So without wasting further time, let’s dive in.
5 Things To Consider While Selecting An Explainer Video Company
But before we dive into the list of top explainer video companies, I’m going to tell you 5 crucial factors that you have to consider while choosing an explainer video company.
If you already have some experience with explainer videos or if you have already worked with some explainer video companies before then it’s not that important for you and you can skip this part.
But if you’re a complete newbie into this field then spending a minute on reading this section would be really helpful for you while you’ll choose the right company for your explainer video.
Let’s quickly have a look into these 5 crucial factors.
Quality of Portfolio
Whether you’re a writer, explainer video creator, or marketer, portfolio matters a lot.
Some people know the importance of a portfolio and that’s why they always check the portfolio of that particular company or person before giving them work.
Still, some people doesn’t really spend their time checking the portfolio.
But that’s a big mistake.
Always try to check the portfolio of that particular company before even contacting them.
Most of the companies would definitely have a portfolio page on their website. Just go to their portfolio page and spend some time reviewing their work portfolio.
In case, if some company doesn’t have a portfolio page on their website, don’t even try to contact them.
Because not only that company is not professional but they are not serious about their business as well.
Pricing
Now the second most crucial thing to consider is – Pricing.
As a company or individual, you might have a certain budget for creating an explainer video.
Right?
So you have to find a company that suits your budget.
The truth is:
Not all companies charge the same rate.
For example.
Some explainer video companies charge even $10,000 for a one minute video while some companies charge only $700 – $1000 for the same.
I’m sure the quality of work wouldn’t be the same but that’s being said, you won’t get bad quality of work either.
Let’s take an example of our company (Pixelgenio).
At PixelGenio, our main focus customers are small businesses and mid-size corporations. That’s why we always try to provide top-notch quality of work at a much affordable price.
In short:
There are some companies available on the market that provides top quality work at a much affordable rate but the problem is you have to spend some of your time to hunt those companies.
Or if you don’t want to spend your time hunting for other companies, we’re here for you.
Testimonials
Testimonials instantly increase the credibility of any business.
And it also helps the customer to understand more about that business from their previous customers.
On top of that, if any company has good testimonials from their previous clients that means they are really good at their craft and you can trust them blindly.
I know that testimonials alone cannot decide if that company is good or bad.
But at least you’ll stay on the safe side.
Types of Explainer Video
You want an explainer video.
That’s great.
But do you know what kind of explainer video you want?
If you already know it, then you don’t have to rip your head off thinking about it.
Though if you don’t have any idea about the type of explainer video you want then you have to stop for a second and figure out what kind of explainer video you want before selecting any explainer video company.
Some of the popular types of explainer videos are:
- 2D animation.
- 3D animation.
- Motion graphics.
- Whiteboard.
- 2.5D animation.
- Infographics.
- Isometric.
- Live-action.
- And more…
If you find it difficult to understand which type of explainer video will work for your business then you can contact us and we will definitely help you to figure out which type of video will be best for your business.
Experience
Experience matters a lot in almost every field.
Let me ask you a simple question…
Would you rather go to a surgeon who has done 300 surgeries or someone who has just done 10 surgeries?
You’ll obviously go with the experienced surgeon right?
Similarly, whenever you’ll choose any explainer video production company, you have to make sure that you’re choosing an experienced one.
For example, Pixelgenio is creating explainer videos for almost 12 years now.
So we have an extra edge of experience over other new companies.
Likewise, you also have to choose a company that has a lot of experience in the explainer video space.
So these are the 5 most important things you have to look for before handing over your project to any explainer video company.
