Videopinions and Tryology from ExpoTV

As ecommerce is gaining momentum  faster than ever, over 70% of estimated US retailers are integrating video on their sites.  In a study by emarketer on types of videos US online shoppers use as an information source back in May 2011 reveals that 'user generated product reviews by a friend/acquaintances or an expert in the social network is a good way to leverage the trust with each other'.  In my other blog post I have mentioned how tryvertising is gaining significance for online marketers for inexpensive product sampling. Today am going to write about the advantages of video opinion and tryology together with ExpoTV as an example. ExpoTV banks on three major elements of product reviews namely videopinion reviews, how-to-buy videos and product demonstrations.
ExpoTV is an online video opinion and tryology company that firmly believes that video product reviews convert more sales and revenues when compared to any other media. While engaging the community through social networks, ExpoTV affirms that only video delivers the product demo and an emotional connection is established with the audience wherein text reviews will not succeed in conversion rates because a video is worth a thousand reviews.  In the 'programs' section, ExpoTV allows the community to share honest opinions about the products in five different ways. 

• Review day to products used and upload the videos and give the opinion good or bad
• Review featured products through special invitations
• Get free products to sample and review before even they hit the stores and reviews
• Review top selling products that is in the most wanted criteria every month
• Take market research surveys and share opinion

There is a point system to all types of opinions and surveys plus lots of prizes for the best video opinions for the participants also. ExpoTV is really big for the next generation digital marketing and no doubt every marketer should plan to get his product reviewed in the next campaign for higher conversions.

eZine subscribers will glimpse the first line of your ad and it is very critical to turn the focus by presenting the No.1 advantage of your product or service.

Employ a Call-to-action Phrase:

Lead them what to do next and make them click through your ad to create a state of urgency. For e.g. 'This Offer closes this weekend and will not be available at the same price'.

After deciding to launch an eZine campaign start exploring which eZine directory to advertise your products.

M-Sites And Apps To Combat In Marketing Internet Business

As compared to computers or emails,  there is a speedy increase in usage of internet through smart phones as consumers will look ahead for smooth navigation, interaction and superior user experience in 2012.   Day after day, the importance to optimize the existing websites for mobile compatibility is gaining more attention. On the other side mobile apps are getting admired and this will be the trend in the approaching year which would make the tech giants Google and Apple go head-to-head in order to dictate the blooming m-commerce market. This illustration will give you an insight into most popular app types, download statistics and usage (Click image to enlarge).
Timing will forfeit an extremely crucial role  for retailers who are now using various channel operations either apps for smart phones or m-sites for engaging the consumers.   The following m-sites will gather momentum for affiliate marketers in the coming months due to m-commerce spurring growth based on consumer engagement with smart phones.

1. Apps

2. App Directories

3. Mobile Web Directories

4. Mobile Videos

5. Mobile Casino Games

6. Mobile Payment Services

7. Location Targeted Ads

8. Click to Call/Pay Per Call

According to a study by e-consultancy, online marketers and retailers have to wake up at this point to leverage this extraordinary potential as apps and m-sites fall short to reach massive proportion of phone owners whereas the SMS open rates are roughly 90% and convert at a figure i.e. 400% higher than email marketing. No doubt success in real time conversion of consumer visits apart from viral traffic to normal website would have a great impact only if mobile site and apps are ready for marketing internet business to achieve the targets and maximum profits.

New Trends in Digital Media and Paid-for-Apps for 2012

As we debate which media viz. online, mobile, tablet and social media will queue in the priority list in 2012 for marketing internet business, here is the latest findings from an event organized by World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) at Hong Kong. Simon Shepherdson from Aspermont is of the view that today large numbers of people are accessing websites via mobile than ever before. I agree and if you are marketing internet business take this seriously because mobile-optimized sites will be more preferred by the consumer as the visitor won't stick around for much time. As the quantity of time visitors spend on a website plays a major factor rather than unique visits for advertisers, subsequently it will have an effect both engaging the consumer and the revenues for non-mobile-optimized sites. So what is the trend for mobile apps revenue? In paid-for-apps, pricing plays a crucial role and the best way is to analyze is user feedback data and forums to maximize the mobile apps revenue.  Mariam Mathew of Manorma Online in India says that readers are willing to pay for apps something people missed on the world-wide-web provided the pricing is more affordable. As far as the print media is concerned, the competition has just begun while analyzing the performance of Aftonbladet.  Anders Berglund feels that this news site attracts nearly half of the Swedish internet population as this site acquires half of its advertising revenues from digital media than the print media. This is an incredible example for those marketing internet business who believe that consumer won't pay for news online is not correct.  Similar medias can maximize the revenues from their news sites provided the news content is 'fast live' with social and interactive persona, multifaceted content all the way through multimedia and interactivity. No doubt these trends are set to continue  for marketing internet business in digital and paid-for-apps on the higher side in the year 2012.
