YouTube A Partner For The Swimming Pool & Spa Industry

In 2011, Google reported 3 million video views per day on YouTube - a 50% increase over the year before. “That's the equivalent of nearly half the world's population watching a YouTube video each day, or every U.S. resident watching at least nine videos a day," Google shared on their blog.  Another interesting statistic is that every minute of 2011 YouTube received 48 hours of video uploads.  Not surprisingly, YouTube is ranked as the top video destination on the web.

Video is the perfect partner to our industry.  There is nothing as engaging as moving images.  Viewers may glance at a photo, but a moving image holds their attention longer.  Long enough for them to begin to imagine the lifestyle image on the screen becoming their reality.  This year commit to video as a medium for sharing your message.  If you are new to YouTube or need instruction on setting up a YouTube channel for your company, click the YouTube icon below...
