Cost-Per-View (CPV), is a method of charging for video advertisements based on the number of views or interactions an ad receives. CPV advertising opportunities provide a platform for ecommerce merchants to connect with their relevant audience, making them a worthwhile consideration for brands looking to expand awareness.

CPV stands for "Cost Per View" or "Cost Per Video View." It is a digital advertising metric used in online marketing campaigns, particularly in the context of video advertising. CPV represents the cost an advertiser pays for each view or engagement with a video ad.

Here's how CPV works:

Video Ad Display: When an online user encounters a video ad, either as an in-stream ad (played before, during, or after the main video content) or as an out-stream ad (played within content such as articles or social media feeds), it is counted as a "view."

Cost Calculation: The advertiser is charged a predetermined cost each time a user views a significant portion of the video ad, typically measured by factors like the percentage of the video watched or the duration of the view.

View Definition: The definition of what constitutes a "view" can vary depending on the advertising platform and the specific campaign settings. Common criteria include watching a certain percentage of the video (e.g., 30 seconds out of a 60-second video) or engaging with the video (e.g., clicking the video to play it).

CPV is commonly used in video advertising campaigns, especially on platforms like YouTube and social media sites, to track and optimize the cost-effectiveness of video ads. Advertisers can use CPV metrics to assess how much they are spending to reach their target audience and determine the return on investment (ROI) for their video advertising efforts. It helps advertisers evaluate the cost efficiency of their video content and adjust their campaigns based on user engagement and video views.
