Videos featured in emails experience significant spike in views. The front
and center, uncluttered positioning newsletters provide combined with
the likelihood viewers read email when they have time to spare drives
clicks 8x higher than their website page counterparts.
On Allrecipes.com, video ads are proven
to increase purchase intent and brand
awareness. Home cooks who viewed one
advertiser's video were 81% more likely to
purchase the product in the next 6 months!
Tablets’ larger screens are key: More than
half of tablet users watch video on their
tablets monthly; compared to just 20% of
smartphone owners who said the same.**
Dinner!
Viewership for how-to food videos peaks just before dinner – 4 p.m. — as
home cooks are headed to the store and/or into the kitchen to prepare that
night’s meal. PC/laptops still reign #1 for video viewing — likely due to their
larger screen size and larger install base
