Online video advertising can be an expensive and time consuming investment, but what factors will increase engagement to avoid viewers from skipping the content or just plain ignoring it?
A study carried out by Hub Entertainment Research investigated what it takes to maintain engagement with online TV content, they surveyed 1206 participants who have broadband at home and watch five or more hours of online TV content every week.
The research used MaxDiff analysis, therefore the greater the number the larger the impact on engagement.
The research found that having a greater control of the ads, the ads being more relevant and targeted as well as being able to control the ad load could lead to increased engagement.
What can I take from this research?
Giving a sense of control and delivering the ad as infrequently and as efficiently as possible can increase engagement in your ad and help make the investment worthwhile.
