SPOTLIGHT

Merchants Find the Value of Video

By Tim Parry
The company made its YouTube debut in November 2006. That's when president/designer Terrence Kelleman took a point-and-shoot camera and created a 1-minute, 36-second video of himself demonstrating its flagship product, the $15 magnetic Bandoleer Bracelet. He then loaded the video to YouTube.

The clip became so popular that it was featured on the YouTube home page just before Christmas. Seven weeks after the video posted, Dynomighty Designs had sold about 3,000 Bandoleer Bracelets. That was double the number of bracelets the merchant had sold in all of 2005. (Though they were overwhelmed by the response, Kelleman and his wife, Ingrid, managed to fulfill the orders.)

"Most of our donors are on e-mail and it's so much easier to get information out there fast [through e-mail] in a way people prefer to receive it," says the chapter's program director Alicia Canady. It also was hoping to pare the approximately $10,000 spent on shipping in the past, Canady says.
