Online Videos, the way to go?

October 2, 2008 · Filed Under Advertising, Internet

I’m sure all of you know Youtube.

Here are some Stats for youtube:

As you can see YouTube has a whole bunch of visitors a day.
Why?

My theory is: people now days get lazy when it comes to reading and finding things. Therefor, if they can just sit back and watch what they are looking for, they’ll do it. Comedy is Great via videos. Like they say: “a picture is worth a thousand words” How much is a video worth?
Video clips are now so Easily and widely available. You don’t have to look far too find a video.

Videos and pictures stick to people much better than a few words. I, for one, will have a whole video played out in my head for a day or so. But when it comes to reading something, I only remember a few parts, “here and there.” I don’t know why.
I believe that everyone has some kind of Photographic memory. (if I can call it that) where you are more likely to remember what you have seen, In a picture or video, than what you have heard or read.

Videos are great because they can be very intruging and capturing. They use both your sight and your hearing. Videos are also great for advertising. How many T.V adds do you see on the TV every night? can you actually count them? How long do you see them for? When are they displayed.

When it comes to online video’s you can view the videos anytime you want and as many times as you want.
For instance, www.global-video-pages.com offers a service like that. You post your video advert on there and it stays on… always.

You don’t have to wait for your “time Slot” to come, for people to see your add.

The Future: I think that videos are going to become very interactive. You will be able to choose what the video does and you will be able to change it as it goes. I think you will be able to controll the outcome of movies.
