The bane of our existence is the lack of efficient ways for tackling the plethora of recurring tasks in our lives. One of those tasks is surfing the internet. We consume a lot of web content daily, of which a large percentage are images and videos. We’re constantly quickly scrolling through 30-second videos or checking out pictures of cute items we’d like to buy in our free time.
Roommate matching can be a pain—especially during the COVID pandemic when people don't want to meet in person. Matching apps like Flatmates, Roomster, and roommates.com are helpful, and if you're in the roommate-matching space, you know that great video is essential for those seeking roommates. Fortunately, Cloudinary can help.
Modern webpages are more than just plain text. With HTML5, it’s no longer a challenge to play media on webpages. You can—and should—provide your audience with an engaging, high-quality multimedia experience on your site.
Video is one of the best ways for capturing audience attention. Product demonstrations, property tours, tutorials, and keynotes all make great content—provided that they’re readily searchable by your team and visitors alike. Even though tagging and categorization help organize videos and make them easy to find, the labeling process is labor intensive, taking time away from key tasks like creating new videos.
Videos are large media files—in most cases, at least four times larger than images—and are often created for ads, marketing campaigns, and instructional content to convey as much information as possible in a short time. Ensuring that videos do not buffer all the time and that the user’s data is protected from rapid consumption due to heavy page weight must be the modus operandi for all website builders and e-business owners.
The digital economy is driven by highly visual experiences. After all, viewers process images 60,000 times faster than text. Therefore, it’s no surprise that top-notch visual media has been an essential component of a captivating e-commerce experience for years. Nor is it surprising that visual media’s importance only rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, a reality for all retailers, including our client Levi’s.
As pandemic restrictions necessitated, many shopping trips in 2020 took place outside the traditional brick-and-mortar store, or at least void of the physical aisle-browsing experience. Same-day curbside pickup became a safe and convenient alternative, and e-commerce transactions skyrocketed as consumers shopped online. In fact, Digital Commerce 360 estimates that, compared to 2019, e-commerce transactions grew by more than 40% last year.
Today’s tremendous growth in e-commerce means that competition among businesses is heating up. One way to gain a competitive edge is to boost your product’s authenticity by incorporating user-generated content (UGC) into your product pages.

Billions of views on the Internet every day drive one of the biggest industries on the planet: advertising. The sheer size of that market and the competitive nature of vying for consumer attention results in a constant need for innovation. Readers are jaded, and display ads are blind spots.
