BUSINESSvideos
5 out of 6 would rather watch than read ...
... that’s what made television so popular.
Use video on sniper sites to connect with
your old and new customers. They are
your autopilot salesmen on the internet
working 24 hours every day worldwide.
“Really, can you name a company
whose marketing strategy should NOT
include informative internet videos?”
Training Videos & Training Websites
I create staff training videos, DVDs, and special
password-protected websites for adult learning.
Videos are a great way to educate staff and contract
workers on your Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) and online User Manuals.
• Social Media Campaigns
• 600+ newspapers across Canada
• Radio spots and Television (CP24)
• Google, Bing, Yahoo search networks
• One good press release can bring more sales
than all search engines combined in a year.
Snipersites targeted for keywords.
Snipersites are mini sites 4-5 pages typically with product or
infomercial video and optimized for “ready-to-buy” keywords
on search engines and work well for converting leads from
other media. Basic idea is to build a mini site and put it on
autopilot.
Magazines, Brochures, Catalogs ... Print & Online
Production of high-end brochures, magazines from cover to cover including writing,
design, pre-press and printing. Education about your products: Magalogs are a
popular way to combine the magazine concept with catalog.

Tell Your Story With A Whiteboard Movie
In a whiteboard movie a hand draws out
quickly what the voiceover is saying. People
love them. Fastdraw videos can convey complex
information in a fun way. I have drawn these for
syndicated mortgages, membership programs,
cloud software, woodworking, etc.
It’s free to show your story to millions.
