For this post I decided that I would search around the internet to find some marketing-related blogging sites and see what I would find. I came across this blog that taught people how to create popular online videos advertisements (http://marketing-expert.blogspot.com/). I’m sure we have all seen online video advertisement whether its the ad that pops up before you can get to the video you want to watch or a random or a random clip that plays every time you want to go to a different page.
One advice the blog mentioned was to keep the video simple. I have seen way too many advertisements that did not promote themselves very well because they used methods that didn’t really help promoted their product. For example, I have seen this commercial on television and online selling apartments somewhere in Vancouver. Throughout the whole commercial, all I saw were young people in bright clothes dancing and enjoying themselves. At first I thought it was a clothes commercial, but I though it was weird since they didn’t show any signs of their brand or logo, but at the end they showed a picture of the building and that was when I knew what it was trying to sell. In my opinion, it would’ve been better if they showed the inside of the apartment instead or show the special features the apartment comes with. This may sound a little too simple, but at least I would’ve known what they were trying to sell or the message they were trying to convey.
