The Power of Video Advertising: Elevating Your Business to New Heights

By: Ron Meritt 

Consumers are bombarded with a constant stream of information and advertisements, making it crucial for businesses to stand out. One of the most effective ways to stand out is to use video advertising to promote your products or services. Studies have shown that consumers are more likely to watch a video than read an article by over 40%. At ON Advertising, we understand the transformative power of video, and here’s why it should be a cornerstone of your marketing strategy.

Why Video Advertising?

1. Engaging and Memorable Content

Video combines visual and auditory elements to create a multi-sensory experience that is far more engaging than text or static images alone. This engagement is crucial in capturing and holding the attention of your audience. Research has shown that viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to just 10% when reading it in text. This makes video an incredibly powerful tool for delivering your brand’s message in a memorable way.

2. Boosting Conversion Rates

The ultimate goal of any campaign is to drive conversions, and video advertising excels in this area. Including a video on a landing page can increase conversion rates by up to 80%. Videos provide a dynamic way to showcase your products or services, demonstrate their benefits, and build trust with potential customers. This increased engagement and understanding often translates into higher conversion rates and, ultimately, more sales.

3. Enhancing Brand Awareness

Video content is highly shareable, making it an excellent vehicle for increasing brand awareness. Platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are designed to encourage sharing, and videos are among the most shared content on these platforms. When viewers share your videos, they are essentially endorsing your brand to their network, amplifying your reach organically. This can significantly enhance your brand’s visibility and reputation.

4. SEO Benefits of Video Advertising

Search engines love video content. Websites with video are 53 times more likely to rank on the first page of Google search results. This is because videos increase the amount of time visitors spend on your site, which is a key factor that search engines consider when ranking pages. Additionally, properly optimized videos with relevant keywords, tags, and descriptions can further improve your search engine ranking, driving more organic traffic to your site.

5. Versatility Across Platforms

One of the greatest advantages of video advertising is its versatility. Videos can be tailored to fit various platforms and formats, whether it’s a short clip for social media, a tutorial for YouTube, or a compelling story for your website. This adaptability enables you to reach your audience wherever they are and customize your message to suit the unique context of each platform.

6. Building Trust and Credibility

In an age where consumers are increasingly skeptical of traditional advertising, video offers a way to build trust and credibility. Authentic, high-quality videos can humanize your brand, showcase your company culture, and provide valuable insights into your products or services. This transparency helps establish a stronger connection with your audience, fostering loyalty and trust.

7. Measurable Results

With advanced analytics tools, the effectiveness of video advertising can be easily measured. Metrics such as view count, engagement rate, click-through rate, and conversion rate provide valuable insights into how your videos are performing. This data allows you to refine your strategy, ensuring that your video content continues to resonate with your audience and drive desired outcomes.

Incorporating video advertising into your marketing strategy is no longer optional; it’s essential. At ON Advertising, we leverage the power of video to help our clients elevate their brand, engage their audience, and drive measurable results. By embracing video, you can stay ahead of the competition and connect with your audience in a way that is both impactful and memorable. Don’t let your business get left behind—start harnessing the power of video advertising today.

The Ultimate Guide to Advertising to Gen Z in 2019

From Millennials to now what we call Gen Z, the personalities, attitudes, and values have shifted from generation to generation. As new generations are introduced, it is often hard to keep up with and understand them all.

Each generation has had a significant event or tragedy strike in their lifetime; defining who they are, how they live their lives and the decisions they make. Gen Z’s significant life event was the Great Recession/Housing Recession back in late 2007. Watching the rate in which their lives changed and those around them impacted them in a huge way. One way is how they handle their finances. They are careful and meticulous and never make a decision on a whim, instead they research. Looking into every purchase to ensure they will remain financially safe.

The technology era is also a huge turning point for Gen Z. With such technology, they prefer connecting via smartphones rather than face-to-face interactions. They would rather shop online than spend time at a brick and mortar. In addition, print has been undervalued as they prefer getting their news from online sources or through social media. 

A bigger and more pressing question is raised, for businesses at least: “How do we advertise to Gen Z?”

1. Leverage Video Communications

As previously stated, Gen Z prefers connecting via technology; however, they never leave voicemails and prefer text to email. They also are one of the first generations to frequently use, and prefer, YouTube, Netflix, and Reddit. If you can catch their eye and appeal to them in 5-7 seconds with your 2-minute ad before their chosen video begins, then your campaign is a success. 

2. Utilize Influencers

Gen Z was born into a world where social media became incredibly prominent. They value the impact of social media and celebrities influencers which help them to make a decision. Influencers spend a considerable amount of effort and time creating content that will appeal to their accounts followers. When followers are genuinely engaged, it creates a long-lasting relationship with the influencer that they are following. When this happens, it builds trust and loyalty in their minds to believe and trust the advice and recommendations from that influencer.  

3. Mobile Strategy 

Gen Z values their time spent on mobile devices which is why, on average, they engage in over 10 hours on online mobile content per day. By making sites mobile-optimized, they are more likely to be viewed more often. Say goodbye to desktop web browsers and emails, mobile strategy is the way to go!

