Interactive video is a form of digital video that can navigate your users to where you want them to be. It’s a tool that can elevate your customers' digital experience and be used as a method of interaction on your website.
Interactive shoppable video is an innovative and increasingly popular technology that combines the power of video content with the convenience of e-commerce. Essentially, interactive shoppable video enables viewers to interact with the video content, clicking on products and learning about their specifications before being given the opportunity to add-to-cart or be redirected to the product page directly within the video player.
Check out our recent case study with Swarovski and how they elevated their customers' experience using interactive shoppable video.
Interactive video has revolutionised the way people consume and engage with online content. Unlike traditional video, interactive video allows users to actively participate in the viewing experience, making it a powerful tool for education, marketing and entertainment. Simple to shoppable video, as we mention above but without the redirect to the product page or a direct add to cart functionality.
Interactive video is a wonderful way to enhance the learning experience and allows learners to actively participate in the process. It always increases your engagement as viewers are able to interact with elements of the video and therefore control their viewing experience.
Take our case study with Valentino as a prime example. During their Haute Couture Fall / Winter collection, evoking on the historical beauty of the luxury fashion house on Rome’s Spanish Steps, the collection was made interactive but not purchasable. This example invited the viewers to explore the immersive content and learn more about the designers.
With 86% of users acting anonymously when they land on your site, interactive experiences can provide vital behavioural data which can help brands using the analytics from the video to retarget their audience. This then creates a second wave of viewers landing on your website as a results of interactive and shoppable video.
Live Shopping is an emerging trend that involves using video streaming to showcase products to customers in real-time. It Is an interactive and engaging way for retailers and brands to showcase their products, engage with customers and make sales.

Live Shopping has proven to be a cost-effective way for brands to reach their customers against investing in expensive marketing campaigns.

In conclusion, Smartzer’s technology might be the answer when it comes to getting to know the 86% of customers landing on your website anonymously.
