Explainer videos are a must for any website, especially if your company is new, or if you have a product or service that isn’t easily understood. If  you don’t know where to start or just need some inspiration to kick around new ideas, we’ve compiled five of our favorite explainer videos to get your creative juices flowing.

Crazy Egg

A great example of an animated explainer video – it’s fast paced, energetic and gets the point across.

Dollar Shave Club

This funny, quirky video went viral, netting more than 19 million views.

Liberty Fillmore

Another fun, creative video about an otherwise boring topic.

Mint

Simple, to-the-point: a good reminder that you don’t need to be quirky or go viral to have an awesome video.

Pinterest

I love that Pinterest tells you at the beginning of the video how long it will take me to watch it.

Trust Guard

We may be a little biased (ok, we’re a lot biased) but we love this video’s snappy voiceover and quick graphics.
