The Impact of Different Types of Short Video-Linked Advertisements on Consumer Avoidance Behavior: A Case Study of Douyin Advertisements

Abstract

With the rapid growth of the Internet, short videos have become increasingly significant in the advertising industry. Advertising linked to short videos has progressively emerged as a primary marketing strategy. However, certain categories of customers cannot be accurately targeted with advertisements, leading to dissatisfaction among some viewers of short videos. Consequently, ads associated with videos often result in consumer avoidance behavior. This article investigates and analyzes the impact of different types of short video-linked advertisements on consumer avoidance behavior, drawing on a variety of previous studies. The findings highlight the demographic traits and behaviors of consumers who tend to avoid product-related marketing in short videos. In an effort to address this issue, the study also provides comprehensive solutions and strategies to mitigate consumer avoidance and improve the effectiveness of short video advertisements. Moreover, the growth of online shopping has influenced consumer behavior and preferences, further emphasizing the need for effective advertisement strategies. By understanding the factors that contribute to ad avoidance and tailoring advertisements to meet consumer needs better, advertisers can enhance viewer satisfaction and engagement. This research contributes to the broader understanding of advertising dynamics in the digital age and offers practical insights for marketers aiming to optimize their short video advertising campaigns.
