Character explainer videos are typically used to explain your business' product or service with animated character's.

A lot of businesses use them on their landing pages as VSL's (Video sales letters) as they easily assist you in communicating your marketing message in a visually engaging way. As a matter of fact, when put on websites, character explainer videos are said to have boosted some business's conversion rates by as much as 144%. 

So if it converts so much, why don’t a lot of businesses use them yet?
