Analysis of 20,000 Videos with a Billion Plays Shows 'Resume Play' Feature Boosts Returning Traffic Conversions by 40%

Use this Netflix ‘secret’ in YOUR videos to increase viewer engagement and keep your audience hooked

The key to video conversions is to NOT be boring…

And nothing is more boring for your viewer than having to re-watch the same video from the start when they return to your website.

In fact, that’s why Netflix added their “Skip Intro” button, which gets pushed 136 million times daily…
What’s that mean for YOUR videos?

Well, if millions of people can’t stand watching a few seconds intro for their favorite show…
…the last thing most want to do is rewatch countless minutes of your videos. 

This is especially true, if you're driving retargeting traffic or email follow ups to a long video without a seeking bar…
Or if people leave for some reason – and then return to your website to start watching your video again!

Luckily, we fixed this issue with Vidalytics' Resume Play. It's a the easiest and fastest way to boost your conversions. It just takes a click of a button.

Once it's enabled, this gives your viewers 2 options:

Option A: Start over from the beginning if they need a refresher
Option B: Save time by picking up where they left off

This prevents the bored-factor, increases engagement and conversions. Plus, you can change all the text and colors to personalize it for your specific audience.

Never be boring again! 🙂

Here’s Everything You Can Do With Vidalytics’ Resume Play Feature

Customize Look

You have complete control over the headline and button copy, colors, and settings. You can even choose to opt-out of messaging altogether.

Works Out-of-the-Box With Play Gates

Works great with viewers who opted into your Play Gate and wanted to “save your video for later”, they’ll be tagged.

Automatically Re-Tags in CRM

If someone starts re-watching your video and hits a new milestone, it’ll automatically re-tag the contact in your CRM so you can follow up with them even more.

"Optimizing VSLs is fucking hard. Vidalytics allows you to track engagement of your videos by UTM parameters! I found this feature and saw more than a 5X engagement boost with the same video, just a different ad angle (3.6% vs. 17.34%). This is a game changer. It allows us to optimize our funnel so much more effectively now that we can see exactly which ad angles are driving the highest intent. This is pretty sweet!"

“There’s a video hosting service called Vidalytics. That thing’s really cool! When a viewer hits X minutes [watch time in your video], it’ll tag them in Vidalytics, and then you can use Zapier to send that tag data over to your email system, or CRM.”

"I love that Vidalytics was built by marketers for marketers... Our conversions are up because of smart-autoplay, faster load times, start-from-where-you-left-off for returning visitors etc... Plus they moved all of our videos over from our backup, which was great. More conversions, lower costs, great customer service."

"Vidalytics gives you deeper analytics around engagement and where viewers convert. This is super useful if you're like me and want to split test everything. Other video solutions don't give the insights needed to optimize for conversion. The biggest difference was the Smart Autoplay.
