During the universal search session, the usefulness of video in regards to boring business items was discussed. Kevin Ryan asserted, “Should I make a video of me hitting myself with a ball peen hammer?”
I’m sitting here in Kitty O’Shea’s in Chicago and Jim Hedger says “Yes, I would pay to see that!”
Greg Jarboe says, “I’d advertise on that video because the video would get a lot of cheap hits.”
What do you think? If enough people agree with Jim, maybe Kevin Ryan will be making his hammer debut on Youtube!
[…] Dalka mentioned on his blog that folks at SES Chicago 2007 were discussing video marketing’s potential for marketing […]
That could be interesting…
Sorry to be picky, but it should be “ball-peen” hammer:
“The original function of the hammer was to “peen” riveted or welded material so that it will exhibit the same elastic behavior as the surrounding material.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-peen_hammer
And yes, I’d watch.
Carolyn,
Thanks for the much needed correction! I appreciate it and have corrected it.
I should have noticed it when I got scarce content looking for a picture! Thanks again!
