Running an ad on YouTube allows you to connect with potential customers through a more targeted approach. Here are the reasons why you should be using YouTube advertising for your brand.
YouTube’s reach is incredible, the access to huge numbers of people that can see your business is fantastic however reach means nothing if you don’t reach the right people. The right people are those in your target audience. YouTube allows you to advertise to people using precision targeting which relates to ads showing based on demographics, location, interests, technological devices, time frame and many more targeting capabilities. You can also target people based on keywords and topics or target users based on their geographic location, language and interests. You can specifically target your ads on Youtube so they are only seen by your chosen audience. This all means you don’t have to waste money showing adverts to the wrong people that will result in you being unlikely to make a good ROI.
You do not need a large marketing budget to start advertising on YouTube. Google AdWords’ flexible pay-per-view system allows you to set a predetermined budget and determine a max cost-per-view. If you run a video advertising campaign for your business, you only have to pay when someone engages with your ad or watches a certain amount of time of the video. This means you don’t waste money on people who aren’t interested in your ad. It’s very affordable and if managed correctly can generate a great return for your business. This makes YouTube advertising extremely cost-effective.
