into interactive, avatar-driven videos. Organizations no longer need to rely on live subjects to create engaging demos that define features, showcase benefits, and bolster credibility financially minimally.
Let your products speak
Producing videos with actors, venues, and retakes is very expensive and time-consuming. AI avatar-based demos take the logistics of scheduling, payments, location, and amenities and replace them with a virtual host. This dynamic avatar narrates product information while moving and walking customers through several key components.
These avatars are able to establish connections that static pictures or written words cannot. Customers appreciate that there is a “personality” behind the demonstration, even if that person is fully virtual.
Why AI avatars work for e-commerce
Using a virtual host in a video demo should be easy, practical. Here are some reasons:
- Consistency: One avatar can carry the personality and tone of the brand across all products.
- Efficiency: No retakes, no lighting, no management of actors. Videos can be quickly produced and easily scaled.
- Customizability: Avatars are fun, professional, or sophisticated, fitting any brand voice.
- Higher engagement: Consumers are more inclined to view a short avatar-driven demo than read lengthy descriptions.
Enlivening static images
While avatars tell the story, visuals are important. Several brands use image to video technology, similar to Pippit’s, to enhance their demos. Static product photos, illustrations, or infographics can be brought to life through animation, motion, transitions, and context. A technology retailer may be able to animate illustrations to highlight the assembly or operation, or a clothing retailer can animate a static photo, pictures, or drawings of clothing in motion to highlight fit and feel. These animation and motion examples allow advanced information to be conveyed in a simple, effective manner. The marriage of avatars, animated images or illustrations, and context creates a movie-style approach to typical product display page, or a “mini-movie” if you will, which draws the reader in and demonstrates immeasurable value in a succinct manner.
Building trust online
Without touching and feeling, consumers resist buying. Avatars overcome this by presenting viewers through products clearly and authoritatively. When avatars narrate, gesture, and point out attributes, they are mimicking the presence of an informed salesperson. Buyers learn more about the product, are confident, and are likely to make a purchase. Animation, narration, and emotive avatars combined fill the gap between offline and online experiences.
Translate scripts into product hosts: building avatar videos with Pippit
Simply follow these three steps to transform product images and descriptions into compelling videos:
Step 1: Select your AI avatar
Access the “Video generator” tab by logging into Pippit. Select “Avatars” to explore a large repository of digital hosts. You can refine the creative brief by selecting the desired voice, gender, age, scene, or style that fits your brand’s personality. You may also add avatars to your project via links to your products, and uploaded media. Under “Settings,” you can establish voice, script, and design. Or save that step for later when it’s time to generate your video.
Step 2: Add narration
Click on “Edit script” to set the avatar’s narration to your product description, demo text, etc. Adjust the language, tone, and caption format as needed. Click on “Edit more” to see more options in the “Audio” menu if you want the narrator to have different voice styles. Cut up the video to adjust the gestures, framing, and facial expressions so that it feels natural and interactive.
Step 3: Save and share
Once your video is finalized or in preview mode, you will see an “Export” option. You can choose the resolution (1080p, 4K, etc.), the file format (MP4, etc.), and the aspect ratio (ex. 9:16 for vertical content). Now you will be ready to download your video, or share it directly to the social media site, i.e. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or even grab a link and embed it to your website. This step will provide your product with the greatest exposure to your audiences in the way that is most visually appealing to them
What makes the AI avatar necessary
At the center of demos is Pippit’s AI avatar. In contrast with standard stock models, these avatars speak, gesture, and show emotions. They consistently show up in campaigns, tweaking their tone, so that they match the style of the brand.
There are many advantages to e-commerce brands:
- Relatability: Avatars offer essentially the same experience as engaging with an actual person, through gestures, expressions, and their voice.
- Versatility: One avatar can represent multiple lines of products or campaigns, and even with use, it remains an avatar that is recognizable as the brand.
- Professional quality: Videos look polished, consistent and reliable, while avoiding the challenge of securing live talent.
The future of online shopping
As AI avatars improve, they will be able to interact in real-time, respond to questions, and showcase products in several languages. This opens up opportunities for small brands to fight against large retailers using interactive and high-quality content without having huge budgets. The adoption of avatars makes e-commerce more human-like, personalized, even when in a virtual-only setting. Brands are able to scale visually interesting content while still having a recognizable and consistent presence.
