The proliferation of video ads has drawn the attention of both researchers and practitioners. Academic research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of factors driving the irritation of users from online video ads and factors possibly reducing their general reluctance towards subscribing to premium video services. This study responds to these calls by analysing the attitudes of Slovak digital natives towards online video advertising. Through quantitative research on a sample of 137 Slovak university students, it examines their knowledge of and preferences regarding various video advertising formats, the use of ad blockers, and the attitudes towards paid services enabling ad-free consumption of video content. The results have revealed that these users prefer skippable ads; however, they would rather be exposed to one longer non-skippable video ad than three shorter skippable ads. Most of them know that the income from ad sales is crucial for maintaining the revenue stream for social media platforms and content publishers. However, at the same time, most of them are using ad blockers and refuse to pay for ad-free content. The results of this study foster a deeper understanding of the attitudes of digital natives towards online video ads and associated matters. Based on the knowledge provided, media and advertisers can tailor their advertising strategies to reflect the preferences and behaviour of this prospective consumer group.

In today’s markets, companies have greatly shifted their focus towards customers as the entities creating the demand for companies’ products and sources of the revenues. The consumers shape and influence the current market trends with their desires and preferences; this requires reassessing and reshaping the offers and communications from companies. Most successful offer adjustments are built on relevant research and formed by consumer insights, often based on patterns of content consumption. The main aim of this article is to identify digital video marketing trends by combining two essential pillars: the data management possibilities related to the digital environment and the evolution of media consumption habits of consumers. The authors examine secondary data which is precisely selected, collected and shaped according to the research design requirements from available Consumer Barometer Research provided and processed by Google. Identification of the six most significant digital video trends to shape digital marketing in the following years can be considered the core of the authors’ research. The results are centred on innovation progress and consumers’ consumption habits and aim to outline possible approaches to digital video production and delivery to target groups for several future years.

]]> Search Engine Optimisation and Google Answer Box https://communicationtoday.sk/search-engine-optimisation-and-google-answer-box/ Thu, 07 Apr 2016 19:45:08 +0000 https://www.communicationtoday.sk/?p=1663 ABSTRACT:
Changing behaviour of users searching online is reflected by search engines that strive to provide best search results to retain the loyalty of their users and increase their market share. Google as the global market leader innovates its services constantly and works on improving the usability of its search results. Introducing Google Answer Boxes has changed the way Google presents information on the one side and the way how users search for the information on the other. For website owners it is vital being included in search results and even more being excerpted in the Google Answer Box. Here, the user can see much more content from the website and thus, the owner can build brand awareness and gain extra conversions as well. In this article, the authors aim at analysing the benefits and dislikes of Google Answer Boxes for three different groups: Users, Google and website owners. The authors analyse one of the Google Answer Box’s form deeper by using a case study. Results of primary research are further presented in the form of pointing out at strengths and weaknesses of this technology in application for different entities/audiences. The main objective of the text is to analyse differences in the frequency of the occurrence of Google Answer Boxes when searching for different phrases beginning with “How to”, “I want to buy” and “I want to do”. The empirical study includes 30 different search phrases in 4 languages, thus analysing 120 search results in total. The authors analyse the status quo regarding the appearance of Google Answer Box in any of its different forms for these types of search queries and identify differences in the frequency of Google Answer Box appearance in the Australian, German, Czech and Slovak version of Google.
