White Jacobs & Associates knew video would be a critical tool in introducing their services to potential clients. They also knew that slow video would keep their message from getting out to those who needed it most because they would just leave the website. YouTube videos were just too slow to load and had frequent buffer issues. It was clear they needed a YouTube alternative, but which one was going to resolve buffering issues and not create new problems?

No Video is Better than Slow Video

Using video simply helps websites convert better unless the playback is so slow it results in a poor user experience. People have brief attention spans and won’t wait. It was for these reasons Pedro Cuencas, Director of Digital Marketing, and his team at White Jacobs & Associates decided not to have video on their landing page at all.

“Before Swarmify, we did not want to use video on our landing page because slow-loading videos is a turn-off for website visitors. We believed that it was better NOT to have video on a page instead of having slow-loading video.”
Pedro Cuencas, Director of Digital Marketing, White Jacobs & Associates

However, knowing the importance of video and how it can help improve conversions, they continued their search for a YouTube alternative.

The Solution

Using Swarmify’s SmartVideo, White Jacobs & Associates added a video to their landing page. Swarmify offers buffer-free, stall-proof playback making it easy to say goodbye to slow-loading video. They noticed an immediate reduction to their bounce rate because videos were not impaired by buffering or stalling-out, resulting in further engaged visitors, as intended.

“The impact we have on our website visitors is stronger because we can communicate a more powerful message through video.”

A decreased bounce rate meant people were spending more time on their website, but were these visitors converting to customers?

Businesses the world over are turning to video to engage potential customers and capture their business. Video is more entertaining, memorable, and engaging.
