As an attempt of shameless promotion of my Shoot-It-Yourself Wedding Video Guide I offered ten free copies to the Videomaker.com forum members on the first come, first served basis. I have also invited the participants to share their thoughts about the book. Sharing thoughts was not at all conditional, but expression could still be biased.
Nevertheless, this is what I’ve got -
- from Derek Sine: “The book is awesome!”
- from Karen Irvine: “The suggested shoot pieces were very helpful. Overall it was very helpful.”
- and my favourite from Mary Howald: “Honestly, I think that the book is great! I’ve been looking for information all over the internet about the process of shooting a wedding, and this was definitely the most clear cut guide that I found. The thing I liked best about it was that it’s easy for me to understand. I’m not extremely technical, so this was great! Most information I find deals with the technical side, but this was the first time I found a real guide…how to shoot a wedding…what to do…what to shoot…when/where/how to do it. It was great!”
I would like to thank all the participants from the bottom of my heart. Stuff that I have not put in this posting means even more for me than all the good words.
And for you, who unfortunately fell out of the lucky ten, there is a chance to get a signed copy, shipping and taxes included, at the price of the ebook, that is $14.95.
The wedding season is still picking up the speed. Purchase your own signed copy of the Shoot-It-Yourself Wedding Video Guide before it’s over. Offer valid until June 31, 2010, or until quantities last.
Recently I had a chance to spend a weekend at the Extrawa’Gown’Za Prom and Bridal Show. Besides pure enjoyment of watching four fashion shows I was promoting my book Shoot-It-Yourself Wedding Video Guide. Yes, this is me with the book.
At the photo’s bottom right you may see two digital frames - one on the left played video, the other one on the right played slide show of the sample wedding photos. While the photos attracted good lot of future brides, the videos - not so much. The indifference at some point turned into full ignorance - I have been asked, what is the point of wedding videos:
“Do people watch it again after they got married? Really?”
I replied that of course they do, and I know it for a fact. And not only they watch their wedding videos again. They watch the videos with their friends and their children. And I hope many of my customers will enjoy watching their wedding videos with their grandchildren. Is not that fun?
Something is fundamentally wrong with the marketing of the wedding videos since we’ve got asked such a question. Is it not?
