I believe in video as the best way to humanize a blog and to be yourself to your audience. Video advertising is nice, as is CEO video, which is what I’m specializing in.
Every CEO blog and corporate website must offer videos of the CEO explaining the company, demonstrating the products, inviting the audience to interact.
Video ads are especially good for showing Product In Use Solving Problem. That’s the best marketing angle, not just another talking head pleading like Video Professor: “Try my product”.
Calling a product “my product” is cheesey and shows you see it not as user benefit, but as “my lunch money program”.

Perfect music, good mix, and I love books and poetry, so I enjoyed this. I would have had a customer come in and do a little customer service skit maybe. Funny and informative.
I wish this would have focused more on why owner loves books, what USP makes this bookstore special, etc.
But a nice, soothing, pleasant ad you have done here, very nice.
