    Explainer videos give a lot of information about the company and their products or services. They give me a feeling of support and, I don’t know, safety maybe. It means this company cares about its clients, which makes more people choose them.

      These videos aren’t made for explaining, I think. The top priority in all this is promotion, getting the name of the company well-known. Some of these videos even make things more confusing or focus specifically on praising the brand.

        Colin, many companies genuinely want to make it easier for their customers to use their products or services. It is a way of promotion, of course, but there are a lot of ways it can benefit both sides!
