  • Marketers from the healthcare, technology as well as financial sectors
  • B2B marketers
  • Anyone who want to complement old audio content
  • Content creators or influencers who wish to educate their audience
  • Several non-profit organizations
When should you decide to go for a whiteboard animation for marketing?
It’s not always necessary for a whiteboard animation to be the best alternative for marketing a business or a product. Whether a whiteboard animation is the most suitable option for your marketing purposes, mainly depends on the message you want to convey, the product/service you wish to promote and your marketing goals. 

Besides, under the below situations, whiteboard animations usually become necessary. 

  • When the products/services are too technical

    Whiteboard animation videos are highly used for educational purposes due to their nature. They usually resemble the whiteboards that have been used in classrooms and meeting rooms since years. 

    Watching something being demonstrated on a white space makes it easier to grasp and follow the information or ideas.
  • When you are required to cover a lot of information

    The best whiteboards animations are highly efficient in condensing & synthesizing details. The most unique feature about whiteboards animations is their presentation which allows messages to unfold in front of the audience without distracting them while also keeping them intrigued. 

    While creating whiteboard animations, a marketer is allowed to create longer videos while making sure they are entertaining. This unique feature of content & presentation allows marketers to place more content than they would otherwise do with other forms of video content. However, the audience gets bored after a point of time.
What are the common mistakes you must avoid while creating a whiteboard animation?
A well-made whiteboard animation can be really beneficial for your marketing campaign, whereas a poorly-made one can harm your business too. Here are a few common mistakes that you must avoid: 

  • A whiteboard animation without a drawing hand

    Hand-drawing the images is an ideal format of a whiteboard animation. It provides a dynamism to a whiteboard animation while it also builds a connection with the audience. 
  • A whiteboard animation with a coloured background

    We can’t avoid white in whiteboard animations. A white background usually helps in retaining the information by the viewer, but it also serves another purpose. 

    When you use a coloured background, it helps in emphasizing the importance of a whiteboard animation. In such cases, these pieces of content are more effective than chalkboard animations.
  • Not using interconnected drawings

    Separate illustrations or drawings break the continuity of a whiteboard animation. Therefore, it is suggested to use interconnected imagery in the whiteboard animation in order to make it easier to follow for the audience. This signifies that continuity is the essence of a whiteboard animation. 
  • Creating poor animations 

    The absence of colour along with other distracting elements in whiteboard animations makes the animation more significant. Movement in a video retains the viewer’s attention, whereas it also helps in conveying the idea in a more entertaining manner. 

    If a whiteboard marketing video doesn’t use animation, it won't be effective. Additionally, there are other factors too that can make a video ineffective.
How to choose a video production company that suits your requirements?  
As you are already aware that detail & quality are important for a whiteboard animation to work. And the creative team behind it is bound to meet such requirements. Otherwise marketers are just wasting their time and money on a whiteboard animation. 

With so many firms offering video marketing services, it can be a little tricky to pick the right one for your marketing needs. To make this process easier for marketers, following is a guide to help you make the right decision.

  • Quality & Expertise - While picking a company that provides video marketing services, the first thing you need to do is to go through their portfolio along with references. This is how you will know whether they will suit your brand’s requirements or not.
  • Clear communication - The video marketing company must be well within your reach throughout the entire process of creation of the whiteboard animation. Healthy & clear communication is highly important. The client must be able to give inputs or any suggestions while the video is in progress. 
  • Customization - A custom-made whiteboard animation that is unique is integral to its entire performance. A custom-made whiteboard animation that reflects your company’s reputation is quite essential for the success of your business. 
  • Feedback - Make sure you check the comments, testimonials & feedback of your previous clients. Not every business-client interaction is similar, but it’s worth knowing what the previous customers thought about your products or services in the past.
  • Price - It’s obvious that you receive what you pay for. Companies who charge less usually go for templates in the whiteboard animations which hardly makes the videos original. Besides, other companies which don’t specialize in video marketing services tend to not have enough resources or manpower to create effective whiteboard animations, even if they charge a high price. Therefore, high pricing doesn’t always lead to high quality. 

    Regardless of the niche you belong to, opting the company that specializes in video production services will better accommodate your budget while providing you the quality you are looking for. 
How long does it take to create a whiteboard animation video?
It takes around 4 weeks to create a fully-tailored & good-quality whiteboard animation. Sometimes, it may take a little less time than this because of the pre-made templates companies use to edit. 

It's better to set goals in the beginning of the project & communicate those at the earliest to the creative team. If everyone in the team is on the same page, work flows in an harmonious manner while reducing any edits or revisions. 

Beginners with a minimal budget can also opt for whiteboard animation platforms such as Doodly or Videoscribe. These websites take around 50-60 minutes to create a decent whiteboard animation video. These are easy-to-use platforms which can be downloaded on their websites.
