Bridging the Gap between Content & Commerce

It’s no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digitization across various industries, from healthcare to education to retail. The idea of having e-commerce or online store is no longer a novelty but a matter of existence and staying relevant. For some, this may have come as a harsh wake-up call, but with work-from-home and self-isolation measures expected to last for at least a year, businesses are ramping up the effort in this direction.

Shoppable Videos

Shifting the focus to consumers – as per Cisco, by 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic — 15 times higher than it was in 2017. In fact, online video consumption has quadrupled during COVID-19, as per the WARC report.

Given the YoY trends along with COVID-19 media consumption changes, we can all agree that nothing seems to capture people’s attention and passion as much as online video, making it the most effective form of marketing.

As a recent article in VentureBeat points out – if there’s one thing that’s in abundance in 2020, it’s video content. The streaming wars are raging, with services churning out enough programming for a lifetime. Meanwhile, social media platforms keep expanding and grabbing more of people’s finite attention. But while consumers have no shortage of content, what’s lacking is an experience that grabs their attention by offering more than just viewing.

Transitioning from Users to Viewers Experience

wootag-interactive-video-player-1024x523User experience (UX) led the digital landscape transformation over the years. Design thinking evolved even as brands realized that websites and apps needed to be intuitive, easy to navigate and beautiful. While videos started out as a component of UX, they have now taken centre stage as far as creating a holistic viewer experience (VX) is concerned. In fact, VX is the new UX

Learning’s from User Experience Across All Channels

User experience (UX) refers to end-users’ digital experiences across products. It deals with consumers’ interactions with products and their experiences through this process. The experience the user has with each of these channels shapes their overall UX with the brand or company. Failure of UX in any channel has a negative impact on the overall user experience. Despite the focus on UX, a study finds that 72% out of 700 million websites fail to engage users consistently or in driving conversions. Three out of four apps are not used after the initial download.

Why Viewer Experience is Must

The transition to ‘VX’ from “UX’ has already happened. The quality of VX is deemed to be the most crucial factor that determines viewer engagement. VX is not about creating a single isolated video or explainer video on top of the website, but about creating a visual framework that includes multiple media assets all of which fit into the positioning of the brand. Optimal viewer experience is lined to engagement levels, recall and retention, conversion rates, ROI, lead generation and brand loyalty.The compelling power of videos is a major reason why the value of VX is phenomenally growing. People love watching moving images and interactive content much more than any other media. A staggering statistic is that by 2021, videos will comprise 80% of the total web traffic.

Interactive Video: Powerful Statistics

The future of interactive video marketing is already here. These trends for 2019 prove the dominance of interactive videos as marketing tools:

  • There is a 100% increase in mobile video consumption every year.
  • On YouTube, viewers watch more than one billion hours’ worth of video content every day, while on Facebook, video views per day are more than 8 billion. About 35 videos have had more than 2 billion views as of July 2019.
  • 93% of businesses gained a new customer on social media as a result of an interactive video.
  • 90% of consumers make a purchase decision after watching product videos.
  • Interactive videos boost viewing time with 88% more time spent on a website with an engaging video.
