If you’ve heard about video brochures1 but aren’t quite sure how they work, what they cost, or whether they’re right for your business—you’re not alone.
We get these questions every day from marketing teams, sales professionals, and agency buyers across industries. So, let’s clear the confusion.
Here are the top 10 questions about video brochures, answered in plain English.
1. What is a video brochure?
A video brochure is a printed booklet that contains an embedded LCD screen, speaker, and battery. When opened, it automatically plays a video message—combining the tactile impact of print with the emotional power of video.
It’s used in B2B sales, product launches, real estate presentations, investor kits, and more.

2. How does the video play?
Once opened, the video plays automatically using a magnetic or light sensor trigger. You can also include buttons to:
- Play/Pause
- Adjust volume
- Switch between multiple videos
- Replay content
Touchscreen options are also available for advanced user interaction.
3. Can I upload my own video?
Yes! It’s as easy as plugging the video brochure into your computer using the provided USB cable. The device mounts like a USB drive. Just:
- Delete the default video
- Drag your new video file into the same folder
- Eject the device safely
- Done—your new video plays when opened
Note: The 2.4" screen requires special formatting. For best results, let us handle the upload before shipping.
4. What video formats are supported?
Most common formats are supported, including:
- MP4
- AVI
- MPG
If you’re unsure, we can help convert and optimize the video for best playback quality.

5. How long does the battery last?
Typically, 2+ hours of continuous playback. That’s more than enough for meetings or presentations. Brochures come with built-in rechargeable lithium batteries and a USB charging cable.
Battery capacity varies depending on screen size:
- 300–650mAh for smaller screens
- Up to 2000mAh for 7" or 10" screens
6. Can the video brochure be reused?
Yes. You can update the video at any time, making it a reusable and future-proof investment2.
Some clients even use them for:
- Quarterly product updates
- Seasonal greetings
- Trade show follow-ups
- Personalized pitch follow-ups
