Video Ads Open Up New Online Marketing Possibilities

Video advertisements, such as those created with MSN video, are the future of online advertising. The video advantages and disadvantages point to a strong future with the medium in the advertising world. In fact, online video advertising is projected to grow at an astonishing rate!

What is Video Advertising?

Online video advertising is popping up all over the Internet. As more and more people are becoming connected to the Internet via broadband connections, the disadvantages of slow load speeds are no longer a major concern with online advertisers.

Video advertising is advertising that incorporates streaming video. Streaming banners are an example of video advertising. With this type of ad, the video is confined within the boundaries of the banner ad, which is excellent because it can run without hindering the user from viewing the remainder of the website. Streaming video in the body of an email is another popular form of video ad.

What do video ads usually contain? Think of it like a miniature TV commercial. It might include a demonstration of a product, a testimonial about its effectiveness, or employ a clever "plot" to achieve better "branding" or recognition for the items or services in question. Online video ads are also quite popular with political candidates and for displaying movie previews or "trailers."

While this is a newer venue of online advertising, it is growing steadily. Statistics project that the amount of money spent on online video ads will reach $657 million by the year 2010. The growth stems from the growing popularity of broadband connections. The disadvantages of online ads used to be that they significantly slowed load speed for users on a dial-up connection. As dial-up eventually phases out, this will no longer be a concern.
