Business idea - cars
Interested in people's thoughts.
Car selling website, but as well as the standard pics and blurb, get the seller's to make a video of the car. In this day and age, i think a video would help shift the car that bit quicker. going on, start picking it to bits lol |

Re: Business idea - cars
This has been done, of course.
I can't think of a single reason why a video would sell a car quicker than pictures. But it would be harder to get, longer to upload and download, and take up more of your server space.

Re: Business idea - cars
I think the main problem is that most regular users may not have the equipment or ability to produce a decent video. You'd get loads of ropey videos taken on a mobile phone, which I don't think would be too informative for buyers.

Re: Business idea - cars
One thing I run into on the web more than anywhere else is violation of a basic marketing principle: "A feature is not necessarily a benefit"
You see all these clever flash intos and snazzy design that do nothing for the viewer, just show of the designer. The question here would be: what does a video show about a car that benefits the trouble in putting it up? Even a great video? Shows how fast the car accelerates or something? All that's needed is pictures. And as bumfluff points out, a bad video is worse than a bad photo.

Re: Business idea - cars
I've been to a few manufacturer sites where they have 360 degree images of cars, exterior and interior.
Video is probably a good idea, but not sure how well used as yet.
