From most readings, especailly an interesting online article written by Terri Miller, it is becoming more logical to move into Video Marketing Productions, and by his thoughts will become a staple.

For instance, please read these quotes from Terri Millers blog:

• “This [online video ads] could very well become the dominant form of online advertising…probably within the next 18 to 24 months” - Bob Hanna, senor vice president of sales with Burst Media-a group that offers publisher sites to advertisers.

• “Online video ad spend is to surge by 89% in 2007 and is poised to grow and in 2010 will be worth around $2.9 billion”. - marketing vox.

It should now becoming more clearer that Video marketing will most likely become the “next big thing” in the world of Internet marketing.

Well what is Video marketing? Well most would say that Video marketing is the use of video for conveying your message to an audience while topics can range from business perspectives to personal grievances. Most experts believe that videos are more effective when it comes to establishing an engaging and interactive platform to communicate with the target audience.

Video advertising is one of the basic forms of video marketing. In most cases of video advertising, the advertiser would make use of the video that is already being run across various television channels. Usually, a video is edited to shorten the duration. This also makes the video more appealing to the online audience.

However, as Terri Millers blog describes, their can be many pitfalls when creating a proper Video marketing campaign. According to Amit I. Budhrani of Alza Management Institute, “Most advertisers feel that the content for a video advert can be borrowed from their own TV commercials. However, this is not the case. One needs to clearly differentiate between a video advert and an advertisement made for the TV. Video made for a TV can nevër replace video that is required for the Internet. And it will not make a good impression about the company in the eyes of the people since they can quickly make out that the ad has been copied directly from the TV. If this happens then one is likely to löse out on viewers since people will not care to view the ad of the company ever again. Hence the company will loose viewers instead of gaining them. And this will be a very big loss of opportunity.”

The growing popularity of such sites as YouTube has opened up one more avenue for advertisers, business houses and the corporate sector. One can place videos in social network sites. According to a report that appeared in Reuters, “YouTube, the leader in Internet video search, said on Sunday viewers are now watching more than 100 million videos per day on its site, marking the surge in demand for its “snack-sized” video fare.”

Experts state that this particular form of advertising has not only great scope, provided the videos feature original content and are high on creativity, but will become a standard for an internet marketing campaign.
