A MEET-THE-AGENT video is just as important as a business card

Fast Response Kent and thanks for the comment.  Couple of things going on here.  First off I posted the wrong embed code... my fault.  When i went to fix it ActiveRain bombed on me.  Apperently ActiveRain doesn't like the Safari browser.  ActiveRain errors out eventually everytime I use Safari.  You would think I would learn by now.  So I had to start up Firefox and correct the post.  Also another annoyance is that I have to add text first in the WYSIWYG editor, save then re-edit using the HTML editor to embed the video code.  If I don't do it that way I loose my post.  Maybe it's a Mac thing.  So for those that subscribe you get a half post before i can finish fully.  Technology... We can do anything we can imagine... sometimes.  Thanks again for keeping me honest.

Thank you for responding Pauline.  You have a valid point.  I think the problem here is that we are putting too much attention on this particular video.  Who is to say that all MEET-THE-AGENT videos have to be cookie cutter.  Why couldn't we make a video for you addressing exactly what you want at the pace you want with testimonials from clients and more.  This particular video was created how our client wanted it.  We want you to succeed and we want your investment to pay you back exponentially.  Ultimately Theater of Homes wants you to look good.  But, Theater of Homes will do what you want.  This particular video demonstrates an unscripted interview type production.  We captured this and turned it around same day however, Theater of Homes has a track and dolly, jib, and TelePrompTer.  We have the capability to create a second by second structured video also.  We can shoot in studio or on location.  Theater of Homes is a full blown production company with a broker as it's founder.

I feel like a MEET-THE-AGENT piece is your personal webmmercail.  I personally think every professional, every business, and organization should have a webmmercial on their website.  I want to sharer this quick experience with you.

This past saturday my wife returns home from her weekly grocery shopping spree with containers of Driscoll's strawberries.  Upon putting away the berries my youngest exclaims "can I have some strawberries?"  This gets my attention and I enter the kitchen to see what he is talking about.  I see the berries in the fridge and ask my wife where did these come from?  Who has strawberries growing in February?  As my wife wash and prepared a container of strawberries for the family I grabbed the empty container and headed to the computer.  Turns out there was a web address on the container.  I wanted to know where and how these guy where growing strawberries in the winter.  I typed in http://www.driscolls.com and immediately the site loads and what do I find?  A video.  I learned in about a minute who, what, and where Driscoll's was.  I also found myself compelled to watch the whole video.  This also led me to explore the remainder of the site which in turn translates into a reduced bounce rate.  Who doesn't want that?  This farmer "gets it."

A webmmercial or MEET-THE-AGENT video is just a great opportunity to capture potential clients attention.  Even more wonderful is that this webmmercial can be modified and molded overtime as you discover what works and what is most effective for you.  It's personal.

Thank you Pauline for your contribution.
