To simply put, it happens when your audience becomes bored of your ad and they are no longer engaging with it. You can realize it by decreasing CTR, impression rate or engagement of your followers. To fight this, you can simply update your visuals: just a change in the background color can be highly effective as well! Customizing your ads real-time can be handy to fight fatigue, and creating multiple visuals and A\/B testing can create a sense of \u2018new\u2019 and \u2018fresh\u2019 to your audience. Facebook\u2019s dynamic ads can be a lifesaver as well in this situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/ad-fatigue\"><span>Find out more about ad fatigue in HubSpot\u2019s article.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_color=&#8221;#d8d8d8&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;4.

There\u2019s no need to worry, your videos are not going to disappear, but eCommerce features might pop up on the platform. According to research, Youtube, and watching videos in general (e.g.: reviews, unboxing), is an important step in the buyer\u2019s funnel \u2013 55% of customers watch videos before making a decision, but up until now, they had to leave the site to actually complete the purchase. Google is testing ways to put different \u2018product tags\u2019 in the videos, so that the creators can tag the product they are talking about, and customers can buy that product instantly, without ever leaving the site. According to us, it\u2019s something similar that Facebook did with Instagram Shopping. However, there\u2019s no information about the financial aspects of the whole idea: will Google have any profit from it, or just the benefit of more information about users? Will Youtubers have incentives, a specific percentage of the product price? If so, then this would compromise their authenticity, but if not, how will they be motivated to tag the products? While we\u2019re waiting for more information, we have to give kudos for Google trying to shorten the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/google-reportedly-turning-youtube-into-a-shopping-site\/383865\/#close\"><span>Read more about Youtube\u2019s upcoming shopping feature.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_color=&#8221;#d8d8d8&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;5.

In Moz\u2019s research, they have examined over 2 million desktop searches in Google and they were able to extract 250 thousand video results. According to their findings, in the top 3 position available for video results (out of further 10, that can be accessed with an arrow button) 94.2% of them were videos uploaded to Youtube, the further ~6% is split between sites like Khan Academy, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Twitter, to mention a few \u2013 and analyzing data shows that this isn\u2019t a temporary trend. We\u2019re not going to go into details how fair this situation is, since it\u2019s a fact that Youtube has the \u2018lion\u2019s share\u2019 of video content (but still, 94% seems like a pretty big portion for the lion) we have to note that Google\u2019s ranking might include video speed \u2013 and since Google can access Youtube videos at a lightning fast speed (friendly reminder: Youtube is owned by the search engine giant), there\u2019s no way to beat that. Conclusion: when it comes to video content, it\u2019s better for your business to upload it to Youtube (but of course you can upload it to multiple sites as well, boosting reach).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/youtube-dominates-google-video-results-in-2020?\"><span>Click here to read more about Moz\u2019s research on Google\u2019s video ranking.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_color=&#8221;#d8d8d8&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;7.

Ecommerce is mainly focusing on driving traffic to your website, where the transaction happens. In social commerce, retailers use different social media platforms that let the customers shop without ever leaving the application \u2013 these applications include Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. This type of commerce is mainly popular among the younger generation, usual ages between 18-34. A general truth might be that lower-priced items sell better- with orders averaging around $79 \u2013 this might be because of the fact that purchases happening on social media are usually impulse purchases, since it\u2019s not the place where you go with definite buying intentions (yet?). Additional tip is to use chatbots \u2013 it\u2019s a great replacement for IRL customer service experience, for example it helps your customer stay focused on the purchase. You don\u2019t need to worry, it\u2019s really easy \u2013 and highly recommended! \u2013 to integrate your social commerce into your ecommerce platforms.
