Are you preparing for video?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Techcrunch recently wrote an article about making money using online video. I found the following snippet of particular interest:

Video will be Everywhere: on all Websites

Video on the Web is no longer just about entertainment.  It is also about marketing, instruction, and conveying information of all kinds.

  • Content bellwether Wikipedia announced it will be rolling out videos soon enough.
  • e-Commerce leader Zappos encourages users to submit their video experiences whichincrease sales 6% to 30%.  In 2010, it will create 50,000 videos.
  • It won’t be long before organizations feature their accountants, lawyers, management, VCs in videos too.

It’s important to realize that video is becoming a mission critical component of websites, not just an option. Video’s SEO, branding, and conversion values are too high to ignore. What are you waiting for? Time to add video to your site!

Video is a must-have feature for 2010

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

E-commerce companies are busy with Christmas this time of year. So busy that they might forget to think about features their site needs in 2010. Retailers should be adopting product videos into their overall e-commerce strategy. Check out this Forrester report excerpt that talks about retailers adoption of online video:

Sixty-eight percent of the top 50 Internet retailers use video content on their Web sites, compared with 18% in 2008. Online retailers are committed to making product videos central to their merchandising and marketing strategies because of the positive return on investment (ROI) that this visual feature generates. While only 16% of online buyers watch product videos on retailer Web sites, 64% of those consumers who do have found these videos to be very useful. Retailers should focus on understanding drivers of consumer usage and find appropriate contextual uses for product videos by integrating them into the overall eCommerce experience.
