Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Earlier in November, advertising and marketing news website AdvertisingAge reported about the first glimpses of YouTubes new shoppable ad videos. This novel style of video advertising allows viewers to click on a boxed part of the screen to be taken to a retailer’s site to purchase the item. Although still in its infancy, the new video ads have created a rise in queries at Melbourne Video Production. Our clients are asking if our custom web videos are suitable for this new style of YouTube marketing, says David Jenyns, web video expert and owner of Melbourne Video Productions, And the answer is yes!
Web videos have become an integral part of the online experience, with businesses using YouTube as a way to better display and market their wares to the growing population of internet shoppers. YouTube realizes that watching web videos is easy, but the trickier part is getting the viewer to click-through to purchase what theyve just seen.
YouTube is trying to help create a clearer path to retailers check-outs through the advent of the shoppable video ad. This new type of video aims to close the gap between YouTube and the retailer, using something called annotations, which allows viewers to click on boxed areas of the videos to purchase an item.
Melbourne Video Production’s director and web video expert, David Jenyns states that even though the shoppable video ads are still in their infancy, Theyre [YouTube] are only going to improve the technology to make them more and more viable to online businesses.
David goes on to say the new-fangled and clickable videos are a little cumbersome, as they stand right now, they dont allow the viewer to have a completely smooth shopping experience while the video is playing, because the video stops once they click to buy. David remarks that once YouTube contrives a way to keep the video streaming while allowing the viewer to purchase, It wont be long before these ads are the only way people shop online.
Many businesses see the value in YouTube offering shoppable video ads, and the interest has created a buzz amongst web video experts like David.
Davids custom web video company, Melbourne Video Production has received a considerable increase in queries in relation to their products being applicable to this new style of advertising.
Because were a fully professional video production company, continues David, were able to create custom web videos that will work perfectly with this new style of shoppable ad.
David further emphasizes that using web videos, even without YouTubes new annotation technology, will improve a sites conversion. Its becoming a known fact that the use of web videos is one of the easiest ways to knock down hurdles for buyers, David says, On its own, a web video increases a websites conversion rate, regardless of if its a product or service business. And once YouTube tweak their shoppable video ads, that conversion rate will soar.
