Video advertising query - poll

[flyingfeet]

TFC may shoot me for this - however I wanted to canvass opinion

If you were looking for an older safe hacking type horse and it had videos like this on the advertisement would it put you off?

The reason I ask is that its suddenly gone quiet, and just wondering whether this is in fact the wrong thing to put on

they are really short (under 20 secs)

if i was looking for a hacking horse the videos wouldn't put me off but are quite random? if you wanted to include of of them and then add another of it cantering across a field or walking along the road in traffic?

 

[flyingfeet]

Yes I suppose that would make far more sense - trouble is on my mobile the horse would just look like a speck in the distance

I could do horseback ones easily when out and about (i.e. when riding the horse) would that help?

If I was looking at an ad for an older, hacking type horse, I would like to see a short clip of walk, trot and canter in the school/field.

It wouldn't put me off but if i'm looking for an older horse that hacks thats what I want to see, just like if I was looking for a horse to tent peg thats what i'd want to see.

I'd like to see clips of a horse being bomb proof with traffic and obstacles as most horses are happily ridden in a school.

 

[flyingfeet]

So on balance - it would be better to remove these videos then?

I think so

Vids are great but IMO need to reflect the activity you're selling the horse based on. Ie if selling a SJer vids of it jumping, dresssager some flatwork, happy hacker some hacking film.

I suppose you have to think if i'm looking / buying a happy hacker how useful are vids of horse just tent pegging.
