What is YouTube Advertising?
It is basically advertising using promotional video adverts on the hugely popular video website; Youtube.
There several different options to consider, and they evolve all the time, the most popular forms of YouTube video advertising at the moment are:
True View adverts are the adverts that appear at the start of a searched-for video. As with all adverts, they are targetted, so your promotional video advert will be seen by people who are likely to have an interest in you, based on their previous search history in Google and YouTube viewing habits.
Non-skippable ads - these sound like... non-skippable video adverts, which typically appear at the start (but also sometimes mid-way through videos). Again, they are targeted to hit pre-determined demographics for maximum return on investment.
Bumper adverts - these are a more user-friendly version of non-skippable adverts, in that you can skip them after 6 seconds; they are essentially less irritating for the viewer. They typically appear at the end of a video that someone has watched, so they are less intrusive.
If you would like more in-depth information on any of the above video ad options, contact us today, and one of the team members will call you back to discuss them in more detail.
What Are The Benefits of Advertising on YouTube in IV11 8?
There are a number of benefits. The most obvious benefits are:
Reach a prospective new audience - your product, service or brand will be presented to a wide and new audience with a video ad created by you and hitting them at a time when they are receptive, either watching at home or on a mobile device. This is unlike other forms of advertising, such as outdoor or a press ad, which can be missed if a potential consumer is focused on something else.
Targetted - although reaching new people, these video ads will be targeted to people who are likely to have an interest in what you are offering based on their search history and preferences. This level of targeting is consistent with most strands of digital marketing.
Cost-effective - in the same way that most forms of online and digital marketing are controllable from a budget perspective, Youtube is as well. This means that if results aren't what you want, you can amend settings to make sure that you are getting the best return on investment.
Controlled budget - you can choose to spend as much or as little as you want, setting budget control limits means there are no nasty surprises at the end and gives a sense of control and peace of mind.
Results - it works. YouTube marketing has proven and growing results, which is why it is used by such a wide and varied industry, from sports advertising to retail marketing and finance.

What Is The Cost of Advertising on YouTube?
Just like any other form of advertising, video ad costs will vary depending on a range of different factors, these are namely:
Type of advert - as mentioned above, there are a number of options to consider (Truevide ad, in-stream ad, etc.); therefore, the type of video ad and length of your video could impact the cost.
Length of campaign - how long do you want to run your advertising campaign? Are you looking for something over a few days or something more sustained? Often, this will depend on what you are selling and how quickly you are looking to achieve exposure and results.
Reach - how many people are you looking to reach? The broader and more people you want to reach the more expensive it will be, that said, reaching a wider audience could be beneficial especially if you have a product or service needed by all, or if you are looking to establish a brand.
As mentioned, one of the best components of this form of promotion is that you can control and set a budget, which means it can be used by nearly any size company, from a small sole trader to an international company.
A separate cost that must be factored in is the production of a high-quality and suitable video ad. You may already have one to use, however, if you need help check out our video production page.

Frequently Asked Questions about YouTube Marketing
“We are interested in running Youtube ads in conjunction with a Google ads campaign we are going to run. We are unsure of how to get started. Firstly, how long should the video ads be? We have been told to make one at least 30 seconds long? And where will the video ads appear?” In terms of the advert, we suggest 30 seconds long is perfect, anything beyond that and you can start to lose the interest of the viewer. Where they appear will depend on the ad format you choose, you could choose in-stream ads, a Trueview ad, discovery ads, or something different. We can drop you an email with a breakdown of the various ad formats so you can choose the best one for people who are interested in your product.
