Captivate Your Store Visitors with the Video Slider Widget

We're excited to introduce the latest addition to our growing collection of reviews widgets - the Video Slider Widget! 

E-commerce is quickly becoming video-first, and the demand for video UGC is growing. The Video Slider Widget was designed specifically to create a captivating showcase of your video reviews, building stronger trust, and transforming the way customers interact with your products.

Why It's Important

Showcase video UGC in all its glory

Today's customers expect authenticity, and what better way to deliver that than through video reviews? The Video Slider Widget puts your video reviews front and center so that customers aren’t just reading your social proof, they're experiencing it. You can choose from three layouts to create a visual experience that suits your store best. 

Build trust through social proof

Trust is the key to completing a sale. Why? Because people are naturally attracted to video content, and customers often see video reviews as the most helpful, authentic, and trustworthy type of recommendations online. The widget leverages this trust-building potential, making it easier for visitors to connect emotionally with your products. This combination of trust and emotion makes shoppers more likely to buy.

According to insights from Velocity, a PPC agency in Dallas, driving the right audience to your store and immediately engaging them with video reviews creates a powerful environment where trust is built naturally and quickly, leading to higher conversion rates.

Optimize for mobile

With attention spans shrinking, especially on mobile devices, fast loading times are crucial. A recent study by Akamai found that a one-second delay in loading time can result in a 7% reduction in conversions. The Video Slider Widget loads videos in less than half a second, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience, without compromising site performance.

How to Get Started

The Video Slider Widget is available for all Loox merchants and, like all of our widgets, it only takes a few seconds to set up. For a step-by-step walkthrough, read this Help Center article.
