“The Personalized IC Video Service fills a big gap in marketing our businesses with customized IC-centric branding rather than the usual generic WSI branding - this really helps on a local level.
Hopefully the positive feedback that you've received so far will encourage the powers-that-be to continue to fund this and other similar IC/WSI custom-branded initiatives. No-brainer for the 99% of us on the ground floor that don't get to benefit from things like BDO :-)”
“These Videos are great – I only wonder why anybody think of it earlier J Great value for money and something we can use immediately to promote our business and prove our professionalism.
There have been many opinions so far about that – I would add that this videos works for me even if they are only in English version (I am from Poland) – here many people knows English so the language is not limiting the audience so highly, but the fact that the video is personalized I can still use it.
Many Thanks to you and Nadine – your service is great!”
“This is a great idea and I love the concept. I LOVE that there is a reasonably priced source for us to put our educational, good quality and REALLY appreciate your efforts. I have some questions on this.
How do we handle that there will be 100's of duplicate videos out on YouTube on the same topic with slightly varying titles and a good portion of the description being verbatim if IC's are smart and put the script of the video into the description, which I see you did? Is the purpose to simply inform our clients and put the videos on our website?”
“Excellent initiative Rob! This has definitely added value to my clientele meetings and also to our marketing efforts. They present us more as a "Ready" company and "Reliable" one too. I suggest speeding up the productions and increasing topics covered in order to engage more prospects in a shorter amount of time. The power of Video is amazing Rob! I highly recommend to all ICs.”
“Great informative workshop into the options and potential benefits to our business from the utilisation of social media and reputation management. The workshop demonstrated the potential benefits to our business from the proper and professional implementation of LinkedIn and the importance of managing online reputation. Rob's detailed knowledge of the subject area is impressive and we would have no hesitation in calling on Rob for his future support and in recommending WSI to other organisations.”
“Thanks for organising these videos Rob they are a great addition to our marketing portfolio and help differentiate us from the competition. I look forward to each monthly instalment.
Keep up the good work”
“I have been a supporter of your videos from the start. They are topical, informative and a good thought provoker for my clients - I send them out through my monthly email to my clients.
I find them helpful for upselling to clients and also to generally raise the profile of our brand as an authority on digital marketing related topics. Thanks for your hard work on this - keep 'em coming! :-)”
“I attended the launch event and thought that there was a good mix of people in attendance. The formula worked well as people were allowed to mingle and chat freely. The speakers came across well.
The location worked well as too often you feel cramped for space and struggle to hear yourself think let alone talk. There was plenty of open space and it appeared to run very smoothly. I would certainly attend future events and will be letting contacts know about the group.”
“Rob organised the inaugural Gloucester/Cheltenham Rugby Business Network meeting and did a great job as usual. Large turnout, great mix of businesses and a fantastic location. Very interesting to hear Ollie Morgan and the other speakers. I will attend all future events and would recommend other businesses do likewise if they wish to network in the area”
“I think the videos are great branding tools and, by being a monthly release, they provide consistency when I post 'my' personalized video.
It's obvious that I do not create them but there is a subtle reinforcement that I have access to resources who can. I am not a SME on YouTube so I can't say my uploads are click-simple but everything else about the process of doing business with Rob's team is.
I hope Rob can continue providing this arrow to the IC quiver. For new (and not so new) IC's, I highly recommend this as the best investment of $36 each month you can make. If you find a better use, let me know and I'll drop Rob likea hot potato.
Seriously, I will continue to subscribe to the videos to maintain brand awareness and credibility as long as they are available to me at such an affordable price. If a prospect asks what some term or acronym means, they can be pointed to the appropriate video for a quick and understandable explanation. Obviously, I am a satisfied customer.”
“Rob (and team), I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the great videos that you are producing for me as an IC to talk about the various elements of our industry. I've got positive feedback from customers after watching them and it's a great way to keep "top of mind" and talk about all the different services that we are able to offer our customers. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to my next monthly installment!”
“These videos are great! I've been ignoring my blog for far too long and these videos give me good, relevant subject matter and a reason to post. Plus, they're just good videos”
“I am pleased to be part of this trial - it's been a great resource for extra content for my site and also for social media. The quality of the content is top notch and really positions me as an expert.
Most of all I LOVE the price point and how easy it is to work with Rob's team. I am in Texas and have never had a bit of trouble getting my questions answered - even though we are separated by lots of miles and several hours.
Thanks so much for offering this service.”
“This is a great service Rob. It would be criminal if it wasn't continued.
It allows me to blog once a month with your video to supplement my other posts and for the price it offer great value.
I urge THO to continue this initiative.”
“Rob, When I watched my first video that you had produced my first thought was "how do I get these?". Since I have started to use them leads have been coming to me instead me having to seek them out. At networking events, they have proved to be a conversation starter and the envy of my competition. Even if THO do not continue to support the production of the videos I intend to continue to use them. Thanks very much for providing this service. Phil”
“Great work on creating these very inexpensive forms of advertising. I have been tweeting, and blogging these from my youtube posting of the videos. I believe it is helping to create a strong authority position for my local WSI business on the web. I feel like I am just scratching the surface of what videos can do for search engine results. I have created a few simple powerpoint type videos for a client in the home improvement, and it is starting to get multiple page 1 impressions in SEO searches. These videos are showing up on page 1 results as well as his regular landing pages. So videos do add excellent searchable material for the web, when you leverage them with keyword content. You are helping us further exploit a valuable resource on the web. Thanks.”
“Rob was an excellent presenter at the WSI webinar "11 Tips to Building Your Personal Brand Using Social Media." He was very thorough, yet not rushed, in covering a number of key tips to help people use both LinkedIn and Google+ more effectively. I especially liked that he started and ended on time, plus I was impressed with how adeptly he answered the questions posed to him. I highly recommend any webinar where Rob is the presenter.”
“As with everything web based, it changes almost weekly and there is always something new (and old) to be considered and refined. Rob's presentation was very inspirational, he answered all of the questions with confidence and clarity, in a language that I could understand and implement, in stages if necessary. Rob's knowledge and guidance through the various subjects would clearly be of benefit to all, including the real decision makers in their business”
“Just would like to echo some of the things said regarding these videos. You can't go wrong with the price. The quality is outstanding and it does give each of us some more credibility. I would highly recommend them to anyone especially newer IC's who are trying to add quality content to their site and push it out through your social channels. Keep up the good work Rob. Very valuable service in my mind.”
“The Digital Marketing videos are an incredible value. They help you build your credibility online and position you as an expert in internet marketing. Well done Rob!”
