That's right when my lock is broken I have all the time in the world to sit down and watch a video. Get a clue. True there are headings that will benefit, but those that are heavy emergency use are not it.

Is it just online video, or will mobile and VOD serve as cost-effective, scalable, measurable, and demonstrably justifiable distribution channels for local advertising videos? Will Project Canoe have room to paddle in this space?

I'll guess that the answer contains an "It depends ...", so what are the dependencies?

A lock can stick and still work, and a broken lock isn't an emergency unless you live in the ghetto. A 30 second video spot, especially if it's the only one, is going to make that business stand out from the crowd and predispose customers to choosing it.

Who doesn't have 30 seconds? And do you know what's a REAL waste of time? Making a bunch of phone calls, sitting on hold, trying to get enough information to make a decision about which business to patronize.

I haven't opened a phone book in years, but I am often frustrated that online searches just give me names, addresses and phone numbers, and maybe a map link. A little 30 second spot would give me at least some basis for comparison shopping. Also, Google inserts thumbnails of video in the search results, and a picture in a sea of text is going to always get clicks.

As a video producer and marketer, I agree that this could be fertile territory. However, as far as I know, YellowPages and SuperPages have exclusive production agreements with Turn Here.

Most of the other opportunities for local advertisers are with services like Jivox and Merchant Circle. They focus more on creating ads using stock video footage and photos, with less emphasis on businesses contributing their own videos.

The best option looks like YouTube ads because they give advertisers the ability to host as well as serve ads (in stream lower thirds type and banner-style) on targeted channels. And no one can dispute that YouTube has the largest video network. Not sure yet, however, how well they would be able to target local eyeballs for local business video ads.

There is a company out there called Spotzer Media that makes the video ads enjoyable to watch. They are headquartered in Amsterdam and the videos have that european feel; they have humor and they don't hit you over the head. They also do what they call local promotional video ads which are better than the Major TV commercials we see hear. I understand they have a New York office and have already landed several large accounts.

I agree totally with the article, especially in the tourism market. Imagine taking a trip and being able to see what businesses are there before you go.
Production companies now have so many places to showcase their productions, that is nothing but good for everyone. I think the style of spots that will be produced might be something more informational rather than arty. I think people will still want hard info rather than some splashy ad.

You're right Daisy, this is the next big gold rush! I'm still trying to figure out the revenue model but that's what I'm doing with this project.

Right now I'm still in the experiment stage. I think there are so many ways to use these, online, mobile, in-store for sure yellow pages online like you said.

My approach has been to make it documentary style. But you could do anything besides the same old 30 second spot. You really see a place has heart and what they are all about. Not sure if this works for "Long John Silvers" but I think it can work for locals.

Anyway, I hope nobody else read this story and gets any ideas.

this is in elle

Take a shoulder-chain coupling, such as Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Beverly Clutch Unique Handbags, for example, that women do not care if she is ready for the big picture and is very impulsive in nature. Assuming women with bags could be a way for men to be saying the potential of women who are interested in factors, this could be open to having a very interesting conversation. The fact that women bear most of the points in the bag, the preventive approach that women need to ensure that they are ready for a fashion disaster. In addition, in the case of a woman with a bag that are not flexible enough, it would mean that they are safe, he could handle the situation without substance, one way or another is.
