On a popular industry website, Tech Observer, industry expert Blaise Zerega links to some interesting statistics from the New York Times for online video. “As reported by the New York Times, the number of people watching video inched up from 132 million in May 2007 to 135 million this past April. But the amount of time spent viewing video skyrocketed from 158 minutes per user in May of last year to 228 minutes per user in April.”

So as we can see, not only are more people WATCHING videos online, but this larger number of people is watching videos for longer periods of time. So now is the time to take advantage of this type of media.

If you haven’t yet thought about posting videos on sites such as YouTube and Revver for your company, you may be missing out on some BIG opportunities to get the word out. With Vantage Video, we shoot and produce quality videos for our clients (like the one below)…from additional news about a recent press release to expert videos and how-tos for the industry.

So hop on the video train, and take a ride to more coverage.
