PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - July 14, 2008) - ChosenList™, the premier resource for clean
content classifieds, careers and social networking, provides small and
medium-size business owners an effective way to promote their company and
sell products and services through video advertisements in a community-safe
online resource that prohibits objectionable content.
ChosenList hosts 30 to 60 second video-based classifieds free of charge,
providing the best option for businesses to use online videos for promotion
and commercial advertising. The associated expense for placement and
production of a 30 second television ad can consume an entire marketing
budget for some small companies. The free classified service offered by
ChosenList is an alternative for budget-conscious business owners and
marketers that want to maximize the reach of commercial advertising through
the Internet.
Online video viewing continues to grow and use by businesses can be seen on
popular sites like YouTube. comScore reports that nearly 135 million U.S.
Internet users watched an average of 82 videos per viewer in April 2008.
Craigslist boasts 30 million U.S. users each month for their popular
text-based classifieds web site which are more commonly being used by
businesses to take advantage of the growing online classifieds market.
"As online video usage increases, business owners want to take advantage of
the captive audience without sacrificing their reputation and brand
integrity because they are posting their ads alongside unsavory content
that is not safe for all viewing ages," said Cary Peters, president and COO
of ChosenList. "We provide the most cost-effective, safe online video
advertising option that is open to millions of buyers, and the reason it is
cost-effective is because it is absolutely free."
Most video classifieds at ChosenList are produced with inexpensive digital
cameras that allow for simple upload through any computer USB port. If a
business wants to hire someone to shoot a video ad, ChosenList offers
access to videographers through their exclusive Video-Agent™ network.
Video classifieds on www.chosenlist.com are listed by topic areas of
interest to increase search capabilities and attract buyers by interests.
All advertisers are offered a free map with directions to locate the
business. ChosenList is currently open in a dozen cities and plans to
launch service in 300 cities within the next year.
