As we’re slowly entering a new decade, many marketers can’t help but wonder what the next ten years will bring to the digital advertising world. Of course, it’s close to impossible to predict new trends in any field. However, one thing is certain — there is a marketing medium that will surely dominate this landscape for years to come. And its name is online video.
It might seem audacious of us to make this prediction, but we have statistics to back our claims up. In fact, online videos used to account for 75% of all internet traffic. However, by 2022, this figure will increase to 82%. And this number doesn’t look far-fetched at all. Just visit any major social media platform, like Facebook or Instagram. What do you see? Well, text posts have been largely replaced with video content. Even the rise of TikTok indicates that millennials want one thing: videos.
Indeed, even Google points out that 6 out of 10 people are more prone to watch online video than television. So, it’s clear that investing in this medium would be a wise business decision. Obviously, you’ll encounter a fierce competition because more brands are starting to rely on videos to present their products or services. But this shouldn’t discourage you. A compelling and engaging content can get you a long way in this business.
Therefore, if you’re looking to launch your video marketing campaign, the first step is to find a reliable video platform. As you probably know by now, there’s a vast number of them to choose from and it’s not easy to reach your decision. That’s why we’re here to help you!
The current trends have increased the need for simple and high-quality monetization solutions. So, if you’re contemplating JW Player as your go-to video platform, we have another solution in store for you: Brid.TV.
So let’s see why Brid.TV is a good JW alternative.
Pricing
In these challenging times, brands need to make more informed choices so as to prevent any unnecessary spendings. So, it’s a fact that we all want to get the same quality product for less money. This helps marketers cut back on their spendings while maintaining the same level of quality that will attract their target audience.
How do Brid.TV and JW Player compare when it comes to pricing? Let’s take a look below!
Plans
JW Player offers three plans, while Brid.TV prepared four subscription packages for our clients. All plans come with different features depending on your needs. If you’re an up-and-coming marketer, you might want to try out free plans made available by JW Player and Brid.TV. Just don’t be hasty — yes, they’re both free, but one of them has better benefits than the other!
To be specific, Brid.TV’s free plan comes with 100,000 content plays and 50,000 ad plays, while JW Player’s counterpart only has 5,000 content plays and, get this, ads are prohibited on their free plan.
On the other hand, if you want to commit and get access to a wide range of features, then you can select Starter (JW Player) or Essential (Brid.TV) plan. The former is $10 a month while the latter costs $24.99 a month. Trust us, we’re not biased when we say that we’d select our Basic plan if we were you. Hear us out on this.
Brid.TV’s Essential plan offers more content plays than JW Player’s counterpart. That’s right — while our competitor gives a mere 50,000 content plays, we’ve decided that content creators and marketers are better off with 150,000 plays! Not only this, but also our ad calls amount to 50,000 here, while with JW Player you won’t even have access to ad calls.
True, maybe our Essential plan is a bit more expensive than that of JW, but at least you can earn and monetize with it. JW won’t offer this opportunity to you. And, at the end of the day, you want to monetize your videos, don’t you?
Contract
Before we move on to the technical sides, it would be remiss of us not to mention another reason why you should forgo JW Player and go with Brid.TV. And that reason lies in the contract itself.
Namely, JW Player requires brands to pay the license for the entire first year. You won’t be able to terminate your collaboration after a few months because, well, you’ve already paid for the whole year!
Unlike them, we at Brid.TV are aware that transparency is everything, so we won’t make you pay for the entire year. Quite the contrary — you can renew your license each month and upgrade your plan as you see fit.
