Joe, you're absolutely right. Ooyala looks cool, I'll check out the free trial and put it to use. Do you think the data your getting is worth the $500/mo that it costs (standard) or is there a better plan (cheaper) that I should look at? Your sites are outstanding and have tons of video so there's obviously tons of value from the analytics.

Mitch,

Commercial quality video hosts are all over (they weren't 2 years ago when I got ooyala). I REALLY need to find time to look into new hosts.

I need to find a video host that can create a conversion from a video. IMO, once a video is done, the shopper hits a dead end. The video service should serve up some buttons to let the shopper explore more and STAY in the video mode.

Example: What if the shopper LIKES the walk around on the unit he's looking at?
The video plays, the shopper is engaged, the video ends and... DEAD END. The shopper has to search to find a way to communicate with us. Not smart. The video host needs to serve up an button where I can capture contact info OR launch a chat.

If anyone ever sees an example of this PLEASE post it here!

Hey Joe, this is a video tool that we are about to go live with. It's a pretty flexible system, and we hope to integrate it with our internet sales process as well as it being it's own stand-alone page. You'll notice there are areas to send a message or comment on the video for lead generation.

This tool started as a way to just push a video to a lead or prospect via email, and has evolved into a more robust system. It's still under development, and new features are being added all the time. Check it out:

Jason,

Thnx for the input, but its not what am looking for. Look below:

This last frame is the Video DEAD END that I want to fix.

 

[joe.pistell]

I tossed this together fast, compare it to the last frame above... you get the idea.

At the Last Frame, the video service should offer up a menu system to keep the shopper engaged and entertained and bring the serious shopper closer to a personal visit.

Another demonstration of the Video Dead End.

Virtual Service Consultant
Dealer e-Process: Virtual Service Consultant

I watch the video, I am interested, then... VIDEO DEAD END. Where's the video demo of the Virtual Service Consultant?

Videos can easily lead the shopper all the way to a conversion.

Joe, I like it. Alot. I'll pass it along to our developer and see if this is something they can come up with.

WOW!

WOW! YouTube - What would you do for an iPad???

Perhaps Jeff will give somebody an iPad if they get a Dealer Refresh Tattoo.

 

[Ryan Thompson]

Hopefully the dealer paid for the tattoo
