Today’s guests, Ilde & Mark, inventors of Starlettos (they’re what Lukeee wears to stop his high-heals from sinking in to the grass) are a great example of a small business doing some very big marketing.

  1. Just a heads up re Youtube videos that were discussed in the podcast – show some caution. Whilst it may not be applicable to this business other may have issues promoting products in this manner. i.e. would you be expecting prospective clients to look at the videos at work in their lunch hour or do you sell products for clients such as Government depts. and corporations?

    We learnt early on that youtube is blocked by most Government depts. and big businesses and using the analogy of a picture paints a thousand words but a video seals the deal (I made that up) not being able to show your product in use can be a major hurdle to overcome.

    In our case we ended up recoding our videos and hosting them locally and in most cases now they stream through firewalls.

  3. Very good tip Bruce. A good argument for using multiple formats to communicate to your customers.
