Here’s a fact! While various industries witnessed ups and downs in 2021, the Over the Top (OTT) industry picked up the pace. This enormous shift to OTT players and VOD giants can be attributed to the constantly evolving consumer behavior and emotional preferences.
Today, when streaming networks and OTT platforms grab additional eyeballs every day, brands must gauge audience liking and derive insights for delivering overall superlative customer experiences. With expectations from subscribers changing drastically, untapped viewers’ emotions and cognitive data holds the key to delivering emotionally resonating content and maintaining maximum viewership.
However, OTT brands face challenges aplenty in gaining subscribers and retaining viewers.
Content Discovery
Statistics from a Livestream study reveal that OTT users tend to give up on a platform if it takes them more than 90 seconds to find a TV series, movie, or any other piece of content. Hence, it becomes imperative that OTT players enhance their content discovery functionality.
Quality Content Creation
Gone are the days when viewers hounded one platform to watch good content. Today, when there’s no dearth of gripping content and OTT providers are witnessing a sudden surge in viewership, it’s crucial to sustain customer loyalty.
Viewer Retention
With numerous OTT players jostling for space, retaining viewer base is a massive challenge. Besides, delivering binge-worthy, attention-grabbing content, decoding viewers’ browsing patterns and behavioral preferences are crucial to reduce drop-offs and churn rates.
And that’s where Emotion AI can help augment viewers’ experience on an OTT platform. Here’s how.
