February 24, 2009 - NORFOLK, Va. - Cycle Trader, the industry leader in motorcycle classifieds and a division of Dominion Enterprises, today launched “CycleCast,” a full motion video product that integrates YouTube and Google video directly into a private party online classified ad. The result is a more effective and memorable ad and a richer customer experience.
The role and growth of video use on the Internet has been well documented. In a recent eMarketing.com study, over 67 percent of Internet users watch online videos when making a buying decision – a number that is expected to rise to 88 percent in coming years.
“CycleTrader.com’s mission is to connect buyers with sellers,” said Jim Jensen, director of marketing for Cycle Trader. “CycleCast enables private party sellers to showcase their powersports vehicle, while giving buyers the ability to take a virtual tour of the bike on their own time. It allows customers to see and hear the bike. The only thing missing is the exhaust fumes – and we’re working on that.”
With 89 percent of customers remembering specific details about video ads, CycleCast offers a distinct advantage to those sellers who utilize it.
For a limited time Cycle Trader is offering CycleCast free of charge to its private party sellers. Simply log on to www.CycleTrader.com/sell/ to take advantage of this offer.
