Minnesota Online Video
Looking into the World of Online Videos for Marketing & Recruiting…and other stuff.

Restaurant Daniel Marketing Video
20 Jan 2010This 2 minute 12 second video lets you meet the chef and owner…and hear a bit of his story. You hear about his dishes and his philosophy. I would say it is successful…the video has been viewed on YouTube over 56,000 times and has been rated 28 times with almost a 5-star rating. I’m sure this video has spread awareness of the restaurant…and like brought in new customers.

Fence Company Marketing Video
18 Jan 2010This is a minute and a half video about a fence company. We see their facilities and trucks, we find out they do commercial and residential fencing…but what is all this stuff about types of fencing? They lost me…”dog ear”, “gothic point”, “cap and trim”? This “technical” jargon is likely beyond people looking for fences for their residence. It is important to keep the intended audience in mind…and not throw them with too many details. Is this really necessary to know about?
Airline Recruiting Video (Testimonial style)
15 Jan 2010This 3 minute 16 second video that talks about how they are a company where the people love it there, have fun, and it is like a family. If I was hearing from an executive or someone in HR, I would not believe it…but this video is comprised of testimonials from 15 employees. Everyone with full names and years there…so it feels very real. This is a great video…makes me want to work for them (too bad they don’t really exist in Minnesota).

Here is another video done by the same online BBQ retailer as the last video. This time Chef Tony reviews and demonstrates Grill Grates. From the video, I could see this would be good for grilled vegetables or fish. This is to give the “perfect sear” look with grill lines.

I love seeing these kinds of videos by businesses. This is a video about how to make an easy and delicious grilled chicken parmesan. This video was produced by an online retailer focusing on BBQs. What a great way to attract visitors to their website…give them recipes they could use on their grill. This “professional chef” also gives other neat tips I am sure to use the next time I grill.
