The Roku Channel Store

Roku Public Channels
Public Channels created for the Channel Store should be those intended for the widest possible distribution, without restriction other than as required for business reasons, such as payment of a monthly subscription.
Public channels channels may be submitted to Roku for acceptance into the Channel Store. If accepted by Roku, a channel will be made available through the Channel Store to all Roku users.

Roku Private Channels
A channel may be uploaded to the Roku Developer Site and made available to users through the Private Channel mechanism. These channels are not available through the Channel Store, but can be accessed by Roku users by means of a unique channel access code provided to users. Channels intended for a very narrow audience, or carrying restrictions on access such as membership in a group or organization are better suited for Private Channels. There is no Roku approval process necessary to publish a Private Channel.

Are you aware of the explosion in online cloud video viewing? What if your business had a video commercial distributed online as well as on TV that could could very well be worth a thousand sales.

Considering that VIDEO now appears in 70% of the top 100 search results listings, and that viewers are anywhere from 64-85% more likely to buy after watching a product video – this is one marketing force you can’t afford to ignore. Here’s why:

Online video marketing has finally come of age. We no longer have to deal with a glut of sluggish connections, incompatible technologies or bland commercials begging for our business. These days, smart companies and innovative entrepreneurs are turning the online broadcast medium into a communications cornucopia: a two-way street of give-and-take.

What Kind Of Results Can I Get From Online Video?

Watching video is preferred over reading (just consider the last time you watched the news versus reading a newspaper!) It spans nearly every industry and demographic.

Household Blinds  e-tailer  and FLV Hosting client  www.blinds.com reported that visitors were 144% more likely to purchase after seeing a product video than those who did not. Their videos are now so popular they syndicate them to Sears, Walmart, Target, and other major resellers

Advance Auto Parts has found that including instructional and how-to videos both on its site and Facebook has led to some surprising findings.

Visitors who watch video stay on the site twice as long and visit twice as many pages versus those who don’t see video. And, sharing those how-to tutorials on Facebook further increases the retailer’s reach.

The Hard Part; Video Marketing

Increasing sales and getting more calls, clients, wont just happen by just sticking a product video up on YouTube or your website. First, it needs to be professionally produced. After that, its all about distribution. Having a youtube video with 20 views is a waste of time and effort.

The Future of Online Video – Commercials for your company/product

In the future, you can expect to see more websites and facebook pages include commercials, video testimonials, recommendations – more of a focus shifting toward personalization of online video. Videos can be developed to focus on real-time deals, weather and even the time of day.

For companies, it’s a win-win: not only are you making the video more relevant for the people who live in your area, but you’re also increasing its effectiveness and reach considerably.

Action Steps

Wondering how to incorporate these kinds of numbers into your own marketing campaigns? Here are a few important steps to keep in mind:

• Hire a professional, local company to shoot your product videos. You want all the benefits of proper setup. Sorry, but your digital camera won’t cut it here.
• Choose an outlet for your video. Preferably one with many Facebook or twitter fans, and a busy website.
• Look for ways to involve your brand evangelists in the making or marketing of your products, similar to how Lands’ End uses live chat virtual representatives.
• Focus on getting more mileage out of your videos by segmenting them for different geographic areas, different shopper demographics or other groups.
