The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for advertisers, and it's crucial to stand out from the competition. One of the most effective ways to do this is through interactive cross-device video advertising. By leveraging video ads that engage holiday shoppers across multiple devices, you can drive higher engagement and conversions. Let's explore how you can make the most of this innovative approach this season.

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.
