Perspective from an 8-year Production expert"},"content":{"rendered":"

Advertising video<\/strong> is becoming the ultimate weapon in the modern Digital Marketing race. However, there is a painful paradox that many SME business owners face today. That is, you spend tens or even hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong to produce a stunning, cinematic film.<\/p>

Yet, the result is a big fat 0 in revenue. Views may be high, compliments may be plentiful, but orders are few and far between. Why is there such a contradiction? Is beauty truly the deciding factor in purchasing behavior?<\/p>

According to 2024 video trends report<\/a><\/strong>, users are becoming increasingly selective about purely advertising content. They scroll through hundreds of pieces of content every day and only stop at what truly provides value or evokes strong emotions.<\/p>

1. Advertising Videos Focus Too Much on Technique and Forget Customer \u201cInsights\u201d<\/h2>

\"Advertising<\/p>

The most common mistake made by Production Houses and businesses is becoming overly obsessed with filming and editing techniques. We are often drawn into choosing 8K cameras, Hollywood-standard lighting, or spectacular transition effects. However, customers do not buy because your video is sharp; they buy because you solve their pain points.<\/p>

The trap of perfection in advertising videos<\/h3>

One advertising video<\/strong> Over-polishing can sometimes create distance from viewers. In the era of TikTok and Reels, authenticity is on the rise. Videos that are too glossy can make users feel \u201cthis is an advertisement\u201d and immediately scroll past out of reflex.<\/p>

Experts at DPS.MEDIA often advise clients: \u201cDon't try to make a cinematic film to sell homemade mixed cream.\u201d Contextual relevance is far more important than technical quality. A video shot on a phone but hitting the right psychology can generate 10 times the revenue of a billion-dong TVC that is hollow and clich\u00e9d.<\/p>

Today's customers are smarter than we think. They can tell what is staged and what is a genuine experience. When technique overshadows content, the sales message becomes blurred. Viewers only remember \u201cwhat a beautiful video\u201d but do not remember what you sell.<\/p>

Lack of understanding of pain points<\/h3>

Every advertising video<\/strong> successful one must begin with a sharp Insight. If you do not hit the customer's \u201citchy spot\u201d, all visual efforts are meaningless. Insight is not what you think; it is what customers truly feel.<\/p>

For example, instead of filming an impressive production factory (something customers care little about), show a busy mother happily solving her child's meal in 5 minutes thanks to your product. That is what actually sells.<\/p>

DPS.MEDIA's research across 500 campaigns shows that videos focused on practical solutions have a conversion rate 40% higher than videos focused on showcasing features. Speak your customers' language, not the language of filmmakers.<\/p>

Advice for businesses<\/h3>

Start the production process advertising video<\/strong> by researching the market, not by choosing a camera. Ask: \u201cWhat problem are my customers facing?\u201d before asking \u201cIs this camera angle beautiful?\u201d. This shift in mindset can save you billions of dong in wasted costs.<\/p>

2. Advertising Video Scripts Lack a \u201cHook\u201d to Retain Viewers in the First 3 Seconds<\/h2>

\"\"<\/p>

In the world of Digital Marketing, we live in the attention economy. You have less than 3 seconds to convince viewers not to scroll away. If your advertising video<\/strong> opens with a spinning company logo or a long, drawn-out flycam sequence, you have already failed at the starting line.<\/p>

The life-or-death 3-second rule<\/h3>

Why are the first 3 seconds so important? Because users' scrolling behavior is unconscious. Their brains are programmed to filter out boring or overly promotional content. An advertising video<\/strong> effective one must deliver an immediate psychological blow.<\/p>

A Hook (anchor point) can be a shocking question, a strange image, or a bold statement. The goal is to interrupt the viewer's train of thought (Pattern Interrupt). If you cannot do this, no matter how good the content that follows is, nobody will watch it.<\/p>

According to statistics from social media platforms, 65% of viewers will leave if the first 3 seconds are not engaging. This telling figure forces advertisers to change traditional storytelling methods.<\/p>
