Did you know
that the average American sees anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 ads per day? Yes, you read that number correctly! While the number may seem shocking at first, there’s no denying that more than ever before we are being hit from every angle possible from brands or individuals trying to sell us (or tell us) something.
Additionally, it’s not just brands taking advantage of the intricate ad options online. Social media personalities are relying on ads more than ever to grow their platforms. You may have noticed in the past year that the algorithm on most of our favorite social media apps has (unfortunately) pivoted to favoring those who spend money on their ads. This means that the days of using hashtags to expand your reach are, well, sadly a thing of the past.
Long story short, in order to stand out from the competition online, you’ve got to spend money on ads and make sure that they look good!
THE STATS ON VERTICAL VIDEO ADS
There are plenty of different kinds of ads and ways to target your customers, but one continues to dominate: video. In fact, Animoto reported that 93% of businesses acquire at least one new customer after sharing video to social media. Furthermore, they reported that 57% of millennial consumers watch these videos on their mobile phone.
Do you see where we’re going with this? *wink wink*
That’s right — vertical video ads are king when it comes to reaching customers that will actual convert to sales. Outbrain has reported that by 2026, global video ad spend is set to reach over $295 billion and the majority (over $227 billion) will be spent on mobile video ads.
