Why Interactive Video Ads?

Interactive video ads offer a dynamic way to engage your audience. Unlike traditional video ads, interactive videos allow viewers to engage directly with the content. This could be through clickable elements, hotspots, overlays, or even direct purchases within the video. The result? Higher engagement rates and more memorable experiences, across devices.

BENEFITS OF INTERACTIVE VIDEO ADS
  • Enhanced Engagement: Interactive elements keep viewers engaged longer than standard video ads and offer the perfect canvas to bring your brand to life during the holidays.
  • Better Conversion Rates: Direct calls-to-action within the video can drive higher conversion rates and drive casual holiday perusers into active holiday shoppers.
  • Rich Data Collection: Gather valuable data on viewer interactions to measure success and refine future campaigns.

 

The Power of Cross-Device Advertising

In today's multi-device world, consumers often switch between smartphones, tablets, and desktops throughout the day. And holiday shoppers are no different! Cross-device video advertising ensures your message reaches your audience no matter which device they're using to get their shopping done. This seamless experience is key to maintaining engagement and driving conversions. Plus, it can be a turnkey creative process when you can use one video asset and enhance it appropriately with interactivity for all screens.

Advantages of Interactive Cross-Device Video Ads
  • Seamless Brand Storytelling: Deliver a unified message across all devices.
  • Higher Reach: Engage users wherever they are doing their shopping this holiday, increasing the chances of conversions.
  • Optimized Performance: Tailor ads to perform best on each device type.

Case Study: A Cross-Device Approach

In their 2023 partnership, PadSquad and a fashion retailer engaged its Q4 Holiday audience with two high-impact video ad formats—mobile Product Cards and desktop VidStream+ Product Cards—achieving above-benchmark performance in key KPIs like Engagement Rate, CTR, VCR, and Avg Exposure Time. The cross-device campaign ran the Product cards units across both mobile and desktop devices, ensuring comprehensive reach and consistent brand messaging by engaging consumers on more than one screen and optimizing the ad experience across different platforms. The cross-device approach proved to be successful, resulting in an engagement rate of 6% for the campaign.
