Have you had immense success with Dynamic Creative but can’t sustain those results? You probably have banner blindness to blame for that.
Banner blindness, a long-studied phenomenon, is an instance of selective attention where users deliberately ignore anything that looks like an ad.
But the answer to this problem may be simple - switch to dynamic video ads. Since users become accustomed to images after a point, using video can help you stop the scroll and lower CPM and higher CTR.
What are dynamic video ads?
Dynamic video ads are a subset of Facebook’s dynamic creative which allows you to add different ad elements like videos, titles, descriptions, and CTAs and let the algorithm test and tell which combination works best with your audience and your campaign’s goals.
Are video ads better than image ads?
The short answer? Yes.
According to Statista, video ad spend is forecasted to reach up to $9.26 billion by 2024.
With the ATT update, it is no surprise that advertisers are diversifying their ad spend.
Animoto’s survey of 580 customers found out how they respond to video ads. Here are a few important highlights:
- 93% of consumers find video helpful when purchasing a product.
- Consumer report video being their #1 favorite type of content from brands on social
- Consumer prefer video over reading about a product or looking at photos
- Facebook and Instagram are among the top three platforms consumers use to find new products and services
Hunch’s Head of Product, Nebojsa Knezevic, shares:
You can lose users pretty fast if you stick with images.
There are two reasons why video ads are better - better engagement and placement.
Users spend more time on video. The explosive growth of both Reels and Stories is proof.
And traditional video placement on the news feed doesn’t get the kind of engagement it used to so you don’t want to try that approach. Be where your users are - reels and stories.
