Video site updates - more -

Since we rolled the revamped video site out, a few other changes worth noting. We have the channels and a great search in place - so on upload, a video can be targeted accordingly. We’re sporting an all new player interface, with a much cleaner menu embedded in the frame itself.

We also added a beta feature to the videos - example here: http://video.designworldonline.com/video/894FD8F2C669DCDE8313BA76FABF8E50

Below the video is a call to action to download a PDF from Misumi. But wait there’s more!

On-click takes the user to a quick form prior to delivery for lead generation. So targeted video, can have associated PDFs, whitepapers and other offers. We can also embed URLs if there is no specific call to action.

New Video Site Launched

We quietly rolled out our new video site last Friday. The new site sports a new search function and channels to help find what your looking for faster. We’re doing a lot of back tagging, so more improvements to come in channels and even more content. The uploading has been coming in at a rapid pace, and one of our service providers experienced a 500% increase in bandwidth over the past month. The serving rates are now in the multiple Peta byte range - many thousand Tera bytes: amazing growth in video across the board. Video ranks in the highest click-through from eNews and the overwhelming recommendation is for suppliers to provide video press releases and other compelling content when possible for maximum exposure.

Content creation is the bottleneck, and we have also launched a program to help suppliers shoot, edit, post and distribute video at a number of trade shows this year - more info can be found here.

New Homepage Video Display

We’re pleased to launch a new ‘EngineeringWatch’ video system on the DW homepage. Video thumbnails now appear with headline and summary and these roll in by date. What this means is uploaded video and video PR has almost a 100% chance of homepage exposure (outside of basic screening): and if it isn’t apparent, a whole new age of Video PR is upon us - why just words and an image when you can submit online video?
