Providing a complete video
solution for Online Directories
- (Revenue share calc described at the end of the page)
Overview of the TVBUZ Offering:
- TVBUZ provides everything that an online directory needs to gain competitive advantage from letting its customers put their business video on its website uniquely at the point of search. This includes infrastructure, software and support
- Through a truly innovative approach we bring video into the purchaser buying decision; users will be able to use video to help select appropriate services. Business/promotional videos become more useful and can be seen by subscribers to increase business.
- The online directory becomes a more effective sales engine for their subscribers by getting the right video to the right buyer at the right time.
- The directory becomes a much more useful destination for users seeking a service. It becomes the only way in which a user will be presented with a set of videos relevant to his search.
- We manage our clients’ video offering, meaning they can easily add this powerful video to their current offering with no impact on the existing system.
- In addition TVBUZ has established a UK wide network of trusted small production companies to support businesses need for more and better business video at a low cost.
What we believe this means for the market:
- Video will become used earlier in the purchase decision.
- Business video will become increasingly used for decision support, and thus become increasingly important to all businesses.
- Focus will shift from occasional expensive high quality ‘corporate background’ videos to frequent lower cost product/service oriented video.
- Video messages will need to be short, sharp and directly relevant to the product/service being sought. New videos will have to be made more often but shorter and at lower cost.
- Even small businesses will have to respond to this new business model.
- Directories that embrace this early will become destination points for users looking for video support of their purchase decision
