Customer Testimonials

Alan Creedy has been an eCorpTV customer for about a year and recently shared his experience using eCorpTV to host his business videos:

Alan said, “I also need to thank the fabulous people at eCorpTV.com, my business video hosting site. Imagine a video hosting provider that is instantly RESPONSIVE. They jumped in with both feet to figure this out some of them even worked on it over the weekend. I have used them for a little more than a year now. I chose to avoid the YouTube route because i didn’t like having real tutorials on “everyman’s” video site. eCorpTV.com limits themselves to business videos. But what I have learned to like best is the way they support me when there is a problem.

If you have business video on your website you should check them out.”

eCorpTV Surpasses 150,000 Video Submissions-PRESS RELEASE

Business Video Hosting Site eCorpTV Surpasses 150,000 Video Submissions

Milestone Reinforces Growing Popularity of Business Video Streaming Among Organizations of All Sizes

(WAYNE, PA) January 28, 2011
Business video hosting and sharing site eCorpTV has just surpassed 150,000 video submissions, confirming that organizations of all sizes continue to embrace online video. “Streaming video in the industrial environment has become a hot idea, and eCorpTV.com lets us take advantage of its popularity”,” said Sally Olson, video marketing manager at Fastenal. “The fact that we can embed the videos on our web site and don’t have to host all that content on our own server is tremendous. I’d absolutely recommend eCorpTV.com.”

All video submissions are screened and approved by eCorpTV staff to ensure content quality and integrity of the site. This helps customers avoid the clutter found on sites like YouTube, and to attract new customers in a business web environment. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors, uses eCorpTV to enhance its overall video marketing efforts. “The business-video-only collateral of eCorpTV differentiates it from (consumer sites), which are cluttered with non-corporate content. In contrast, eCorpTV is compartmentalized,” said Craig Hunter, director of Internet marketing at Vishay.

According to eCorpTV President Robert G. Lail, “The continued growth in video submissions at eCorpTV is tied to the growing number of business video views,” expected to top 6.5 billion views in 2010 according to Interactive Media Strategies. “Not only are we getting a larger number of video submissions, their content and quality continues to improve, as well,” commented Lail.

Another reason for the large number of video submissions is that with video hosting packages starting at $49/month, there is a low barrier to entry. Although a majority of eCorpTV customers are SMB’s, clients also include Fortune 1000 companies such as Sealed Air, ArcelorMittal, W. R. Grace, QVC, and Fastenal.

What’s next for eCorpTV? “We will be participating in several video marketing conferences on the West Coast this year. We also plan to launch several new lead generation tools for customers. The future of online business video adoption by companies of all sizes, across all segments, is very promising. We’re cautiously optimistic, but wildly enthusiastic,” said Lail.

Why YouTube Isn't Appropriate for Business Videos

Here’s a MUST-READ article by Mark Shapiro which details multiple reasons why YouTube should not be your choice to host your corporate videos. A corporate video network like eCorpTv will give you safety with options for password protection, direct leads, improved SEO search, and professional atmosphere your videos need to deliver results!

YouTube for Your Business? Maybe Not

By, Mark Shapiro

Why you need a professional video player and video hosting platform instead of relying on YouTube for your Business Videos

Are you doing internet marketing? Is your business doing eCommerce? Do you need to communicate with your partners, customers and teams throughout the world? If so, you probably already know that online video is one of the most powerful communication and marketing tools you can utilize.

According to Paul Palumbo, Research Director at Accustream Research, “Video is a must have marketing/promotion/brand building tool as brands establish their media identities. Its now a strategic imperative to reach, resonate with and stay present inside a visually literate and connected world.”

One of the first big questions that online business video users face is how to distribute the video? Do they post it for free to an online public and community site like YouTube? Or do they use one of the commercial web hosting and online video platforms?

YouTube has a lot of advantages for those who want to host and share their videos online. Its free, its easy and everybody knows YouTube. And did we mention it is FREE.

YouTube is excellent for those who want to share clips, family videos, odd happenings, and their personal videos. However, YouTube is not a good eCommerce platform. For most businesses that use the web to promote their business and services, or to sell products, using a commercial web video player and an online video hosting platform can be a lot more effective.

Here is why.

More video options and better video quality

By using an online video platform, there are no restrictions on the length or file size of the video you want to upload and share.
Most “free” online video sites, like Google and Vimeo, limit you on the length or your video and the size of the file. Sometimes you can pay extra to post longer and bigger videos but then, it is no longer free.

You can create and share videos of various sizes and shapes – with embedded messages and animations. You can even embed commercials, hot spots and links. For example, during your online video demo for a specific product, you can embed hot links to various accessories and options, as well as to a Shopping cart
. While the video is streaming, your customers can click the hot link to go to the specific landing page or instantly buy the product being demoed.

By using a video hosting platform that utilizes a top ranked CDN to distribute the video worldwide, you can ensure high quality video delivery without any stuttering or stopping.

You Can Control How Your Video is Delivered

By using an online video platform and custom player, you can control the look and feel of your video and how it is delivered. By using an online video platform and custom player, you can control the look and feel of your video and how it is delivered.

Unlike YouTube, you can create your own video player or video players with your company’s logo, look and feel. This layer can be embedded on your web site or even embedded on your customers and partners web sites.

Some of the customizable options you can choose from include various player sizes and shapes, colors, images, auto play, web links and text overlays. You can set your player to have text overlay on the video on start up or whenever the user hovers over the player.

