Could Internet Marketing Companies Benefit From Twitter's Promoted Video?

By Robbie Sutter


If Internet marketing companies desire to reach as many people as possible, certain methods must be taken into account. The implementation of video is one of the most crucial, seeing as how the content there is typically easier to digest in the long term. With this in mind, it's important to note that a program named "Promoted Video" has been put into effect by Twitter. For those who may not know what this entails, there are a number of specifics which businesses should focus on.

TechCrunch posted an article that spoke about Promoted Video, which was brought to the forefront courtesy of Twitter. It can be used, by various companies, in order to help their own video content become shared out. This was done through Twitter's own network, which is a point that should draw the attention of many Internet marketing companies. Promising tools along the lines of these should have the focus of various companies, fishbat included, and others may agree.

One can make the argument that this is similar to Twitter's Amplify program but what that service has done is focus on bigger companies we all recognize, from American Express to the NFL. Promoted Video, from what I have seen, is a much broader endeavor that seems to focus on a greater number of companies. This doesn't necessarily mean that bigger companies are the only ones that can use Promoted Video. To put it simply, possibilities are more open.

The idea of Cost Per View - CPV, for short - was brought up in the article as well. To put it into simplest terms, CPV entails that advertisers will only pay up when users click on the videos marketed on Twitter's network. I believe that, if the system is accurate and everything goes according to plan, this is a pretty fair plan and one that should drive attention in the long term. Seeing as how Promoted Video hinges on success, this only helps to make the program that much more attractive for long term use.

One has to wonder if Promoted Video be able to prove itself over the course of time. Even though it's very likely that it can help matters on a short term basis, it's clear that many will be curious as to how it can operate in the long term. Nonetheless, I see potential in Promoted Video and, if successful, it could be yet another tool companies can take advantage of. It's just a matter of assessing what its value is and how easy it can prove to be, for any company, to use.
