Beckoned By The “Play” Button: The Importance Of Online Video Advertising

Online video advertising is going strong and there are a lot of great reasons to start making it work for your business. First off, everyone starting an online business is looking for a great return on investment. You put a lot of time and effort into getting things going, and it is important to you that it wasn’t all for nothing. Using video advertising is a great way to help increase your chances of a nice ROI. 83% of businesses say they get a good ROI with video. It is important to note that a video doesn’t have to be flawless. According to recent studies, the main reason people may not be into a video is when it doesn’t explain what you are selling very clearly. Turns out, lower quality and not the best video design is not something people care about nearly as much as they care about having the product explained well. So…explain well and just get them out there!

 

Buying stuff online still seems risky for some people. They are scared of being cheated and they need to have trust in your online business to feel confident buying from you. 57% of consumers report that videos have helped them feel confident buying something online. Building trust is very important, and videos allow you to create those relationships with your customers so that they see you as someone who wants to help you and give you useful information.

 

What is all this about Google liking videos? It is pretty simple. When you have videos on your website, people spend more time on your website, even if they weren’t planning on watching a video but couldn’t help but be dazzled by the pretty colors and pictures and beckoned by that “play” button. Longer time spent on your site by people lets the search engines know that your website must have some great content on it. Studies have even shown that you are 53 times more likely to rank first in Google if your website features a video.

 

Bottom line: You still don’t have a video on your website??!!
