Did you know that sequencing video ads increase retention by 91%! 😱
Yep, that's right.
You're probably wondering, what is video ad sequencing?
With video ad sequencing, you can tell your product or brand story by showing people a series of videos in the order that you would like to show to a person!
If you're showing your target audience YouTube ads that aren't sequenced to each other, you're missing out on a huge opportunity.
Let me explain... with real data.
A study was done by Ipsos, they compared 2 ads that are unsequenced, to 2-3 ads that are sequenced. This is what they found:
Video ads that were sequenced achieved an 87% increased lift in Top of Mind brand awareness, 74% increased lift in Ad Recall, and a staggering 105% increase lift in Purchase Intent 🚀
A 3-4 video sequence achieves an increased retention of 91% over 2 repeating YouTube ads!
There are a few ways to structure your sequence, depending what your objective is will determine which sequence method is best to go with.
- Introduce & reinforce: Introduce your brand with a long video ad, then reinforce your message with a short video ad.
- Prompt & inspire: Prompt viewers with a short video ad, then inspire them with a long video ad.
- Attract & direct: Attract viewers with a short video ad, inspire them with a long video ad, then direct them to action with another short video ad.
- Engage & differentiate: Divide your brand narrative into multiple parts or tell the same story from different angles with 4 short video ads.