Maybe most importantly, there will be no YouTube or Google advertising or competitive messages around your video. As you may know, Google chooses ads depending on relevance, which means that on the YouTube site, there is a very good possibility that your competitor’s ads will appear next to your videos. You probably don’t want that.

Many online video platforms provide dashboards to manage your video library and how they are delivered.

Protect Your Videos

You can make them private. You don’t have to worry about YouTube hackers taking your video and creating unwelcome parodies or stealing your video footage. You can avoid competitors posting negative comments or links to their own sites. Once you post a video to YouTube, YouTube or any of its users can then replay or redistribute that video, without any real limits for eternity. Once posted to YouTube, you have given away your video to the world. That can be a good thing or a bad thing.

By using your own player, you also can control how the online world reacts and responds to your video. No bad ratings or off-the-wall comments. You can prevent spammers from using the comment sections to plug their sites and products.

Better Web Search Results

By using your own custom player, you can optimize your web search results. Yes, YouTube has good internal site search, but most people still go to a general search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing when they are searching to purchase a product or a service.

Using proper SEO techniques, you can make your video more easily discovered on the web than by simply posting it to YouTube. According to Google search, having video on your web site can improve the Click Through Rate from organic search results. Even better, when the search reuslts are displayed, thumbnails of your video are displayed which gives your listing more prominance. By the way, in order to better promote their videos, online businesses should submit video site maps to google for them to be indexed and displayed in SERPS. Here is how to do it –

Track Your Viewers

By using web analytics you can track who is accessing your video and what parts of it they are watching.

To get even more information and possible leads to follow up on, an online video platform for businesses makes it easy to set up a sign-in form in allow web visitors to access the videos hosted on your own site. This can be very good for developing sales leads. Another way to generate revenue, if your video content is very compelling and valuable, is use a professional online video platform to make the video pay for play.

Online Video Platforms is for Businesses doing Business

Because of the control, customization and quality, most online marketers and eCommerce sites prefer to use professional video players and online video platforms to host and distribute their videos on the web. If you are serious about using online video to market your services and goods on the Internet, you need to use an online video hosting platform that is geared to the needs of a business like yours.

Using Video as a Marketing Tool

Using Video as a Marketing Tool

Have you thought of using videos to market your business or service? If not, it’s time to start.
If you have an online business or offline for that matter using video as a marketing tool is a wise choice.

Although there are many that will want to read more about your business or service, the majority are enticed by visuals. Don’t believe me? Sit for one afternoon and simply count all the commercials and infomercials that are broadcasted daily. This same concept can be applied to your business. Adding videos to your marketing plan will help your market and community connect with you.

It is difficult to express emotion with words, although there are many that can do it successfully. With the use of video, your viewer will instantly connect with your emotion and passion. You don’t have to go to the extreme as such individuals on infomercials but simply describing your product or service is a way to connect with your audience and ultimately your customer base.

A few points to keep in mind when using video to market your business or service:

– Don’t be too flashy: it may work for some on television but you don’t want to categorized as a infomercial salesman type

– Be honest: your audience, target market, customers and clients will be able to detect instantly if you are not being honest, perhaps some may not right away but ultimately they will.

– Be clear: when using video be sure to be clear in both the quality of the video itself and in your appearance and words

– Be concise: keep your videos short and sweet, many will disagree on length of video clips, so the best bet is to determine how long you will sit through a video and gage your videos to that length. Many will not sit for more than 3 minutes and you don’t want to lose the attention of your market.

Ultimately, using videos as a marketing tool is a smart and innovative idea that many are using. What are you waiting for? Start today!

7 Tips to Start Video Blogging for your Business

7 Tips to Start Video Blogging for your Business

We are going to cover 7 tips to start video blogging or Vlogging. There are many tips and tricks that will help you get exactly what you need out of video and your blog. You will want to be very aware of your lighting both natural and artificial. Remember that lighting is your friend. It makes you be seen. It is important.

Also we will talk about sound. How do you get excellent sound quality when you are outside or around other sources of noise? That is one of the best questions that we will address. When you are outside you will definitely want to pay attention. You want your Vlog to be amazing and adding video to your blog is not as hard as you think. Video blogging is the key to opening your business even further.

1. Lighting: You can always use natural light – which is wonderful – or you can use artificial light (the more of it he better). In most cases you will opt for recording outdoors or near a window or other source of natural light.

2. Sound: Having two sources of recording, one for hearing and one for imaging is a great trick. You can always paste in the vocals later as the distant vocals from the image perspective you want to use may not be viable. Wind and distance do pose a problem on the quest to recording descent vocals.

3. Location of equipment: If you are in a windy environment, make sure your recording device is somewhere out of the wind or some sort of sheltered area so that you and your voice can be captured clearly.

4. External Microphones: This is highly recommended gear. A web cam recorder is basic and not advanced in recording sound. Using an external recorder is highly recommended because the sound quality is much better at recording than a simple camera recorder combo device.

5. Shotgun recorders: Shot gun recording devices are long pointed microphones that can be attached to certain cameras and aim the recording to a target (like your mouth) and somewhat eliminate background noises.

6. Get an external mic: You can use an external mic. Those work very well. Those are great for when you are on the road. This is the very best way to get audio – especially when you are interviewing someone on the road and are a bit away from the camera.

7. Sound is the most important part: Even if your video is not the greatest – if your sound is excellent it can almost carry the weight of the entire presentation – it is that important!

There are many tips and tricks to consider. These were just a few.
