To help you sift through the many restaurant options at your disposal, we've gone through our entire library of videos to look for a few of those restaurants we've filmed that are participating in Dine About Town, 2012. So go ahead and visit their Jippidy profile so you can read their Yelp reviews, check out their Facebook Fan Pages, see what they're tweeting, but then watch the video to see if it's really a place you'd like to try. Enjoy!

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking - "ANOTHER 'Best of' list to commemorate the new year?! You're timing is not even right - isn't it supposed to be unveiled at the end of the old year or at the very beginning of the new year?!" I realize you're probably experiencing "Best of 2011" list fatigue and that we're already halfway through January (Happy Friday the 13th!!!), but I swear, I was very busy getting engaged at the end of 2011, so please forgive me that my list is a week later than it should be. Okay, onto the videos...

Given that the web video market is still in its toddler stage, some would even say its infancy, a common question we receive from clients for whom we produce a business video is - I made and love my new video (thanks Web Video Crew!!!), NOW WHAT, how do I get people to watch it? If you missed part 1 of this article (shame on you! JK, you can read it here), I shared the easiest, most basic ways of sharing your online video to make sure it can be found and watched. Those things should be done as soon as your video is made, and if you do nothing else, at least do those! For those small business owners who want to get maximum distribution and viewership of their business video, here are a few more tips. These suggestions are a bit more advanced ways of distributing your video, so you may need to enlist the services of your webmaster to help with these tasks.

2011-10-11T12:18:00Z Julian Martinez http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=My-Business-Video-is-Ready-Now-What-How-to-Distribute-Your-Online-Video-Part-1-of-2

Just as the theoretical tree that falls in the theoretical forest with no one around to theoretically hear it begs the theoretical question - did it ever really fall?, so too does an online video that gets filmed and edited but not advertised nor marketed beg the question - was the video really ever made? If no one ever watches it, if no one even knows it exists, does it really “exist”? You would assume that if someone were to decide to spend money to get a web video produced, he/she would have an idea of how they want to use said video. You would assume... But the interesting thing about online video is that it’s kinda like social media (the two are really first cousins in Internet marketing and search engine optimization) - just as business owners hear the buzz about Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc., so too do they see and hear everyone mentioning online video as the next big marketing wave. They know they SHOULD be doing these things, but they don’t necessarily know the HOW or the WHY behind them. This makes sense to some degree - both social media and online video are really new toys in the web marketing store. And both are dynamic, fluid, constantly-evolving mediums that are hard to keep up with. Given how fast the online video market is developing and changing, I can’t say the answers I provide them will always be the right ones. I’m 100% certain that I’ll constantly be adding and subtracting to this list of “How To Distribute Your Online Video” tips. But for the time being, the laundry list of tips and suggestions I provide our small business owner clients goes something like this.

As you’ve probably (hopefully? maybe? remote possibly?) noticed by now, we haven’t updated our blog in quite some time. You see, what had happened was... No, no excuses, just an explanation - we’ve been REALLY busy rolling out a bunch of new features, setting up a whole new subsidiary, cranking out new videos, and honestly, not really having much of a summer vacation. But seriously, once you graduate from college, does anyone really have a “summer vacation”?! So, if we didn’t go to summer camp, nor travel abroad, nor go camping or swimming in the lake or whatever else it is one is supposed to do during the Northern Hemisphere’s longest days of the year, how did we spend the summer of 2011?

Every successful business owner has an idea of what their perfect customer should look like and behave. But for the budding entrepreneur, or small mom-and-pop shop, how do they take that image of a "perfect customer" to differentiate themselves from their competition? To answer that question, you need to drill down into the finer details of who your perfect customer really is.

2011-04-07T19:26:00Z Web/Graphics Guru http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=living-large-on-a-small-budget

Recently, I was in the market for a new place to live. I wanted something that was at least better than what I currently had but no-way was I ready to spend more either. Then I realized that the only way I was going to make this work was to be smart about how I wanted to live. I didn't necessarily need a large place, I just needed a place that was clean, safe, and close to work. I eventually found a place that was far from perfect, but after a little creativity with the interior decorating, I'm beginning to feel like I'm living large on a small budget. This entire experience in my personal life made me think about how marketers across all industries face similar difficult choices everyday with limited marketing budgets. Just like how a little creative thinking allowed me to transform my less-than-perfect place into one that I'm very comfortable and happy to live in, a little creative thinking is all that's needed to revamp a stale marketing strategy. There are many ways to revamp a marketing plan that cost very little, if anything at all.

2010-12-13T08:14:00Z Web/Graphics Guru http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=video-on-my-smartphone-evo-or-iphone

It's that time of the year again for all shopaholics! Everybody has their weakness when it comes to shopping and I'm no different. My weakness is towards electronic gadgets. Last year, I ended giving myself a new Macbook as an early Christmas day present; this year it was between an Apple iPad or a new mobile phone. After spending only a few hours in deep thought, I easily succumbed to the idea of getting a new phone. What I want (.. need!) is a phone with a touchscreen, full-featured web browser, 4MP camera (or better), ability to shoot videos, and the ability to stream video clips through YouTube. Video-capabilities are extremely important to me because I tend to shoot a lot of short videos when I'm out-and-about in town and when I try new places to dine or mingle.

