Susan Boyle Revisited: Another Great Example of Video Marketing

By January 7, 2010April 16th, 2019Video Production

A few weeks ago I wrote about why you’re not Susan Boyle and how the more sure bet to being successful with your online video is to use it for product demonstration vs. trying to be the next great thing Hollywood falls in love with.
Here’s another great example some of you may not have seen by Emanuel Rosen, author of The Anatomy of Buzz.  Blendtec was a fairly successful maker of blenders with a strong website.

 

Not only is the site an almost perfect example of optimizing a site for search engines and converting leads but as part of that they had had discovered the power of product demonstration in boosting sales online.

Not a big leap perhaps because they’re in a business not far removed from Ginsu knives and Sham-wow but what they did next was truly inspired.  And better yet, inspired by their customers.

Originally built on their site ‘Will It Blend?’ has become one of the biggest viewed channels on YouTube.

 

And the bottom-line on the bottom-line?  This great blend of product demo first and entertainment second increased sales 700%.  Nice.
