The general workflow looks something like this: Be clear in your mind what problem your SaaS video is addressing. Define the metrics on which you are going to measure success. Check whether your video is successful in doing it. If not, tweak and improve. If successful, find reasons why it is successful and if you can use it elsewhere to replicate its success.
A SaaS video comes in various flavors, so it is important to use the right type to meet a specific goal. Example, Social videos to connect with the audience, FAQ videos to reduce customer tickets, product demos to showcase your products to new customers, customer testimonials to improve conversion rates, and so on.
SaaS videos can help you bring more visitors to your website, improve site ranking, improve brand awareness, help connect and engage better with customers, create a buzz around your product launches, and get customers to spend more on your website.
It depends. If your intention is to get people to watch your videos, then the answer is yes. If it is to increase sales, mere view count may not mean much to you. But the consolation you can draw is that your video is made well enough to attract a random surfer!
