What Is a Lead Generation Video?

A lead generation video is video built to capture viewer information, usually through a form or a call to action tied to the content.

Lead Generation Video

A lead generation video pairs content a viewer wants with a way to collect their details, such as a form inside the player or a prompt to sign up. The video draws interest, and the form turns that interest into a contact.

The trade only works when the content is worth handing over contact details for. 

For example, a viewer enters their email inside a webinar recording to keep watching.
