Video Previews = Increase in Sales?

[MiamiB]

I suggested over a year ago that we have a separate 2257 section to this board and I was shot down. I was told that no one knows what is going to happen or what it means so why bother...well it is something that the government can use to FUCK you so why no talk about it even it is rumor?

We discuss possible future trends etc but no one wants to think about governmental impact until the shit hits the fan. Why not? Not fun to discuss for sure but fucking important.

Hello...


Well, now here it is again. Like it ever went away.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, I just get annoyed when people offer "it seems to me" advice in place of the actual law, particularly when there's jail time involved.

Back on topic... as long as you don't give too much away in your tour (or galleries you give to affiliates), video previews in your tour should do nothing but enhance sales, really gives the surfer a chance to see what you're offering.

the bottom line - test your tour both ways and see what makes the most sales for you. i have often seen sales increase with trailers, but not always.

btw, i strongly believe any video samples should be the same format as the member area videos since that is a true sample of what you have to offer.

We used to put up a preview for each video that we added each week. We stopped doing that and saw no decrease in sales but a substantial decrease in bandwith usage. We pretty much tagged the same folks that came week after week to watch the previews, snag them and then never join. As long as you offer previews that are a good indication of the scope of your material then I believe it works just fine. We are updating for our members and customers, not for the 'i bet I can get off to this in less than 40 seconds' gang.
