Is My Exploding Van To Much For Youtube Marketing?

Update... This was a test video to see what kind of response I would get. After reviewing feedback from others I have decided that the video was not in my companies best interest. Thank you all for your support and feedback.

My wife said that my customers may not like this what do you think?

It might be good for getting views on your YouTube page, but I wouldn't want my customers to have the impression that I might show up in a van that's near death.

Fun for us... You never know what will happen if you make it a public video. It might be a 'million hit video' in no time. I can say so, however, it did not send a good message to me, as a consumer.

Thanks Guys. I have to agree however I am curious as to what results I will get good or bad. 38 views in less than 2 hours is pretty good.

You should put oil in it every once in awhile.

It had a main bearing go bad and I lost all of my oil before I had it towed. I could have fixed it however they usually go bad again shortly after.

WOW that was a bit intense. OK for Youtube but I would avoid showing customers. How many miles on that engine Joe and were you the primary driver?

**Spots2Stop** · 03-11-2010, 07:47 PM

130,000 miles plus cds time. I have put on most of the miles until recently as I have been getting enough work to hire a employee. I think it is just one of those things that happens.

Interesting Video Joe, you could use this video in another thread that is currently running.
What do you do if you have to cancel.
Just send them a copy of that video lol

LOL.... Thats why I have two youtube accounts! 1 for show and one for NO show, except for TMF eyes only!

Not for the Public view.

Looks like what kids would do - not a professional would do.

I have seen many of your YouTube vids and they show the company it a professional level . You know the ones that the customer would want in their home. THIS DOES NOT!!!! First impressions.

This is more your fun side lets say and really would not look good for a business at all.

Curiosity killed a cat and for a while I was a suspect.

About 50% of our customers are men. I have had mixed reviews on this. Some call me a dumba$$ and others say that was cool. So I am going to test the waters a little and post it on craigslist. Because I am in a large populated area I feel I can get away with testing this for a short period without everyone in town watching it.

I feel that those that would not hire someone that blows up engines would never even find the video and those that would will find humor in it. I have not key worded it to show up in searches so it will only be seen by those that want to see exploding engines. Most people that visit my channel don't click see all video's so it is not likely to be seen unless I promote it.

Please do not think that I do not value all of your opinions as I do and truly appreciate it. After I test this out for one or two more days I should know if this will damage my reputation or not and will decide then if it should be deleted.

It has not been up for 20 hours yet and has had 233 views.

Thank you all for your feedback.
