Video sales letters

A VSL funnel that shows the offer when the video gets there

Put your video sales letter on a page that reveals the buy button at the right second and tells you where viewers drop off.

Quick answer

A VSL funnel is a short path built around a video sales letter: a page with the video, an offer that appears as the pitch lands, and a checkout. Bumbi builds that page for you from templates, reveals buttons and blocks at the moment you choose, and shows how far people actually watch.

A video sales letter does the selling a long sales page does, but in your voice. The catch: if the buy button is visible from second one, people click before they understand the offer, or leave before the part that would have convinced them.

A good VSL page waits. The offer appears when you make it in the video, and the page around the video is plain enough not to distract.

What you can do

What you can do with Bumbi VSL pages

  • Templates for real offers

    Start from a product, course, lead magnet, appointment booking, consulting application or webinar replay template.

  • Reveal on cue

    Show a button or block at a set second, after a share of the video, when it ends, or right away. Once shown, it stays.

  • Return visitors

    Show blocks to returning visitors or known leads, and let people continue watching where they left off.

  • Watch time analytics

    See how far viewers get, where they drop, and how many reach the offer.

  • Checkout built in

    The offer links to your Bumbi product checkout, with local currency for buyers abroad where supported.

  • Your video host

    Bumbi never hosts video. Use a YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny or HLS link.

What a video sales letter needs to say

Most strong video sales letters follow the same order, whatever the product:

  • The hook. Name the problem in the first few seconds.
  • The cost of the problem. What it is costing them now.
  • The turn. Why the usual fixes fail, and what works instead.
  • Proof. Results, examples or your own story.
  • The offer. What they get, the price and the guarantee.
  • The call to action. Exactly what to click, said out loud.

On Bumbi, you place the buy button reveal at the second where the offer starts, so the button appears as you say it.

How a VSL funnel works on Bumbi

A VSL offer in Bumbi can have up to three steps: an optional entry page (for example a short form to get the video), the VSL page itself, and a confirmation page. Each step is a page you edit in the visual builder, so you can change words, images and buttons without code.

Example

A low priced course. Leo sells a short course on spreadsheet skills. His VSL is 12 minutes. The buy button appears at minute nine when he reveals the price. The analytics show half of viewers leave around minute four, so he cuts that section and moves his best example earlier.

Countdowns on VSL pages only count down to a real, fixed end date. Bumbi does not offer a fake timer that restarts for every visitor.

Making the VSL video itself

You do not need a studio. A clear voice, simple slides or your face on camera, and a script that follows the order above will beat a polished video with a weak offer. Upload it to YouTube, Vimeo or Bunny, paste the link in Bumbi, and test it on your phone before you share it. For the words around the video, see how to build a sales page.
