New Zealand Is Buying Off Online Video Big Time

Strong video to purchase data has come out of New Zealand. 40% of those who watch or listen to a video / audio review have gone on to actually purchase the product.  This is highly significant marketing information for any marketing executive / business owner to review.

With over 70% of Kiwis watching online video sites such as YouTube, this means over a third of New Zealanders are buying products after watching online video.  The data comes from Nielsen New Zealand’s  Social Media amongst New Zealand Businesses Survey conducted in December 2009, and released in July 2010.

This New Zealand data matches US based research that we have profiled showing how online video drives engagement such as the Interpret Survey and drives actual buying and the Comscore which showed a similar position to New Zealand for US shoppers behaviour around online video.

The message is simple for businesses and advertisers. The internet revolution is now moving into its next phase in the online video advertising kingdom. Avoid at your peril. Interestingly here in New Zealand our online video company SilverlineMedia.TV is approaching it’s 2,500 video. Last year video was being embraced primarily by SME’s as they saw how they could present themselves affordably against their bigger high street competitor. This year we have seen the mid-sized companies and brands finally getting into online video.  The online video advertising and content revolution is clearly on in New Zealand.

Internet Video Viewership 120% year on year growth.

Internet users in the USA watched a staggering 34.2 billion videos in January 2010, up 120% year on year, according to the leading internet metrics research company Comscore.   This worked out at 187 videos per viewer in the month. This is further conclusive proof that internet habits are changing from text to video.  The average video length was 4.1 minutes.  You’ve probably done the maths already but that is 12.7 hours of video consumed per video viewer!

Here in the New Zealand local local internet metrics company Nielsen indicate 70% of kiwis online are viewing video.  At Silverlinemedia.tv, we are at the coal-face having made over 2,000 full motion and virtual videos for our clients since our launch in late 2008.  In Janaury our videos were played 30,647 times on our customer’s sites and the numerous video sites we distribute to from the mighty YouTube to Dailymotion.  This accounted for 39,000 minutes of video informing customers about businesses products and services.

Video is clearly on an incremental projectary as costs of production reduce, return and benefit demonstrate the value and the sheer range of opportunities to use video to persuade and inform customers and partners. Add the smarts and effectiveness of online video advertising and the argument for video as a key part of a businesses business / media strategy are frankly pretty simple.