2010-12-01T17:46:00Z Julian Martinez http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=Recording-the-Wet-Willies-Experience

As I detailed in my last post, the most effective way to sell something is to highlight the experience of enjoying it, whatever "it" is. If a potential customer can picture themselves having fun with your product or service, you've got a sale. Another good example I had originally included in my previous post but decided to omit at the last minute but still really wanted to write about was the experience of going to Wet Willie’s and how it related to the Las Vegas and South Africa experiences, albeit on a much smaller scale.

2010-11-16T05:44:00Z Julian Martinez http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=What-Happens-in-South-Africa-Stays-in-South-Africa-What-the-South-African-Tourism-Industry-Can-Learn-from-Las-Vegas-About-Marketing

In my opinion, South Africa (and to a larger extent, Africa in general) should take a cue from the Las Vegas playbook and appeal to the emotional pull of an African experience. Let’s face it – Vegas is Vegas. There’s only one Las Vegas in the world – it is the standard by which all other casinos judge themselves. There are quite a few popular casinos in South Africa, but every time we would ask the locals if they were worth visiting, their response was “Well, it’s not Las Vegas, but it will do”. South Africa has that same uniqueness, that same ability to serve as THE definition of an experience. Safari in Africa is unmatched in the world. Where else can you be sitting in an open-air safari vehicle – no doors, no roof – ten feet from a full grown male lion who’s pacing back and forth near his buffalo kill as a growing pack of hyenas slowly encroaches? Where else can you dine in a world-class restaurant and 30 minutes later be driving cautiously to avoid the baboons on the side of the road? Well in Cape Town, you can dine along the highly popular Long Street, hop in your car and drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, where the only things more distracting than the view of the Table Mountains are the signs on the side of the road informing you that baboons are dangerous and should not be fed (still funny to me!!).

2010-11-03T17:58:00Z The Jippidy Team http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=do-your-research-when-you-eat-out

Over the weekend I wanted to treat my sister to a nice vegetarian dinner. She's an on-and-off vegetarian that loves the healthy aspects of having a no-meat diet (but she does have her moments when she craves and orders a thick piece of steak). Unfortunately, for the last 3 months, she's been a devout vegetarian and I'll happily admit… I just absolutely hate our brother-sister bonding days when she refuses to convert into a meat-eater! Those are the days I have to be "considerate" of her needs and actually try to pick a place that I'll like yet is also vegetarian-friendly.

2010-10-11T21:45:00Z Web/Graphics Guru http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=email-marketing-videos-on-steroids

At a time before videos and social media ever existed within product pages and newsletter blasts, companies relied on simple text-only emails to entice their customers to buy their products. Today, it's almost standard for email blasts (and newsletters) to contain multiple product images, logos, and each taken from different angles. And now as I try to imagine the near future, its looking more like email marketing will evolve to be able to handle videos. Is your company (and, more importantly, are your email blasts) ready for the future?

2010-09-29T13:45:00Z The Jippidy Team http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=Getting-Turned-ON-with-Online-Video-Marketing-vs-PPC

If you're a small business and are fortunate enough to have a little extra cash laying around, you might begin to wonder what is the most effective use of the few extra dollars you have sitting in your pocket. One of the most common questions I see in online forums is the dilemma between which marketing method is better: investing in an online video marketing campaign consisting of free video sharing sites… OR, investing in pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns and "buying" your way to the top? While both will have their own share of loyal followers, I tend to sway more towards the method that has the best chance of improving your overall organic search engine position.

As I write this article in one of my neighborhood coffee shops here in LA, I can't help but notice the never-ending chatter of how bad the economy has been and how businesses are penny-pinching across all segments of their business (marketing, investing, hiring, bonuses, etc.). But what I also hear over my shoulders are a few positive stories of how businesses have learned to ride the wave of negative economic news. In a nutshell, what I've come to realize is that there is a general behavior of businesses that are performing poorly and have the highest risk of closing it's doors.

For anybody in the creative industry, I think I can speak for the majority when I say we creative/tech guys can always use a faster, better, computer. Unfortunately, not every one of us has the money to exactly achieve that. For new videographers, or those still "in training", what exactly is the best hardware specifications to look for when buying or building a computer for video editing?

2010-07-22T08:32:00Z Julian Martinez http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=How-My-Parents-Learned-About-the-Benefits-of-Online-Video

Your customers all gravitated towards the Internet, so you eventually put up a website. Now your customers are all gravitating towards Hulu, YouTube and (hopefully) Jippidy – so why not jump on the online video bandwagon a bit early? No really, why not?!

