Best practices for creating video bots
Here are some best practices and ideas to try out when creating video bots:
Keep your video short and sweet, so you can engage visitors quickly.
Putting a face to your business will increase visitor engagement. You should record yourself or a teammate giving your visitors a personal welcome.
You can also engage visitors with animated videos. For example, if you’re about to launch a new product, you could show visitors a short teaser video to entice visitors to learn more.
