In a recent blog post, Doug Mack of Adobe Scene7 provides some sage advice (in the Jan 27th post) on the importance of Web Video in eCommerce. Specifically, he refers to the use of Scene7 on the Cloudveil Web site to cleverly mix skiing eye candy (click “watch the video review”) in with soft touches on product features. The argument is that the audience is captivated by the oh-so relevant content and consequently drawn in, to A) learn more about the brand and its products or B) strengthen an already existing brand affinity that leads to more purchases down the road. Can we say “conversions”?

You are preaching to the choir, Doug, and we couldn’t agree more. We are constantly pushing the power of video and love nothing more than helping our clients incorporate it successfully in their projects. From Web projects including Cloudveil and the Town of Taboro, to business profiles on Jackson Hole Roasters and the 4UR Fly Fishing Program, video and rich media are setting the curve. The question, are you on board or behind the times?
