In the ever-evolving streaming world where digital audiences continue to grow and many content providers are entering the OTT landscape, having a robust monetization strategy for your video content is essential. Whether you opt for AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, PVOD, or a blend of these models, you need a tool to quickly create new content packages and monetization plans tailored to your needs and your audience's preferences.
First, let's explore the various monetization models for streaming services:
What is AVOD?
Advertising-based Video on Demand (AVOD) is a model where video content is available online and supported by ads. These ads appear before, during, and after the video. The success of AVOD depends on how well the content aligns with the target audience and the effectiveness of advertisers in reaching their desired viewers.
What does SVOD stand for?
Subscription Video on Demand. This model involves charging subscribers a regular fee to access your video content. Balancing the right subscription price with the cost of obtaining quality content is crucial for SVOD.
Examples of SVOD platforms
SVOD platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu charge a monthly fee for access to a vast library of TV shows, movies, and original content. These services provide an ad-free viewing experience, which is highly appealing to users. They are popular because they offer convenience and flexibility, allowing viewers to access a wide range of content anytime, without needing cable TV or physical media.
What does TVOD stand for?
Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) allows users to pay for individual videos they wish to watch, commonly referred to as pay-per-view. Viewers can typically rent or purchase the videos they want.
What is PVOD?
Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) lets viewers access content earlier than usual, similar to an online movie premiere. It allows users to view new releases from their chosen streaming service.
What does HVOD stand for?
Hybrid Video on Demand (HVOD) combines multiple business models, offering a mix of the above. Understanding your audience is key to choosing the right model to minimize churn and maximize satisfaction.
What is FAST?
Free Ad-Supported Television (FAST) is popular in the US, where viewers are accustomed to an ad-based model. It's less common in the UK and Europe, where viewers prefer paid content to avoid ads. FAST requires integration with ad services, which can be facilitated by integration partners.
