1. Make sure your customers know that the video contains clickable content. Are the hotspots clearly indicated?
2. Determine exactly how many hotspots are required for the video. Too many may make the video clunky and cluttered, and too few may not fully engage consumers. In your planning, try to determine the right number for your brand.
3. Online brands also need to consider the time factor of doing regular quality assurance checks as shoppable videos can get buggy.
