Extensive research shows using contextual videos on a website results in amazing benefits!

ZURICH - June 27, 2018 - PRLog -- The study, commissioned by video intelligence and conducted by Lumen Research, asked 200 consumers to share opinions on commercial and editorial content on entertainment site The Wrap, looking at engagement, dwell time and perception - both with and without contextual content.

The findings show that contextual video content::

- Increases time on page by 33%

- Boosts perception of publisher sites by 9%

- Increases recall of publisher sites by 83%

Perception of publisher sites is improved with contextual video as a result of increased attention and engagement with content across the page. 85% of respondents described the page as engaging when viewed with contextual video (78% without), and 80% thought The Wrap had 'was enjoyable to browse' when viewed with contextual video (69% without).

What does this mean for monetization? It means that your visitors are likely to stay longer on the page, to check out other pages, and to come back for more. It means more ads shown and more revenue.

vi stories allow publishers to embed a native video player that matches the look, style, and design of the website. A natural language machine learning algorithm finds and serves contextual video, based on analysis of the page content. Content is sourced from a vast and continually updating video library, containing clips from outlets like ITN, NowThis, Bonnier and Euronews.

The product aims to create highly engaging experiences for users and increase the time they spend on the site, creating greater monetization opportunities.
