Would you pay for it?


SpiritClips - video clips and e-greeting cards

Would you pay for it?

Rob Fried, a famous Hollywood film producer, started the new online business this week. SpiritClips provides 3 to 5 minutes video clips at a 99 cents. Also, video clips can be send as an e-card at a $2.99. Annual cost for free access to any clips are $ 24.99.
SpiritClips’ video clips are touching a string in heart. SpiritClips’ members can make their own e-cards and share them with others. In addition, members can leave their own stories on the SpiritClips and some stories can be a short film. This e-business is similar to other online greeting cards business having a large market. Other companies sell e-cards as well as paper cards, but SpiritClips do e-business only. It’s a gamble for making a brand new product because a thousands of people watch free video clips on the internet. But if SpiritClips become a business, this new business could hit a home run.

I browsed the SpritClips website providing free trial video clips. After I watched the short video clip, “Sally”, I felt my heat warming. It was only 3minutes stories but it’s enough to touch a heart. On the SpiritClips website, There is a message telling “I saw this great movie and it made me think of you”. A collection of 3-5min films won an Academy Award-winning producer. If someone send me a e-card with those words, I would be very impressed. These days, we can freely access to free video clips on the website like YouTube, however, it’s not easy to find such an inspiring collection of films.
I think SpiritClips could do business well in that many people remember very impressive scenes on a movie and a number of people sending e-greeting cards gradually increase
It could be exciting to have a favorite video clips and share it with friends together.
