What is an Online Video Commercial?
It is a 15 to 30 second ad that a viewer can watch, be educated or gain understanding of a product or service that your business provides.
The fact is Americans like to watch videos. To capture this new found audience we as business owners need to make adjustments. The old way of getting our business name and services out to the public has changed considerably. No longer do flier's, door hangers or phone books cut the mustard. Lets face it the population uses the internet to find just about anything. I haven't had a phone book in my house or at the office in years. I throw away whatever it is that hanging on my door blocking the lock without even looking at it and a flier's on my car or truck gets the same demise.
Video Commercials are not new to marketing businesses. In fact Commercials are kind of a nuisance on our televisions. We try to avoid them like the plague, recording T.V. shows and sports with our DVR's so that we can skip over the commercials and watch our shows at our own leisure and skip those annoying commercials. Just the opposite is true for us computer users.
Today we have Online Video Commercials which have put a new spin on marketing a business. Besides the cost of making a video which can be relatively inexpensive. There is no cost to post these videos on most public websites, where potential clients can view your online video commercial. There are websites that will charge you a fee to put your online video commercial before or after another video that a viewer has chosen to watch. i.e. news feeds, movie trailers and other things of interest. It is like having a captive audience because they have chosen to watch something and the only way to view it is to watch the advertisement before it will play for them.
With these public websites they allow us to upload just about anything. It is usually uploaded to any number of video websites. i.e. Youtube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, AOL Video and many other venues to choose from. So why not get your business it's exposure it so deserves and more importantly the potential of gaining a new client or customer to your business. They can also be embedded in a business profile pages or other forms of advertisements.
