I am also curious about the the results that you receive from this.

There’s lots of buzz right now about using video, but I’m having trouble putting it together with how little time people take to decide whether to stay at a website. Isn’t it something like 2 seconds?

Would love to hear your thoughts on that and look forward to hearing about the results you actually get from this.

Love,

Laurie

And here’s some feedback from the “what would I think if I didn’t know who sent it to me?” side:

If I’d been reading it at work instead of at 9pm at home, I’d have been impatient.

Photos were great and here’s specifically how: you show a natural mix of people of different ages, genders, and races. It felt fresh and like the people I see around me, not like a Proctor and Gamble ad with token people of color designed to appeal to certain markets.

On the other hand, some shots seemed a little “hit you over the head with it” to me, e.g. the empty pockets or the one with the downward trending graph.

I was expecting more of a sound bite of some sort – even more of a thought provoking message than that it is possible to make money and meaning. But that is clearly the message that stuck with me, especially because the web site was on every page.

Viral video? I wouldn’t automatically send it to anyone. Maybe after checking out the pink spoon. But the things I see that “go viral” are hilariously funny. Now, maybe there are people out there who send more “meaningful” things around, and come to think of it I have some friends who send me those, but my reaction when they show up in my box at work is “hurry up, get to the point” and they don’t captivate me. The ones that get me look like they’re shot with a handheld video camera and they have some unexpected twist. And I realize this isn’t that sort of thing, so for that reason I’ll be very curious to see the stats on a *meaningful* viral video.

Thanks for asking for opinions! I tried to balance the view. I think it’s a great idea and it definitely made me want to get the pink spoon.

The messages are great and I like the call to action screen a lot… the sign up looks easy and like it’s fun… it’s compelling.

I thought the movie might be a bit long and that you had made most of your points about 2/3 through and then sort of retraced your steps and then finished. I might not have sat through it if I wasn’t curious cause I know it’s you two.

Very inspiring… and most of my clients, including those with successful careers, are looking to find ways to make MORE meaning and have MORE impact… they need you!

Thanks for sharing this.

Conveys the message well, and of course I want to know how it’s done.

Best of success to you,
