What types of advertising formats are there in YouTube Ads?
Skippable In-Stream Video Ads
This type of ad can appear at the beginning or during a video, with no time limit, and viewers can skip it after 5 seconds. This ad format is directly supported on YouTube and Google Video Partner platforms. If you choose to pay on a CPV (cost per view) basis, you’ll pay YouTube every time a user views your ad for at least 30 seconds (or less if your video is under 30 seconds). For CPM (cost per mile), CPA (cost per acquisition), and conversion maximization, costs are based on the number of impressions.
Non-Skippable In-Stream Video Ads
With this ad format, the duration is limited to around 15-20 seconds, and viewers cannot skip the ad. Your ad can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a video, and it is supported on YouTube and Google Video Partner platforms. This type of ad can boost brand recognition, but it requires compelling content to leave a positive impression on viewers. Fox Marketer is confident in providing advertising services that meet these requirements. For Non-Skippable In-Stream ads, YouTube charges on a CPM basis, and you pay per ad impression.
In-Feed Video Ads
Typically shown in the suggested videos section when viewers use the search bar. In-Feed videos display only a thumbnail and a short description; when clicked, the video can be played on the YouTube watch page or homepage. The size of the thumbnail may vary based on the display area, and the video is not limited in duration like non-skippable videos. To attract clicks, your thumbnail and description must be visually appealing – something the creative team at Fox Marketer can guarantee.
Bumper Ads
Buffer ads can appear at any time during video playback and are limited to a duration of 6 seconds. These videos are often used to convey a quick message or make an impression on customers. Similar to non-skippable videos, Bumper Ads are charged on a CPM basis. It’s crucial to carefully consider the video content to avoid causing viewers any annoyance.
In the world of YouTube Ads, understanding these various formats allows you to tailor your advertising strategy for maximum impact.
Outstream Ads
Unlike in-stream advertising services, outstream ads are designed to extend your advertising reach on mobile devices and are not supported on TV/desktop. Outstream Ads are placed to appear on websites and apps within the GVP system, excluding YouTube. This ad format is typically brief, and you only pay when the ad is viewed two or more times.
Masthead Ads
Masthead Ads represent a premium and high-cost service, as your ad will appear directly on the YouTube homepage. Masthead Ads allow for the placement of one brand’s ad on the YouTube homepage in a specific country and remain visible for 24 hours. Large brands often opt for Masthead Ads when launching new products or running important sales events.
