According to a test program conducted by video sharing platform EXPO, brands that placed consumer-generated video content on their product pages saw a 38 percent lift in sales compared to brands that failed to use video content.
Evaluating sales numbers from June 2012 against June 2013, the test data included online sales results for eight brands from the Reckitt Benckiser’s family of consumer goods, including Clearasil, Delsym, Finish, Lysol, Airwick, Resolve, Veet and Woolite.
