Free clips are not promotional. People go to dailymotion so they can watch clips for free, not because they want to see what a producer's quality is. And don't throw that "it's good marketing shit at me." I've taken enough marketing classes to know the difference between promotional and being taken advantage of. Promotional means it's on there for like a day, then you have to start buying it it you want more of the same or similar products. Dailymotion provides continuous freebies of many different producers. That' doesn't spark sales. That discourages sales! Last time I checked, that NOT good business!
Mr NDJ:
Since I buy some of the clips I see. That makes what Daily Motion does promotional for
me. It will apply to others that preview the clips and later buy them.
Producers can't think that they can make evey dollar.
RadioHead a Rock Band offered their music for free on the internet. It was offered to
those who wanted it and for free and to those who wanted to pay.
They sold a lot of music that way.
I think Daily Motion is doing a good job. To me, they are
promoting the videos. Some will not pay...give aways is also a part of marketing.
Your marketing degree may need an update. You remind me of the guys at IBM when Bill
Gates tried to work with them. (emphasis added). They could not understand where he
was going...You perhaps cannot understand what Daily Motion is doing. I think they are
providing a great service to our community.
Your thinking is off by a lot.
That's just my opinion. Maybe you should teach. In a
classroom setting what you say makes a lot of sense...just not in the real world.
I think Daily Motion is outstanding and what they do is great. You are welcomed to be
wrong and blame it on your degree. Certainly there are many flaws in education. If you
respond and admit you are a Marketing Professor...I will understand.
