YouTube Advertising

What are Youtube Ads?

Guaranteed viewing power for well crafted, brand awareness videos that appear before the selected YouTube clip.

YouTube Ads allows you to target your potential audience by showcasing relevant videos to them and trying to entice them to commit a goal conversion action. YouTube is the world’s leading video search engine. Individuals and organisation can post videos in accordance with YouTube’s community guidelines and terms of use and set the video’s accessibility to either private or public viewing. YouTube now accommodates live streaming so that users can simultaneously broadcast their audio-visual spectacular to viewers anywhere throughout the world. Having built a strong reputation for providing an easy-to-use platform for video distribution and viewing, many businesses across the world are using YouTube as part of their digital marketing strategy. Most people dislike reading text so a marketing strategy that uses sound and visuals is a great way to reach out to members of your target market who want to be told and shown!

If YouTube is not part of your marketing strategy, you will need to revisit the efficacy of your marketing channels. There is only so much benefit that text can provide on a website page, in a blog or on print media. Sometimes, it helps to show your goods and services in all their glory by providing a demonstration, tutorial, time-lapse, 3D schematic, behind the scenes footage, fashion update or other. Think about all the opportunities that exist to help explain why your good or service is better than your competitors without using text. YouTube offers businesses the ability to use audio-visuals as a dominant marketing tool so that viewers can learn more about the business without having to read through pages of text. With accessibility features for the disabled and close monitoring of YouTube content, the platform is highly optimised and regulated to assist individuals and limit the distribution of offensive or illegal material.

What does YouTube offer?

It has been reported by various organisations that users online spend at least half of their time browsing videos and other like material. Since YouTube has a reputation for being a reliable video search engine that helps users find exactly what they want to see and hear, most of that time is spent on the YouTube platform. YouTube offers various paid advertising options to help businesses promote their goods and services to the right people. When a user searches for a video in YouTube’s platform, the user will receive advertising either at the start of the video, throughout the video, as a banner that appears on the video or towards the end or at the end of the video. The advertising can be linked to the type of content that is being shown through the video using keywords, target market identification, timing preferences, demographics or even language of the video being displayed.

This functionality does come at a cost and operates through Google’s Adwords system. Given the connection with Google Adwords, each marketing campaign will be unique and needs to be separately defined. Users of YouTube advertising will need to bid for advertising space, of which there is ample opportunities given the amount of new videos that are being created and uploaded every minute. The approach is a great way to build search engine optimisation for your organisation and brand. Not only will your business appear in webpage results which contain text, but your organisation will appear in video searches too. This helps makes your organisation more accessible and broadens your target market.

Is there a free option on YouTube?

Yes – In addition to a paid advertising promotion, you can create a YouTube account and post videos about your business without cost. There will be no targeted distribution method but limited search engine optimisation within YouTube. You will need to use your existing website and online presence including social media channels to increase your chances of users searching for your videos in YouTube. You can use the platform in this manner to post videos about new products, customer testimonials, how to guides, product demonstrations, lifestyle choices videos, updates about internal operations, news about the industry and much more. YouTube allows you to include a description with hyperlinks back to your website.
