TedStarzec Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi everybody. I have just installed (at great expense) a large monitor to play shoe repair/ shoe care related videos to encourage customers to wait for repairs. It will give them something to watch and me a chance to advertise our products and services. My problem is finding relevant videos!! None of my suppliers seem keen or even interested, which surprised me as it is obviously a marketing opportunity for them as well! Any ideas or suggestions? Regards Ted kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYKeys Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Haven't you gone about this the wrong way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi Ted, if it were me I would find relevant youtube clips and ask the owner for permission to use - for instance vibram have a few on there and there are lots about shoe repairing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterkey2012 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just about to do the same , bought monitor / with USB playback .....found someone local who deals with media & websites to make up short video's and stills to make we hope 20min video , that will go on a loop ? ask about your area ....give me keys & shoes all day , but modern stuff like that forget it 🤔 Find a Nerd near you 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Why not film yourself mending shoes/cutting keys, Lee has done this to great effect. I think it's better for your customers seeing you rather than some unknown, probably American doing the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySafe Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Why not use it to promote additional items you sell i.e. polishes or hardware etc.? Most people will visit the shop for the reason of getting their shoes fixed or getting a key cut so they know you already do this. You should use the monitor to advertise the products that they do not know you do. keithm, Simes and kobblers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 depends on the quality you want but you can do some pretty decent promo filming with your phone & an app like iMovie. for a simple promo loop type video it would be a peice of cake I'd have thought. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
