Title: Funny videos
Post by: gaz1984mcc on January 25, 2013, 12:03:07 pm
Hi everyone just wanted some feed back from cleanitup members as to whether or not
you think that having funny promo videos is suitable for carpet cleaning websites.
I made a couple yesterday and have posted one on my Facebook page this morning I've managed to get 1 like so far lol
so not a rip roaring success. But i was thinking about putting one on my website
maybe as a bit of an ice breaker and to take away from all the usual serious stuff.
I've already got quite a few videos of me cleaning carpets so wanted to try something a little different.

what do you think guys and girls?

too stupid? customers might think no way am i going to use them? crap?

Do you think it's suitable to be put on my website for potential customers to see.
or do you think it might be a step too far.

I like it, but I think its probably more suited to facebook page/youtube (make sure you put a link on there).

Thumbs up from me... there's nothing wrong with letting a bit of your character show through, especially on facebook.

Great job,

Like somebody else said no harm in showing some personality.
Shows u don't take yourself too seriously.
Ice breaker I would agree, and I would personally think if I was a punter that this guys a normal guy with a sense of humour and a lot of people like that.

So I would say go for it and throw it up. Can't u always take it down if u feel it ain't working.

Bren.

Well done for having a go and having the balls to post it on the forum...

The best way to look at this is from the punters perspective... Think about the type of people you want to attract, if you make a video which is very slick and professional people are more likely to take what you do more seriously.

As it stands the video would probably appeal to a certain type of punter not everyone if that makes sense.

i think it wasa bit quick & rushed, I wiould have had each part twice as long so people can see the photos .

I think the BOOM is good but i would have used a different word  like KEERPOWW!!! but writtten like you used to see in the old batman film when bat man & robin hit the bad guys

(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1359208599_batman.jpg)

 it would apeal to an older gerneration who remembered the old batman series

If you saw this type of video on a plumbers site would it encourage you to use his/her services, or a builder, electrician, painter and decorator.

personally i can't make my mind up whether it will hinder or help you.  i enjoyed the video but if i wasn't a carpet cleaner myself then i'm not sure this would help me make a decision on your services or not.

sorry for sitting on the fence but i've given some food for thought.
on a plus side, its not done stanley steemer any harm in the good old U.S of A.
