What are Personalized Videos and Why Use Them?
Personalized Videos are precisely tailored clips designed to cater to the specific interests of individual viewers. Instead of a one-size-fits-all video, your viewers get a video that speaks directly to them. This significantly enhances the user experience and video engagement, resulting in a higher response rate from prospective customers.
Such personalization isn’t just a nice-to-have feature. According to a recent study by Accenture, 91% of consumers are more likely to shop with brands that provide relevant offers and recommendations. Tailored videos are an innovative way to offer these personalized experiences to viewers and can bring invaluable results in terms of user engagement and conversions.

Personalized Videos Uses
Here are just a few ways you can use personalized videos in your marketing.
- Personalized Customer Videos: Instead of a generic sales email to your customer list, send them a personalized video that includes their name, city, how long they have been a customer and other pertinent data.
- Personalized Offers: Instead of sending the same offer to your entire list, send them an offer that is actually of interest to them. For example, if you have a travel agency, not all your clients want to go to the same place! Some clients may be interested in a Caribbean vacation, others may be looking for travel deals to Europe, and still others might be looking for a quick getaway to Las Vegas. With personalized videos, instead of bombarding people with travel destinations, they aren’t interested, instead, you are sending them personalized videos with their name and ONLY the destinations they love – along with beautiful, enticing travel videos of the area they had expressed an interest in.
- Custom Proposals to Scale: Let’s say you wanted to send proposals to organizations nation-wide or even globally. You can use DataPoint’s video merge feature to include variables such as the organization’s name, location, field, logo, and even different pricing based on the organization’s size or location and create AND send out 1,000s of videos in minutes.
- Political Campaigns: Political parties and candidates do a lot of polling but don’t really fully utilize the data they have collected beyond giving them an idea as to what constituents want and how many are likely to vote for their candidate. Instead of letting this data go to waste, you can send 1,000s of voters each a personalized video talking about the issues THEY are most interested in. For voters worried about jobs, they will get a video talking about how your candidate will build more jobs in their community. For seniors worried about the price of living, their video will focus on new seniors program initiatives the candidate is spearheading. And of course, the videos will have a strong call to action to increase your voter turnout.
- Personalized Videos from Celebrities: Imagine a Taylor Swift fan (often called Swifties) getting a personalized birthday video from Taylor Swift that includes the fan’s name, birth date, age, and some other information. Or an inspiration graduation message from a celebrity that students look up to.
These are just a few of the possibilities when marketing with personalized videos.