Dad – we love him, we respect him, we adore him, we are thankful for all that he’s done for us. Yes, at times he talks too much, he thinks he knows EVERYTHING, and he’s NEVER wrong about anything, but we love him just the same. And this Sunday, we take the time to show him that we appreciate him. I've put together a list of ten businesses Jippidy has filmed that I think could serve as a good way to show your appreciation this Father’s Day. I’ve even included the videos and special discounts where applicable for your viewing convenience, so take a look. And no, none of them sell ties, so think outside the box!

The biggest takeaway is that with online video, you don’t have to be a Hollywood director, you don’t even necessarily need a video camera per se (though it does make things easier, obviously). Online video experts, web personalities, YouTube celebrities, they all agree – when it comes to online video production, be like Nike and Just Do It!

Sailing for 11-hour intervals in open seas with no land or humans in sight, one’s mind can’t help but wander on to anything and everything. Every thought gets vetted, new ideas spring to life, memories revisited, your brain entertaining you to combat the boredom/relaxation. Inevitably my thoughts raced back to business, specifically the business of Jippidy, and what it means to launch your own enterprise. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how many parallels there were between sailing and launching your own business. With that, here are the 11 ways that sailing the Bahamas reminded me of hustling to launch Jippidy.

Most of the videographers we bring on to our team aspire to be the next big filmmaker ala Speilberg or Cameron, we love their motivation as we try to align ourselves with people who strive to be the best at their craft. Over the last year and half, we’ve also realized that when it comes to our candidate pool, there are two distinct mindsets, the videographer’s and filmmaker’s. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, our seasoned videographers understand the difference and so are able to tailor how they work the type of gig.

Since we are working hard to build the ideal platform for a business’ needs, it only makes sense to learn what sparked Northstar’s interest in our site. Here’s what they had to say.

2010-03-23T22:45:00Z Jeffrey Kim http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=Mindset-and-mentality-of-a-salesman

Mar. 23,2010...Selling is tough. When I was involved in real estate, my boss constantly told me that “making money is not easy”. He'd continue, “how many people do you know who want to make a lot of money? How many are actually doing it?” Maybe not the best of arguments, but I understood his point.

2010-03-19T19:55:00Z The Jippidy Team http://blog.jippidy.com/?name=Youtube-needs-an-unbraded-video-player

Mar 19,2010...Youtube needs aggressively target professionally generated content. With regard to monetizing content, far more non-professional content makes its way onto the site, in fact non-monetizable content is growing geometrically. I’m not sure if Youtube can ever challenge Hulu ($30 CPM claimed) for TV content but they are definitely well suited to monetize SMB content.

The responsibilities of any young Internet startup hoping to make a name for itself by default and definition MUST include networking in the circle within which your enterprise plans to operate. Another major obligation of any organization, whether it be a bootstrapped startup, a fortune 500 company or a youth basketball team, SHOULD include philanthropic efforts in some way, shape or form - not every organization can finance a Gates Foundation, but any group can volunteer at the local homeless shelter.

While we’re not experts on the restaurant industry nor statisticians, we’ve made a lot of restaurant videos in the last year. Below are videos of establishments we shot in 2009 that are no longer solvent.

Mar 12, 2010...having an idea is great, but you need more than that. In fact good SEO may be easier and more beneficial than social media marketing. With so many social networks out there, people are starting to become jaded.

5GWW6JMWXNGC I believe a good sales strategy will work, as long as you work it. Too many people get into the trap of coming up with a good strategy but changing it within only a few days or maybe weeks of implementation because they didn’t see results quick enough. Set benchmarks for yourself, what is reasonable progress in reasonable time for you? Don’t fall into the trap of having the idea or strategy of the week. Don’t get me wrong, if what you’re doing isn’t working you have to adjust your strategy, but once again it goes back to what benchmarks you had set for yourself.

Mar 7, 2010...Feedback, feedback, feedback! If you’re planning to launch a startup, you better get use to it. Virtually everyone will have something to say, some will share their opinion about your product, while others will tell you what you need to do to grow your market share.

So if video is so fresh and so clean, so vital to your business, then why are so few business owners currently utilizing video in their marketing efforts? Let me answer a question with a question we commonly hear: “Why do I need a video on my website?” This question is probably the single biggest stumbling block we at Jippidy have encountered in our attempts to market the product on a larger scale. So, why the slow growth in adoption?

This Thursday, February 4 at Jippidy's Mas Happy Hour in the Marina, we will be pouring vodka cocktails from a fellow SF-based startup - our sponsor, Devotion Vodka, the world's first protein-infused gourmet vodka! With its recent launch party at Harlot & its sponsorship of the6th Annual Pre-Grammy Brunch during the 2010 Grammy Weekend in Beverly Hills, Devotion is making a name for itself amongst the cool kids on the West Coast. The unique/cool thing about Devotion Vodka, besides the smooth taste, is the addition of Casein, the main protein found in milk and cheese. Which means that theoretically, you can hit the gym right before you head to happy hour, order a Devotion Vodka & soda, and feel good about yourself - low carb, zero calories, AND an infusion of protein! ;-)
