OFFLINE MARKETING

I might try to get some local biz's to have me make promo vids for them with the specific idea of making them be seen on mobile phones.

Is there an easy / best way to do this -- any training on this?

Need to know if that angle has been successful (for selling), and how to do it, technically.

Thanks.

For mobile traffic to videos, I really think the key is for the business to get involved and to use a QR code everywhere they can think of, including their front door.

I bought 2 wso's THINKING they were about this topic. Turns out both were from the same seller + neither were really about this topic. So... wanting to see what other advice there is out there on this topic.

Would a QR code directly to the YT link be good for viewing on a phone? Are there better/smoother/ more professional ways to have the vid shown on a phone (technically)?

Also, sales point-wise, is this something for which there is demand?

If I were to do this, I'd setup a page with the video and drive Adwords PPC traffic to it, targeting only mobile phones.

You know the concept where small businesses buy yellow page ads just because a brand (yellow page) is a brand and they want to see their business associated with that brand?

Well... guess what a video is? The best form of branding out there and you don't have to drive traffic or anything to get a sale.

Here's a story about someone who sold videos to local businesses, the inital thread was deleted but you can still see pieces of his strategy.

Technically, I wouldn't think making a video to be shown on a mobile phone would be all that different from making any other kind of video. Personally, I would make the text and graphics somewhat larger than normal to compensate for the small screen size, but that's just me!

Most mobile phones play videos in MP4 format, which is a standard output from most NLE systems. If you want to optimize for a specific type of 'phone (screen size, bitrate etc.) I recommend Aiseesoft Total Media Converter. I got mine as a Giveaway of the Day a while back, but if you do a search in Google you should be able to find a copy for sale somewhere.

Thanks
