Is it Possible to Design a Salespage Where the Salesletter loads once the user watches the video?

[yourreviewer]

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to have a webpage design where at first only a video is displayed and once the user has completed watching the video, the rest of the salespage loads up.

Thanks,
Dan

Greetings Dan,

Sure, as long as you're hosting the video you could use a simple post play URL re-direct.

Yes, but you'd have to host the video on your own server, which could go through a lot of bandwidth.

Camtasia will let you do this. Produce the video as a flash file embedded in HTML. In the Flash options setting, click the Controls tab and the Jump to radio button. Then enter your web page's URL. I'm sure the procedure varies from version to version of Camtasia, but that's the general idea.

Thanks Clyde, I was wondering if you can have the sales letter load up on the samepage instead of a redirect to another page. Does that make sense? And are there any other options instead of hosting the video on my own site? I have subscribed for Amazon S3 service, would that help?

Spank, do you know any service or are there any videos that can walk me through the way I need to do it?

It's a mashup but here it goes

This is the javascript function Time is in miliseconds

setTimeout ( "swapVideo", 30000 ) ;

Then read up on content swaps and make the swap a function called by the settimeout.

Understand the principles

This is the javascript to do the swapouts.

Now you need to find someone to put the 2 together. I've built hundreds of div swaps with this combo and a few other event based ones. It's not that much code and if your comfortable with html and "logic" you will be fine.

is there a particular reason why the content has to load into the same page as the video?

Fantastic info, Spank! Thanks!

What if the video is not Flash? i.e., an embeddable Youtube video? In that case, the timer wont fire, what would you do? I guess the user can be provided a button below the video that says, click here if you are ready to go to the next page. That way, user will be in control, even if he or she want to quickly go to your sales page rather than sitting through the full video to complete.

I am just testing different salespage models. At this moment, though I would like to have an order button creep up once the video is completed.
