A promotional video (ad) is usually created to promote a service or a product. We’ve seen plenty of them being shared around in YouTube or Facebook which aimed to grab your attentions. But the problem is — most of the promotional videos only support one-way communication and there’s no further “follow-up or deal closing” between the viewers and the video.

It would be better if the video is able to get your viewer to do “more” than just watch your video. For instance, adding a “Buy Now” button to turn a dull promotional video into an interactive one where viewers can be redirected to the product page if they’re interested.

Creating a “Buy Now” button on promotional video (YouTube) is never being so easy. Viewbix provides a service that allows users turn their promotional video into an interactive one as long as this video is hosted on YouTube or Facebook.

In short, Viewbix empowers users to add buttons, links, QR codes and maps to any video in a parallel window. It can be used absolutely for free with a simple registration or sign in using your Facebook account.