4. Be Entertaining

As we know, Gen Z values are connected online. They expect authentic, entertaining interactions and experiences that provide what they need before they tell you. To win them over, marketers and advertisers must evolve from simply informing their audience to catching their eye and keeping them entertained.  

5. Provide Them With Information

Gen Z values being well informed before making any big decisions. They want to know who they are doing business with before they do it. Share your company’s message with them, be precise, informative, entertaining, and transparent with what you are selling. Gen Z is different than any other generation, they do their homework! 

Catering to different generations through advertising can take time to get a hang of, but as we grow to find new and innovative ways to and become proficient in how to market and advertise to Gen Z, the creative options are endless which opens an entirely new door for the advertising and marketing industry.

Hines Chandler Viridian Sign glowing during sundown

Welcome to Chandler Viridian

Have you driven by Chandler mall recently? Did you notice a few new buildings occupying a once vacant lot with a half-finished building? In fact, the development company, Hines, has recently completed its $160 million project of building class A office space, a luxurious hotel, and an upscale apartment complex on that 8,900 square foot lot. And guess what? We had the pleasure of working with the executives at Hines to create the main logo and grand opening videos! The new development is called Chandler Viridian, and we are excited to see everything come to life.

Who is Hines

Hines is a privately owned development company that works in 24 different countries around the world. Chandler Viridian was just one of many projects that they are working on. Their portfolio consists of $116.4 billion under management and is growing at a rapid pace.

The Project

Three different videos in only 2 weeks. There were many obstacles that we had to work around while filming these videos and shooting photos to make everything look perfect. One of the most difficult aspects of shooting this development was dealing with the construction still taking place on the buildings. Working around the construction workers and manipulating the shots to make it seem like the building was finished was not an easy task. We did a lot of touching up at the end, including removing equipment, fixing dead trees, and more.

Shoot Day

Another challenge we faced was the limited amount of time we had. We only had 2 weeks to complete the entire production and only 2 days to shoot the entire 8,900 square foot land with all its features. The first day we shot was before the grand opening ceremony. We brought in various models to pose in “lifestyle” shots, giving the audience a taste of what it would feel like to live and work at Chandler Viridian. We even captured drone footage of the land to show a birds-eye view!

The next shoot was at the grand opening ceremony, showcasing all the executives and the first-ever Hines hot air balloon. This was a historic day for us and Hines, as we saw this development come to fruition.

Final Videos

With a short amount of time, multiple obstacles and a lot of hard work, everything came together! Click here to see the final video.

Logo

One of our owners, Eric Garcia, created the logo for Chandler Viridian. As pictured here, the logo is plastered on every sign all around the building, giving the new area a unique brand and contemporary feel. Having the elegant logo all over the development ties the hotel, the office, the apartment complex, and all of the restaurants together.

With the talent of our creative staff and the hard-working accounts team, we were able to produce a great video for the Chandler Viridian development.

When is the Best Time of Day to do Video Advertising?

With millions of websites, YouTube, Facebook and other online video advertising options, the opportunity to present your product or service on the web is limitless. Understanding the relationship between video viewing habits and ad receptivity will maximize your results. By understanding how this relationship works, you can increase revenue opportunities using these insights when engaging in digital ad campaigns.
The research behind this relationship uses a combination of behavioral, contextual and psychographic factors as they all play a role in how consumers view and respond to advertising messaging. Advertisers can improve the effectiveness of any digital ad campaign when using consumer insights and adapt publishing practices to optimize ad receptivity and effectiveness.

Dayparts

While evenings are traditionally viewed as optimal due to the volume of video viewership, early morning viewing has a higher level of receptivity to advertising and the willingness to receive a message from a brand. According to a national study, consumers viewing an advertisement early morning (3:00am – 11:59am) are 11% more likely to buy or react positively to your product or service than during the evening hours. This is the highest time frame for purchase intent. Late night/early morning (9:00pm – 2:59am) is the next highest time for purchasing at 5% more likely to buy than any other time of the day except the early morning time slot.

Devices

Consumers are more receptive to video advertising on tablets than on smartphones during the morning hours but, this trend is reversed during the evening hours when smartphones become the device of choice. This could be attributed to the larger screen size and more immersive experience that tablets offer, making them ideal for consuming longer-form content. Additionally, consumers may be more likely to be relaxed and engaged with their tablets in the morning, making them more receptive to video advertising messages.

Content

Like any effective advertising campaign, content is king! If the content is enjoyable, consumers are four times are more likely to buy your product or service than if they don’t like the content. Storytelling is also a powerful tool in video advertising, capable of creating a strong emotional connection with viewers. By developing well-rounded characters, crafting compelling narratives, and incorporating humor, brands can make their ads more relatable, memorable, and effective. Additionally, visually appealing content, combined with the right music, can enhance the overall message and make ads more enjoyable to watch. User-generated content (UGC) can also add authenticity and credibility to video ads, while also being a cost-effective option. By understanding and leveraging these elements, brands can create video ads that resonate with their target audience and drive results.

Increasing Revenue

By understanding viewership behaviors, ad receptivity and ad performance insights, advertisers can build strategies to better connect with consumers at the time across the right device.  Therefore, advertisers should take advantage of this research and maximize profit opportunities particularly as it relates to placing ads in early morning time slots when digital ad receptivity is highest.
