TigerDirect.ca beats Amazon to YouTube Ads
Well, it was rumoured here not very long ago by Baxter that Amazon was in the process of linking in YouTube commercials for their products. Noticed this week, TigerDirect.ca
now have YouTube video commercials for some of their products such as this Pentax Camera.
It’s a wonderful idea since they drive traffic to their site via YouTube as well as through their own site. Plus the commercials are made by TigerTV! Sure, the commercials are a little funny at times, but at least they give you an idea of the size and quality of the product.
Update: Amazon’s response is to let visitors to the site create their own video reviews. Good idea if people started using it. It’s too bad Amazon doesn’t let you link to the reviews that have already been uploaded to YouTube.
Glad to hear that the videos caught your eye. They truly are done by Tiger ourselves, including yours truly, Sr. Editor Lonny Paul.
We now have over 200 custom videos on TigerDirect products and continue to post more each day.
Tiger believes that our customers want an out of the box experience – and we give it to them with our videos, as well as educate and provide great usage examples and samples as well.
You can watch our videos on YouTube, Stickam and slowly are being added to MySpace as well.
Please provide me with any additional feedback on our videos!
