The video depicts a Killer Whale landing on a man in a kayak.

Andrea, my brother in law in Italy, sent me the video by email. I uploaded it to YouTube immediately and then blogged about it. Now, it’s making me think, once again, how awesome YouTube is as a free channel to millions of customers.

Some ideas for 2007:

  • Demonstration videos showing how cool our products are
  • Instruction videos on how to use our products
  • Seminar and workshop broadcasts
  • DIY advertising (although, strictly speaking, this should be left to the pro’s – click here and here)
  • ‘Meet the team’ credibility video
  • Happy clients using our products (especially the Bug Zapper)
