No More Endless Waiting Here for Videos to Download
Still Think You Have to Wait for Streaming Videos to Download? Step Up to Self-Streaming Videos From KOTW
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- Ever gave up trying to watch a video
simply because the downloading process never seemed to end? Well, a new solution
from KOTW puts the fun back into watching streaming videos without waiting
endlessly for any downloading or buffering. With this technology, one only has
to visit a web page for a self-streaming video of any length to start playing
(http://www.homevues.com/videos.cfm).
An advertiser's
dream? KOTW can also track the total minutes that any given video was viewed.
"Each year millions are spent by advertisers without knowing if their message
really reached the intended target. By having the ability to track how many
times a particular online ad was viewed, its effectiveness can be determined.
Furthermore, since you only pay for actual minutes consumed, the advertising
dollar goes further,” said Michael Murray, president of KOTW.
According
to The Online Publishers Association (OPA), a recent study of online video
viewing concluded that consumers have a strong positive reaction to online video
ads. Seventy percent of respondents said they had seen a video advertisement
online, and 44% said they had taken some action as a result of seeing that ad.
Specifically, 34% checked out a Web site, 15% requested information and 14% went
to a store to check out a product. Most significantly, 9% said they made a
purchase as a result of an online video ad.
And then there’s e-mail. KOTW
also makes it possible to include a video of any length in an email message.
"Since our videos are not sent as attachments, people are less concerned about
viruses and more likely to open them. And, since there is nothing to download,
all videos arrive as small text files which do not compromise hard drive storage
space," added Murray. Need to send several videos? No problem. “We can also
include ANY number of videos in a "container" within an email message, offering
the recipient a selection from which to choose. This solution is particularly
beneficial for educational/training purposes,” added Murray.
One of the
companies using KOTW’s video solutions to promote video e-mail is
MediasourceNews (http://mediasourcenews.com/pages/698574/index.htm)
As
internet connection speeds increase, experts feel that consumers are ready to
visit websites for products advertised on television and KOTW appears to be
poised to be a major player in the online video market.
