Assembly videos for Amazon listings and online stores
If you sell products that need assembly online, a short assembly film does two jobs: it shows buyers the build is manageable before they order, and it helps them finish after delivery.
In short
Marketplaces such as Amazon let sellers add videos to product listings, and shoppers use them to judge how hard a product is to put together. After the sale, the same film behind a QR code answers the questions that otherwise arrive as messages, bad reviews or returns.
Returns are expensive: Optoro data reported by CNBC put the cost of processing a return at about 30% of the item's price.
Where the film works for a seller
- The listing's video slot and your own store's product page
- A QR code in the box and on an insert card (free: our free box insert card tool)
- Buyer messages and after-sales emails
- Answers to "is it hard to assemble?" questions
- Vertical cuts for social ads and short-form video
A catalogue, not a one-off
Sellers with many listings roll out by sales and by complaint volume. Packs from 5 films for $795 ($159 a film) down to $135 a film at 50 films. Check each marketplace's current video rules before uploading.
