Web video advertising is a complex area that doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. Creating a compelling, effective web video takes a great deal of planning and preparation, but when a web advertising campaign goes viral, the benefits that this brings to your business are absolutely astounding.

Unfortunately, there is no precise recipe for success when developing a web video advertising campaign, which is why so many businesses have tried – and failed.

When developing your campaign it’s essential to incorporate a number of elements. As outlined below, by incorporating these elements you will be far more likely to create a successful ad campaign that generates positive results.

Target the Right Audience

The best way to execute a successful campaign is to do in-depth research into your target market. What is their main age range? Are they primarily male or female? What do they do for a living? Do they have children? What do they do in their free time? Finding the answers to all of these questions is a critical step towards developing a video advertising campaign that evokes a range of emotions in viewers.

Make it Compelling

Your video advertising campaign should be so compelling that it would be foolish for viewers not to share it with others. It should captivate the attention of your audience from the offset, by triggering a number of emotions from happiness, pride, sadness and inspiration.

Though this can be difficult to achieve, with the right planning and execution your campaign could result in endless likes and shares across the internet.

Avoid Protracted Ad Campaigns

Your web video ad also needs to be punchy and appealing from the moment it begins to the second it finishes. You cannot afford to lose the attention of your viewers for one second, as this could compel them to quickly click away from the ad.

Instead, limit the length of the campaign to around two minutes or less. In an age where time is everything, people will be far more likely to share your ad and encourage viewers to watch it, particularly if they are only investing a small amount of their time into watching it.
