Feb 17, 2010, Get Well Video Card

When my dad was in his final months of life, he lived in his bed. We wanted to make him feel apart of life again, so we started to make him video greeting cards.

Then we had them email us 5 to 10 pictures of themselves and we made him a greeting card with the pictures on the screen and the message behind them. He watched this video over and over again...(To read more click link below)

Feb 12, 2010, Why Are Commercials Remembered? Blog Series 1

This week I was doing some research for our new E-Book “Finding your business stories-How to create powerful marketing messages on video” and I put out the following question to our network: What classic TV commercial sticks in your mind long after you have watched it?

I received a number of replies. What stood out in my mind from the replies is that commercials have a powerful influence in people’s memories. Like special news events, or classic television shows, commercials are associated with different aspects of our lives. (To read more please click on link below)

Jan 5, 2010, Marketing Videos-Learning from the Pros

Continuing on the theme from our last blog on how to create your business stories on video, this blog will again explore some of the past television commercials, and how they used their marketing message to make their products stand out in peoples minds.
