6 Suggestions Why Online Product Video Campaigns Are Effective

By Amy Gribbon


The use of video marketing to promote goods and services online has become common practice among internet entrepreneurs today. Using the audio-visual media in promotional campaigns is due to it effectiveness in reaching target audiences rapidly, and delivering a message powerfully and clearly. Below are some indicators as to why online product video advertising is so popular these days.

One advantage of using internet video marketing to launch merchandise is that people easily remember what's been seen and heard. And if it makes a colorful and humorous impact, the better. People are also more likely to talk about it to others if the message is well constructed and relayed. This format thus brings the reality of items for sale home in ways that few other media can.

When consumes observe goods displayed live on screen this has a more immediate and lasting effect. It makes what was seen more believable than if one were to read about it, or hear of it over the radio. On film it carries its emotional message with more gravity, thereby making a more profound impact. Promotional clips like these also convey a sense of reality about the merchandise and the people behind it like nothing else does.

It's also very easy to share it with friends and family via emails. Folk also have the tendency to post the links of clips that were impressive on social media sites or send these via email. This way a campaign continues unofficially but still with great effect, reaching more and more of the target audience and beyond.

The format itself is convenient. With one click consumers can easily engage with the relevant information and appropriate emotional appeal. And all this happens simultaneously. Its power lies in it being able to show, rather than merely tell, a story. And this is far more convincing. Seeing something working in real time makes people far more willing to purchase it than by reading of it's effectiveness.

The human and personal touch that this medium offers also counts in its favor. It's less alienating than books, photographs or radio, as personal as these might be at times. But the latter generally lacks the ability to grab the attention with such force and in such an immediate manner.

There's also something more believable about a piece of merchandise when seeing other human beings on film dealing with it. The logic is that if folk are prepared to show faces on screen then there must be a measure of truth to it. So as relationship builders between advertisers and customers this format is ideal.

Web-based product video marketers thus use modern technology to great effect in running successful promotional campaigns. There is no question as to its superior effectiveness in spreading the news about merchandise or a service. These indicators are only a few among a host of other related benefits.
