Remember that weird meow mix ad on TV? Hasn’t gotten off your mind, has it? Video ad campaigns have been traditionally used as a primary medium for the branding and topical promotion. As we thrive in the age of the internet, video ads are more relevant than ever, with digital consumption trends shifting heavily towards video over the past six years, 4x as many consumers would prefer to watch a video about a product than to read about it.
There are lots of marketing channels in the industry and while some are video-specific, others are ideal for content of all shapes and sizes. Like all forms of content marketing, if you’re going to take the time to create these videos, you must also have a strategy in place to promote it to the right audience. While social media channels are a popular agency for most brands and companies, brand’s website is one among many other popular mediums for viewing most videos.
Now that you have created cool videos, put them up on the different channels, hopefully made them instantly shoppable, and reached out to your audience, what do you do next?
With a large amount of time and money being invested in creating content for these channels, how would you measure returns? What metrics do I really need to pay attention to?
Here are four go-to set of metrics to measure your video campaign’s performance:
Using elements (buttons, CTAs, links) in the video will help the user easily navigate and land on the required pages.
Video increases the time spent by the user on your brand’s real estate (landing pages, blogs, websites, etc.)
Based on the video content, users typically advance and interact with elements in the video player
Watching videos will help users connect with your brand and if the content is relevant, they will keep coming back for more!
Although 59% of executives prefer watching a video about a product than reading about it, it is important to make the videos relevant and easily consumable. We came to know through Google that 4 out of 5 users will click away or drop off if the video stalls while loading. This clearly shows that the recipe for success of a video marketed is the right mix of effectiveness, relevancy and ease of use.
At Vue.ai, we conducted a study on a popular jeanswear brand that launched their first shoppable video campaign using VueStudio – Vue.ai‘s Shoppable Video solution.
As a Holiday season special, a popular jeanswear brand launched its first shoppable video campaign in 2017. The objective of the video campaign was to maximize returns by driving traffic to the website and in turn, conversions.
The main outcomes of the campaign are engagement and conversion based insights.
Making the videos actionable involve a lot of obstacles such as:
Q. Is there one solution to try and tackle most, (if not all) of the hurdles mentioned above?
